Just before the announcement of the Smartisan R1 flagship later today, the manufacturer has released another phone – the Smartisan Nut Pro 2 Special Edition. The new phone has been listed on JD.com.

The original Nut Pro 2 was launched in November 2017 and is one of the best designed and most affordable Snapdragon 660 phones in the market. So what is new in the special edition since the original actually has five different variants?

There is only one major change and that is the processor. The Smartisan Nut Pro 2 Special Edition swaps out the Snapdragon 660 processor for a Snapdragon 636. Yes, a less-powerful processor. However, it comes with 6GB of RAM and 64GB of storage. The rest of the specs have been left untouched.

So you have a 5.99” FHD display, 12MP + 5MP dual rear cameras, 16MP front camera, and a 3,500mAh battery with support for 18W fast charging. It also has a fingerprint scanner and support for face unlock, a USB-C port, and nano-SIM.
