Inside the smartphone, there will be the latest Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 processor which offers 2.7GHz clock speed. Along with that for better graphics processing, there is an Adreno 630 GPU.
The device has a 6GB RAM and 128 GB of internal storage capacity. On the front side, it has a 19MP camera. On the rear side, it may carry a dual camera setup just like the Xperia XZ2 Premium and will come with a 19MP and a 12MP camera. The listing reveals that the back camera can capture 4K videos.

The device doesn’t have any 3.5mm audio jack which is quite disappointing.
