Nokia is making its comeback in the smartphone scene with the Nokia 6, which famously sold out in just one minute in a flash sale held in China.

The company, now owned by HMD Global, is not banking its return on just one device though, as it is believed that Nokia will be revealing at least one more new Android-powered smartphone at the upcoming Mobile World Congress in February.

One of Nokia's upcoming devices could be the so-called Nokia Heart, which recently surfaced on the benchmarking website GFXBench.

Nokia Heart Benchmark

A benchmark that appeared on GFXBench for a device named the Nokia Heart reveals a smartphone that will be powered by Android 7.0 Nougat out of the box, similar to Nokia 6. Also like the Nokia 6, the Nokia Heart will be powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 430 processor.

However, all similarities between the Nokia 6 and the Nokia Heart end there. Compared to the 5.5-inch display of the Nokia 6 at 1080p, the Nokia Heart will only have a 5.2-inch display at 720p. The Nokia Heart will also only offer 2 GB of RAM with internal storage of 16 GB, compared to the 4 GB of RAM and 64 GB of internal storage offered by the Nokia 6.

The benchmark also reveals the 12 MP rear-facing camera and a 7 MP front-facing camera of the Nokia Heart, though the likely actual specs of the device's cameras are 13 MP for the rear-facing camera and 8 MP for the front-facing camera.

With the Nokia Heart's Adreno 505 GPU, the device was able to gain fairly decent scores in the graphical tests of GFXBench, beating the likes of the Moto Z Play that is powered by the more powerful Qualcomm Snapdragon 625 processor.

The benchmark tests, however, did not reveal other details regarding the Nokia Heart, including the performance of its processor and its battery life.

Cheaper, Less Powerful Version Of The Nokia 6?

While the Nokia Heart could be a different smartphone altogether, it could also be a cheaper and less powerful variant of the Nokia 6. Customers who are looking for an even cheaper device than the Nokia 6, which is priced at about $250 in China, should look forward to the Mobile World Congress if the Nokia Heart will be unveiled at the annual event.

There is the possibility that the Nokia Heart, or whatever its official name will be upon release, will not arrive in the United States. If it does, Nokia might have a hard time selling the device if it would have a price tag of more than $100.

Nokia Smartphones With Qualcomm Snapdragon 835

Nokia is expected to unveil its flagship P1 smartphone at the Mobile World Congress, with the device to be powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 and an expected 6 GB of RAM. The smartphone is also rumored to have a 3,500 mAh battery with Quick Charge technology, along with a fingerprint scanner located at the right side.

A recent report saw Nokia confirm that the Nokia P1, in addition to the Nokia 8, will indeed feature Qualcomm's latest processor, but it might take some time before they are released into the market.
