It runs an octa-core processor and 1GB of RAM

It looks like more and more OEMs are tempted to launch affordable smartphones powered by Microsoft's Windows 10 Mobile operating system.

One of the reasons might be the fact that Microsoft waived any license fees for those handset makers that release Windows Phones and sign an agreement with the Redmond-based company.

Also, the competition is a lot less fiercer on the Windows Phone market, especially that Microsoft has decided to limit the number of smartphones it launches every year.

One of the OEMs that seem to have decided to try their luck on the Windows Phone market is Quanta, a company specialized in notebook computers with operations in Asia, America and Europe.

A new product under Quanta's brand has been recently spotted in GFXBench database, but it's unclear whether it will eventually make it to the market or not.

We might never see this device on the market

The Quanta MTP8952 is a prototype smartphone that has been recently tested with the GFX benchmark, which gave us the opportunity to talk about its specs.

According to the listing at GFXBench, Quanta MTP8592 is a mid-range smartphone powered by Windows 10 Mobile operating system.

Even though the smartphone is confirmed to run “Windows Phone,” we doubt that Quanta will bring this device on the market with another version of the OS other than Windows 10 Mobile.

The MTP8592 sports a 4.7-inch capacitive touchscreen display that supports full HD (1080p) resolution. It also packs an octa-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 615 processor, an Adreno 405 graphics processing unit and 1GB of RAM.

Quanta's handset packs 16GB of internal memory, but there's no mention of microSD card slot for memory expansion. No details on the rear camera are available either, but we do know the smartphone will come with a 1-megapixel shooter in the front.

If Quanta decides to go official with the MTP8952, it will most likely be introduced in just a few countries. Stay tuned for more on this one.
