Sony Xperia Z1 benchmarked, Snapdragon 800 does as expected

We saw the press image of the Sony Honami a.k.a Xperia Z1 earlier today and now, we have the alleged benchmark results of the upcoming cameraphone flagship from Sony.

The alleged AnTuTu scores of what seems to be the Chinese variant of the Xperia Z1 once again confirms that the smartphone will be powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 chipset with Adreno 330 GPU and quad-core Krait 400 CPU.

The Xperia Z1 with codename L39h runs on Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean and has managed to score an impressive 30,625 points in the Antutu benchmark. This puts it among the most powerful smartphones in the market right now, even though its firmware is certainly far from finished.

Sony's upcoming flagship smartphone has created a buzz among the tech enthusiasts, in no small part due to its rumored 20.7 megapixel camera it carries. The camera is also said to support 4K video recording and the shooter is expected to perform well during the low-light conditions helped by its Xenon and LED flash combo.

Unfortunately, there is no authentic confirmation on the benchmark results, so take it with a pinch of salt.
