HMD Global has a new phone coming called the Nokia X71. It is scheduled for release on Tuesday, April 2. The phone has now made an appearance on Geekbench and the benchmark result reveals some key details.
The Nokia X71 was benchmarked yesterday. It runs Android 9 Pie which is no surprise. This is HMD Global we are talking about and as far as I know, no manufacturer has a track record as great as theirs when it comes to regular updates.
What is interesting about the Nokia X71 is its processor which is revealed to be the Snapdragon 660. This is the same chipset that powers the Nokia 7 Plus and it is paired with 6GB of RAM. However, the scores are lower than that of other Snapdragon 660 phones like the Nokia 7 Plus or the Mi 8 Lite. Geekbench listings are easy to fake these days, so take this with a grain of salt.
There are reports the Nokia X71 is actually a successor to the Nokia 6.1/Nokia 6 (2018). If this is so, then the Snapdragon 660 is fitting since the Nokia 6.1 is powered by the Snapdragon 630. The original Nokia 6 launched with a Snapdragon 430 processor.
