The claim that it is uses the same chipset as Xperia XA2 is what really tipped me. The XA2 uses Cortex A53 cores, which is made for low-power efficiency, not performance, and which has been superseded by the A55 anyway. So, them using such poor performing CPU for something high end would be baffling.
