Phonearena reported the sighting first and notes that a device dubbed Sony TS-0010 has been spotted at the FCC, where the device is defined as both a 'portable handset' and a 'portable UMPC mini-tablet'.
Further the FCC listing reveals that the alleged Sony TS-0010 boasts similar dimensions to the Xperia Z Ultra phablet, hinting that the Japanese maker might be working on a new variant of the phablet. The FCC listing also reveals that the alleged device does not support cellular connectivity and instead includes options like Wi-Fi with 802.11a/b/g/n/ac standard, Bluetooth 4.0 (Bluetooth Low Energy), NFC and GPS. The FCC listing also shows a 2.4GHz processor with bands 5.xGHz. Unfortunately, the FCC listing does not shed much light on the innards of the device like RAM, inbuilt storage, camera, battery.
