The screen protector features cut-outs for a single camera, an LED flash and an earpiece. The phone might be launched running on the Snapdragon 855 SoC, with 6GB and 8GB RAM options, and it could be announced with 64GB and 128GB of internal storage models.

An unofficial handset with the model number I8134 is said to have popped up on the benchmarking website that scored 395721 and it is speculated to be a Sony device, maybe the Xperia XZ4. This score is slightly higher than what we have previously encountered and beats the scores of the Apple A12 Bionic (~350K) and the Huawei Kirin 980 (~270K).  Related Read: Alleged Samsung Galaxy S10+ scores 325,076 points on AnTuTu Coming to the optics, the Sony Xperia XZ4 is suspected to feature a triple-camera setup on the back.
