The device made its first appearance in GFXbench for some tests, and that’s how we learned that it runs on Android 7.0 Nougat, just like the Nokia 6 that was released this month in China.

Nokia Heart is powered by an octa-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 430 SoC, it packs a 5.2-inch 720p display, while offering 2 GB of RAM and 16 GB of internal memory. The device has a main camera with 12MP resolution and a 7MP selfie camera in the front.

According to HMD Global we’re going to see the device (Nokia Heart is its codename) during this year’s MWC in Barcelona, so we just have to be patient, don’t we?

  Well if this is running stock Android I’d likely prefer it, I dont need a ton of bloatware and Chinese apps.

    If you buy a legit Xiaomi phone there is very little bloatware on it, there are Xiaomi’s apps which are similar to a stock Android phone that comes with all Google’s apps. Most of the bloatware that you read about Xiaomi phones come from Vendors adding it on.

720P display and 2gb of RAM! We should party like it’s 2013.

3gb ram and 32gb storage, and I’d be interested. i could live with the processor, but can’t do 9gb storage. 720P on 5.2″ screen is fine by me. if this was $100, I might still be interested. but I doubt that will be the case based on the Nokia 6 pricing.

«It looks like Nokia is back for good, don’t you think?»
I think there is nothing good in a “back” like this. Pathetic outlook, overpriced phones compared to other models on the market. No soul of original NOKIA. It’s just a regular Chinese ODM with the logo on it. It’s like Lenovo Motorola, better be dead than be shit like this. Hype on the returning brand will fall in a couple of months with a budget nothingness. Really miss the original Suomi/Finland company, that experimented with the forms, textures and been top on the market for many years. Before scumbag iPhone came in and changed the game, now market is represented with many ugly one looking OEM phones coping each other #ufckyoustephenelop
