Nokia X: 4-inch screen, dual-core Snapdragon CPU

Possible specs of the Android-based Nokia X, aka Nokia Normandy, has been made available online. Showcasing a 4-inch screen, a dual core Snapdragon CPU, and a 5 megapixel camera.

We first reported about the Nokia Normandy, now known as the Nokia X, back in December. It is rumored to be Nokia’s upcoming entry-level offering running a new Android-based OS with support for Android APKs.

More leaks have been provided in a short period of time that it gave us almost a complete idea of what the device is all about. One of the most recent leaks provided are the specs courtesy of @evleaks.

Nokia X specs (unofficial):
4-inch WVGA (480 x 800) display, 233ppi
dual-core 1GHz Snapdragon CPU
512MB RAM
4GB of internal storage
microSD card support
5 megapixel camera
Nokia Store + “3rd party”
dual-SIM, dual standby
1,500mAh battery
6 color variants (Black, White, Red, Blue, Yellow, Green)

The CPU and camera specs coincide with the device info on a purported AnTuTu benchmark of the said smartphone. Below is a screenshot of the UI, again from @evleaks:

The remaining questions to be asked now are the price and country availability. We expect the price to fall comfortably between the most expensive Asha and the cheapest WP8 Lumia which is between Php5,000 to Php8,000, to avoid cannibalism.

While these leaks provide a lot of information, things are still far from being official. It is however, a good sign to the hopefuls that a Nokia droid is just around the corner waiting to be released. And it’s just a matter of time.

Nokia Normandy could be an entry-level Android phone

Reports are floating around that Nokia’s upcoming entry-level offering, the Nokia “Normandy”, could be the Finnish company’s first Android-based phone.

The image shown above was leaked by @evleaks back in late November. From its looks and lone navigation button at the bottom, it can be easily taken as a new Lumia-inspired Asha phone. But according to an article by The Verge, it’s possible that the new phone will run Nokia’s own version of Android and will have the capability to run Android-based apps – something that Amazon has been doing with their Kindle Fire tablets.

It was reported back in September that Nokia is working on a project called “Asha on Linux” and that getting Android to run on Nokia’s hardware “was not a Herculean engineering effort”, so the possibility is there.

A Nokia Android phone is something that everyone has been looking forward to. However, things should be taken with a grain of salt as nothing is official as of the moment. We’ll soon find out once, and if, the device gets launched next year.
