Alcatel 6045 One Touch leaks with a 64-bit Snapdragon 610

A new Alcatel smartphone with a 64-bit processor has bee spotted at the GFXBenchmark database. Dubbed One Touch 6045, the phone sports a Snapdragon 610 chipset with a 1.5GHz quad-core Cortex-A53 CPU and 2GB of RAM.

GFXBenchmark is reporting the device's display to be 13.7" in size, but that's likely a mistake. Nevertheless, the exact size of the display is unknown, but its resolution is 1920 x 1080 pixels.

The rest of the specs include a 12MP main snapper and a 7MP front-facing camera, both recording 1080p video. There's 8GB of internal storage, which is likely to be expandable via a microSD card slot. The Alcatel One Touch 6045 ran Android 5.0.2 during the testing.

We should know more about the Alcatel's upcoming mid-range smartphone at the Mobile World Congress - the company is holding its event on March 1.

Sony E2003/E2033 mid-ranger with 64-bit chipset uncovered

A new Sony mid-range phone is in the works, its existence given away by GFX Bench. The Sony E2003/E2033 looks like a successor to the Xperia E3 with a 4.6" qHD screen (540 x 960px) and a 64-bit MediaTek chipset.

The chipset is MT6752 with four Cortex-A53 cores (at 1.5GHz), coupled with 1GB of RAM and a Mali-T760 GPU. There's also around 5GB of user-available storage pointing to 8GB total. The phone runs Android 4.4.4 KitKat, surely with Sony's usual skin.

The Sony E2003/E2033 has s 5MP main camera that shoots 1080p video and a 2MP front-facing camera that goes up to the unusual video resolution of 1,600 x 1,200px. This is a single-SIM device (at least these two versions are) and the chipset supports LTE though that's not something that the benchmark can detect.

Sony has a MWC event for March 2 and while we are not sure if it will feature the Xperia Z4, this E2003/E2033 mid-ranger might show up to fill in the ranks.

The whole thing sounds almost exactly like the Xperia E4, though that one has a bigger screen (5") and a 32-bit processor (based on Cortex-A7). That one has a model number of E2105 and waspreviewed in December, months before it's official unveiling.

Speculation depicts that Samsung SM-T239 may be called Galaxy Tab 4 Lite 7.0 LTE (64-bit chipset)

Speculation depicts that Samsung SM-T239 may be called Galaxy Tab 4 Lite 7.0 LTE (64-bit chipset)

It seems that Samsung is updating its Galaxy Tab 4 lineup to 64-bit processors – the Galaxy Tab 4 10.1,the Tab 4 8.0 and now the Tab 4 7.0 as well. The 7″ device (model number SM-T239) was recently imported into India for testing.

The same tipster that sent us the Galaxy Xcover 3 info dropped us a line, saying that the market name of the tablet might be Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 Lite 7.0 LTE (*takes breath*), so probably not a Galaxy Tab 5 model though that’s not 100% confirmed.

Also, while it packs a quad-core Cortex-A53 processor, it will not use a Snapdragon 410 chipset. Instead our source points to the Marvell Armada Mobile PXA1908. That’s the chipset that will allegedly be used in the Galaxy Xcover 3.

It’s also a successor to the PXA1088 used in the Wi-Fi only Galaxy Tab 4 7.0 (the Tab 4 7.0 3G used a Vivante chipset, the Tab 4 7.0 LTE had an Exynos 3). The new PXA1908 chipset supports both TD-LTE and FDD-LTE, along with 3G, TD-SCDMA and GSM, meaning it will play well with Chinese carriers.

Anyway, the Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 Lite 7.0 LTE will launch with Android 4.4 KitKat though we don’t have an exact launch date. It can’t be long now that the device is in testing though.
