Sony phones don't need the highest SoC variant because they are very stable. Look at the Notbookcheck bechmarks and they either the higher scores in with similar competitors or only just short of competitors with higher SoC variants.
Sony are also very prone to overheat with the high soc...
if that is true then it will be definitely taller than the Zenfone 9 (146.5) which is 5.9" with 68.1 mm wide where this here is 6" with a narrower body
i hate this from sony! it is not a compact phone when it is that high(if u know what i mean :P)
Not sure why they are using such a ratio
