Is this the first sign of the Sony Xperia Z4 Compact?

A new Sony handset has been outed on a benchmark website with the model number E5663. This could be the first hint of the Sony Xperia Z4 Compact.

The handset, according to the GFXBench listing, will have a 4.6-inch screen, just like the Xperia Z3 Compact before it. Unlike its predecessor, the screen will have a resolution of 1080p rather than 720p.

It is also listed as featuring an octa-core MediaTek MT6795 CPU and 3GB RAM. It has 16GB of internal storage, but it’s expected that you can use a microSD card to extend this further.

Like many Sony handsets, this mysterious device will keep the same 20.7 megapixel main camera. Its selfie camera could be in for a significant upgrade, perhaps being bumped up to 13 megapixels.

There is some uncertainty regarding where this handset may be available. The “63” part of the model number hints that it may be destined for India, as Sony Xperia M4 Aqua Dual and Xperia C4 Dual launched in India with model numbers E2363 and E5363 respectively.

We will bring you more details about this compact handset as they become available.
