Leaked Specifications of Microsoft's Android based Nokia X2

A quad-core Snapdragon 200, 1GB of RAM and 4GB of internal storage should put the Nokia X2 up against the mighty Moto E.

 

Just yesterday we got wind that Microsoft is working on the next-generation of Android powered Nokia X smartphones, and now a leak from China has spilled the beans on the hardware. The device will be powered by a quad-core Snapdragon 200 processor, with 1GB of RAM and 4GB of internal storage memory.

 

The increase in RAM should go a long way in curing the X's lethargic performance and run more powerful apps smoothly. The processor on the other hand received a score of 11,827 in the benchmark tests, which according to the report is very respectable for a budget phone.

 

These general specs will put the Nokia X2 up against Motorola's new entry-level heavyweight, the Moto E. However there are a few key issues which the leak doesn't address. While the device will run a forked version of Android, it is yet to be seen if Microsoft dumps Jelly Bean in favour of the more efficient KitKat operating system.

 

Pricing too will play a key factor in the success of the Nokia X2, and like the current device it only makes sense if Microsoft prices the device below its entry-level Lumia phones. While the device may still be a long way away from hitting store shelves, given that the Nokia X was only recently launched, we can't help but think that Microsoft could have a winner on their hands.
