HMD Global is hosting a launch event in London on March 19, 2020. The company’s Chief Product Officer, Juho Sarvikas, revealed the date a little while ago on Twitter. Though he did not explicitly mention the products that we would see getting launched at the said launch event, word has it that the company would launch the Nokia 8.2 5G, Nokia 5.2, Nokia 1.3, and a brand new Nokia C2 (the company is making a return to the Nokia C-series of smartphones, which was last seen back in 2010). Out of these, we would focus on the Nokia 5.2 for now as the same has today been spotted running on the Geekbench database. The Geekbench listing for the Nokia 5.2 reveals some of its key specifications.
As seen in the Geekbench database website, the Nokia 5.2 scored 313 in the single-core test and 1,419 in the multi-core test. Furthermore, the Geekbench listing confirms that the Nokia 5.2 will run on Android 10 OS out of the box. Under the hood, the device will be powered by a 1.80GHz octa-core chipset, which will be paired with 3GB of RAM.
Nokia 5.2 is Codenamed ‘Captain America’
It is already known that the upcoming Nokia 5.2 is going to be dubbed Captain America, probably because of the shield-like camera setup at the back. The device is tipped to feature a rear-mounted fingerprint scanner, a waterdrop notch display, and a quad rear camera setup. The device is rumoured to be priced somewhere around $180.
