HMD Global, a Finnish company, affiliated with Nokia, has relaunched Nokia branded mobile devices in the market. The tech giant is working on several smartphones to target every price range from the entry-level to high-end flagship devices. However, Nokia’s entry-level smartphone, dubbed as the Nokia 2, has now appeared on the Geekbench, hinting its specs and its imminent release.
As reported by Playful Droid, the Geekbench listing unveiled Nokia 2’s alleged code name, Unknown Heart. The listing made it known that the smartphone has scored 422 on a single-core test and in the multi-score test, the device scored 1146.
The scores hint that the handset will be an entry-level smartphone.
Smartphone’s specs and features
The Nokia 2 smartphone will be powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 212 chipset, coupled with a 1GB of RAM. The GeekBench listing also revealed that the mobile device would arrive with a quad-core processor clocked at 1.27 GHz and the smartphone will run on the Android 7.1.1 Nougat operating system out of the box.
Company’s most affordable handset
According to Indian Express, the GeekBench listing seems to indicate that HMD Global is preparing its most affordable smartphone. However, the company has so far rolled out three handsets, Nokia 3, 5 and 6. Wherein, the Nokia 3 smartphone is an entry-level device, which can be purchased through offline retail channels.
In terms of design, the Nokia 2 will be slightly smaller compared to the Nokia 3. The mobile device could feature curved corners. BGR reported that the smartphone could look like the Windows mobile smartphone, Lumia 620.
The Nokia 2 smartphone still has no release date yet, but the tech giant is planning to launch the Nokia 8 on August 16.
The company has recently sent out the invites for the event, and the launch will transpire in London. The flagship mobile device will likely arrive with a 5.3-inch Quad HD display, Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 835 chipset and a dual rear camera with Carl Zeiss optics. The smartphone is also expected to come with a 2K display.
In spite of that, following the roll out of the Nokia 3, 5 and 6 handsets, the company acquired a good reception from the industry.
Nevertheless, tech enthusiasts are expecting the company to launch a budget, entry-level handset and more flagship mobile devices. However, the entry-level smartphone will be covered by the Nokia 2, while the flagship handset would be fulfilled by the Nokia 8.
