Rumors have it that a mysterious smartphone codenamed as Nokia Heart is in works. It is said to be cheaper version of the recently released Nokia 6 smartphone. It is expected to cost around $150
Nokia 6 was announced earlier this year with a pricing of $249 in China. The company was criticized for carrying such a price tag for a smartphone that features a low-end Snapdragon 430 chipset. Now that a mysterious Nokia phone has been spotted with the same chipset, speculations are rife that the company is working on a cheaper edition of Nokia 6, Gizmo China reported.
According to the GFXBench listing of Nokia Heart, the handset features a 5.2-inch display that produces a resolution of 720 x 1280 pixels. The Nokia 6 is packed with a 5.5-inch full HD display that supports a resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels.
The Snapdragon 430 chipset features a 1.4 GHz octa-core processor and Adreno 505 graphics. The chipset is coupled with 2 GB of RAM. The native storage of the device is 16 GB. The Nokia 6 features 4 GB of RAM and an inbuilt storage of 64 GB.
It will be arriving with Android 7.0 Nougat preinstalled. However, the GFXBench listing shows that it features Android HMD Edition which indicates that a customized version of Nougat OS may be present on the device. It is expected to features a 13-megapixel rear-facing camera whereas its front side will be flanked with an 8-megapixel front-facing camera.
Nokia will be present at the upcoming Mobile World Congress (MWC) 2017 to announce new devices. Even though the company is expected to launch a flagship device at MWC 2017, there is no confirmation on the devices it will be unveiling at the event, Phone Arena reported.
Other rumors suggest that the Snapdragon 835 chipset powered Nokia P1 flagship is slated for an announcement in the second half of the year. The company is also rumored to be working on a huge 18.4-inch tablet that will be driven by Snapdragon 835 SoC.
The Nokia 6 that has relaunched the Nokia brand in the smartphone world has met with good reception. Reports suggest that the entire stock of Nokia 6 was sold within a minute through its flash sale.
