Sony ST26i benchmarks reveal Android 4.0, 4-inch FWVGA display and lackluster performance
Author: Heather Brown
Rumors of the Sony ST26i smartphone have been swirling for a while now, but up until recently, we’ve had nothing to sink our teeth into. Thankfully, we’ve now come across an OpenGL benchmark test and system profile for the yet-to-be-announced handset, and while this one seems destined for emerging markets and budget-minded consumers, the ST26i will come with just enough niceties to hold its head high. First and foremost, the system profile reveals Ice Cream Sandwich on the handset, and even better, it’ll include a 4-inch, 854 x 480 display — none of that HVGA crap here. To keep costs low, sacrifices had to be made: the phone will include a Qualcomm MSM7627A SoC, which includes a pedestrian 800MHz CPU and an Adreno 200 GPU. Curiously, the ST26i was previously rumored to contain an ST-Ericsson U8500 chip with a dual-core 1GHz CPU, which leaves open the possibility that we may see different configurations based on markets. Still, if Sony is able to exercise some restraint with its custom skin, the ST26i could shape up to be a very nice handset.
