A few days ago, a ”new” Nokia phone called the Nokia Pixel was seen on Geekbench. The low-end specifications of the phone coupled with the fact that it runs Android Nougat gave people the impression that Nokia was working on a low-budget phone that will launch with the latest version of Android. However, it appears that won’t be happening as it has been found out that the Nokia Pixel is actually the Nokia X2.

Not this guy below………

……It’s this guy in green.

It was discovered that the person who uploaded the results changed the device name to trick people into thinking Nokia has a low-spec’d Nougat phone in the pipeline.

Apart from the fact that the specs are outdated, the benchmark scores are very close to that of the Nokia Ara which was the codename for the Nokia X2 before it was released. The fact that it is even running a newer version of Android does nothing to boost the scores.

We know its sad to have our hopes of a low-spec’d Nougat phone dashed talk-less of one expected from Nokia but it wouldn’t be bad if the company were to release such a phone. They could replace the SoC with a Snapdragon 210 which has LTE by the way and throw in a great 8MP rear camera, a 2200mAh battery,and price it at about $40 to $50. I’m sure quite a number of people will pick one for their kids and elderly relatives.

It is becoming obvious by the day that the return of smartphone legend Nokia into the Android market is imminent. The company was tipped to release a smartphone before the year runs out but that isn’t likely anymore. Even at that, a return in the first quarter of 2017 is possible and GeekBench may have given us an idea of what to expect from the Finnish company. A Nokia smartphone dubbed Nokia Pixel has been spotted on benchmark website GeekBench database, revealing some of its specs.

The Nokia Pixel doesn’t really tickle on the specs table as it is listed as sporting a Snapdragon 200 chip under its hood which is a Dual-core CPU clocked at 1.19GHz. There is also an Adreno 302 GPU and just 1GB of RAM onboard. The device has Android 7.0 Nougat pre-installed inside despite the low-level spec listed.

The device can be nothing but an entry level smartphone because the benchmark results also didn’t fly. The Nokia Pixel posted a score of 404 points on the single-core test and 661 points on the multi-core test. Apart from these, not much is revealed about the Nokia Pixel which would likely not bear the same name when launched.

This comes just when the dust generated by the Nokia D1C was dying down. The D1C made the rounds on benchmark, appearing on AnTuTu, Geekbench but then the device took a new twist when it appeared on GFXBench placing a 13.8-inch tablet specs on the device. We’ll just have to wait for more leaks to surface about the expected Nokia products which would likely be more than one.
