Specs and image leak indicates Nokia X2 will have dual-core CPU, 1GB RAM

Nokia had their hands tied when it came to choosing a winning OS for their smartphones in the early days, but since the Nokia X platform, the company has a bit more leeway to experiment in the lower-end segment. While we were not all that impressed with the  Nokia X , there has been considerable fanfare and buzz around the new Nokia XL launch. But what next for Nokia’s X platform?

If a benchmark result posted on Baidu is to be believed, a next-gen Nokia X2 is in the works. The Antutu benchmark scores showed it scored 11827 points, which points to a dual-core processor once again. The Nokia X resembled an Asha 501 in terms of it design and it’s likely the X2 will have a similar one-button front. It will also get another home button, according to the leak, along with the back button. It will be powered by a 1.2 GHz dual core, Snapdragon 200(MSM 8210) processor and will reportedly have 1 GB of RAM. The current Nokia X series phones are powered by 1 GHz dual-core Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 play (MSM 8225) and have between 512 and 768 MB of RAM

While we don’t know anything else about the phone, there’s a front-facing camera in the alleged image of the phone. Nokia X was not much of a looker but the X2 promises to be a better in design with a two-tone back cover. The X2 is also rumoured to have 4GB native storage capacity same as the Nokia X, with a MicroSD card slot.
