Leaked specs of Nokia Heart suggest a Snapdragon 430-powered budget Android smartphone

News of Nokia branded smartphones is pouring in at quite a rate since HMD Global acquired the rights to Nokia’s brand name. The first phone under this new regime was the Chinese-exclusive Nokia 6. Now we’re hearing rumours of the arrival of yet another Nokia phone called the Nokia Heart.

GizChina spotted a listing for the device on benchmarking site GFXBench and as you can see, the specs suggest a smaller, cheaper smartphone than the Nokia 6.

The listing indicates a phone running Andorid 7.0 (Woohoo!), an octa-core Snapdragon 430 SoC (the same that you’d find on the Xiaomi Redmi 3S Prime ), 2GB of RAM, 16GB of internal storage, a 12MP rear camera with Full HD recording capabilities (1080p) and a 7MP front camera with Full HD video capabilities as well. The display appears to be a 5.2-inch HD display (1280x720).

It also appears to be a single SIM phone, but we can’t be sure.

Strangely enough, when compared to the Nokia 6 , the Heart appears to be faster. It’s quite likely the higher resolution screen on the Nokia 6 (Full HD) is hurting its performance numbers.

The Nokia 6 features the same Snapdragon 430 as the Heart, but has double the RAM at 4GB and 64GB of internal storage. It also has a larger 5.5-inch screen with Full HD resolution, a 16MP rear camera and supports micro SD cards up to 256GB in capacity.

In its current configuration, the Nokia Heart will be going head-to-head with the likes of the Redmi 3S Prime. The Prime offers more RAM (3GB), more internal storage (32GB), but a slightly smaller screen at 5.0-inches. The 3S Prime retails for Rs 8,999.

No other details of the Nokia Heart are known. There’s not even an image of the device.
