Google Nexus 5P Sailfish has been spotted again online. This time, it stopped by the comprehensive Android Benchmarking application, AnTuTu.

According to reports, the smaller variant of the two upcoming Nexus phones showed up in the popular benchmark database, and it once again revealed some of the specs and features that were already seen in the databases of GFXBench and GeekBench.

No new information has been revealed, but it did re-confirm some of the specifications that were released earlier. The listing confirmed that the device will be sporting a 5-inch display with a 1080x1920 full HD resolution.

It is said to be equipped under the hood with a Snapdragon 820 quad-core SoC, which is a more powerful chipset compared to the Snapdragon 808 SoC found in the Nexus 5X.

It's also said to carry Adreno 530 GPU graphics card. As for the random access memory (RAM) count, reports say that it will be paired with 4 GB of RAM and will come with a storage space of 32 GB which can be expanded further. It can be noted that the new device is making a big leap from its predecessor which came with just 2 GB of RAM.

In terms of camera features, the listing claims that the Nexus 5P Sailfish will be sporting a 13-megapixel rear camera that is allegedly capable of recording 4K videos. On the front will be an 8-megapixel camera with QHD video.

The device is also purported to be pre-installed with the latest Android operating system, which is the unreleased Nougat 7.0. If it turns out to be correct, the Nexus 5P will be the first device to run with the Android 7.0 Nougat.

Moreover, the device is said to feature a rear-facing fingerprint scanner and will come in few color choices.

There is no specific date yet for the release of the Nexus 5P Sailfish as well as its bigger variant, the Nexus Marlin. It's speculated to come sometime in October, though.

None of these rumors have been confirmed, so it's best to take these reports with a pinch of salt.
