A new device running the latest Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 SoC has apparently made a visit to the AnTuTu benchmark testing site, receiving an impressive score of 83,774.

Tech Grapple, citing a Weibo post, said that a handset named “Green Orange X1 Pro,” with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 (MSM8996) chip on board, amassed a brilliant 83,774 score in AnTuTu. Apart from the chipset, the device features a 1,080 x 1,920 pixels screen resolution, instead of the now-famous 1,440 x 2,560 pixels QHD resolution.

According to Phone Arena, the Snapdragon 820 chip comes with Qualcomm's 64-bit ARM based Kryo processor. Qualcomm claimed that the Snapdragon 820 SoC has the capability to provide “twice the performance and power efficiency” seen in the predecessor Snapdragon 810 chip, which suffered overheating problems in the past.

On the other hand, the first smartphone to come powered by a Snapdragon 820 chip is believed to be the Xiaomi Mi 5. The release date of this Xiaomi handset is pegged to be in March 2016.

As far as the key Green Orange X1 Pro specifications go, the smartphone’s display size is unknown at this point. However, the handset sports a 16-megapixel rear-facing camera unit. On the software front, Google’s Android 4.4.2 runs the show. In addition, this unknown device comes backed by 4 GB of RAM and is equipped with a whopping 64 GB of internal storage capacity.

Under the hood, the Snapdragon 820 chip apparently works in combination with an octa-core processor, whereas the graphics side is taken care of by Adreno 530 GPU. Following its release, the Snapdragon 810 successor is expected to have a face off with MediaTek's powerful Helio X20 chipset, which comes with a deca-core processor, according to Phone Arena.
