A new entry on the GFXBench testing website may be the forthcoming Sony E4. The Sony E4 is expected to be the next iteration of Sony’s budget model following up on the Sony E3. We originally thought the device may be revealed at CES 2015 after an image surfaced back in December. After that did not materialize, we started looking toward MWC 2015 to see whether Sony might reveal the device during that event. The specs listed on the GFXBench site are mostly consistent with earlier reports of the Sony E4, though it looks like the smartphone may have shrunk just a little bit.
According to the new entry for Sony devices with model number E2003 and E2033, Sony is producing a smartphone with a 4.6-inch 960 x 540 resolution screen powered by a MediaTek MT6752 chip running at 1.5 GHz and 1 GB of RAM. The device will also come with 8 MB of internal storage expandable via microSD, a 5MP rear-facing camera, support for 4G LTE, and it will run Android KitKat. When the device first appeared, it was expected to have at least a 5-inch screen and a slightly slower 1.3 GHz MediaTek 6582 processor.
Although smartphone manufacturers always have a lot riding on their flagship devices and this is true for struggling Sony, having a wide and deep portfolio of devices is important as well. While this new low- to mid-range device may not be exciting, it will be important to Sony’s business, so don’t be surprised to see it surface as part of Sony’s announcements at MWC 2015.
