Hopes were high for Nokia’s first Android smartphone, but the Nokia X’s low-end specs were disappointing. Now, specs for a new Android phone called the Nokia X2 have leaked in benchmark results online. It seems that the X2 will also sport low-end specs with very few changes.

The mystery device is listed as the Nokia X2DS (RM-1013) on the AnTuTu benchmarking site along with a spec sheet. According to this leak, The X2 will be powered by a dual-core MSM8x10 processor, clocking in at a lowly 1190MHz. However, earlier reports hinted that the device would receive an upgrade in processing power to a 1.2GHz quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon MSM8210 processor, so perhaps the benchmark got the processor wrong. The new leak also indicates that the X2 will have 1GB RAM, the Adreno 305 GPU, and 4GB of storage onboard.

Just like its predecessor, the X2 is rumored to feature a 480 x 800 pixel resolution display, but this time the display will be 4.3 inches instead of just 4 inches. It will be a dual-SIM smartphone, too. The leaked specs show a 5-megapixel back camera and a 0.3-megapixel front-facing camera, both of which are minor improvements over the Nokia X’s cameras. For those of you who are interested in the actual benchmark result, AnTuTu gave the X2 a score of 11,827.

Another post from German website Mobile Geeks hints that multiple models of the X2 and other Nokia Android phones might be on the way soon, as well. Very few details about any of these handsets are available as of yet, but this flurry of leaks seems to prove that Microsoft hasn’t given up on creating new Android Nokia phones.

Sony’s new Android phone just leaked, and it sounds mighty interesting

Sony has generally struggled to sell smartphones in the North American market alongside bigger players like Samsung and Apple, to the point that it has more or less exited. Sony has always had a strong market in Japan, but even that has been changing recently, with Sony’s market share falling fast against competitors in its home market. That might be set to change with Sony’s next Android phone, the Xperia Pro C.

Android phones may be a lot more expensive in 2025. Here’s why

As if inflation isn’t hitting groceries and the housing market hard enough, your smartphone could also become more expensive in 2025. According to a post on Weibo, the price of the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 -- the chip expected to power most 2025 flagship Android phones -- is about to increase significantly, along with the cost of the SM8750 wafer used in its production.

There’s no hard figure on what “significant” means, but even a jump of 10% or 20% could translate to a higher MSRP when it comes time to buy your next Android flagship phone. That said, this isn’t completely certain since price increases during production don’t always get passed on to the consumer.

AT&T just made it a lot easier to upgrade your phone

Do you want to upgrade your phone more than once a year? What about three times a year? Are you on AT&T? If you answered yes to those questions, then AT&T’s new “Next Up Anytime” early upgrade program is made for you. With this add-on, you’ll be able to upgrade your phone three times a year for just $10 extra every month. It will be available starting July 16.

Currently, AT&T has its “Next Up” add-on, which has been available for the past several years. This program costs $6 extra per month and lets you upgrade by trading in your existing phone after at least half of it is paid off. But the new Next Up Anytime option gives you some more flexibility.
