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.

Does the Nothing Phone 2 have a headphone jack?

The Nothing Phone 2 is finally here, and since it's getting a full U.S. release at launch, the smartphone is poised to be the biggest hardware launch yet for the growing tech company. Because of how cryptic Nothing tends to be with its marketing, there have been a lot of questions making the internet rounds over the past few months as the Nothing Phone 2 was teased — but now we have all of the answers.

In the current age of smartphones, headphones jacks are never a guarantee ever since the biggest manufacturers like Apple, Samsung, and Google ditched them for their flagship devices in favor of wireless listening options. While many of the biggest phones in the world don't sport headphone jacks, some select devices still do — which causes many prospective Nothing Phone 2 buyers to wonder if the new smartphone will have a 3.5mm headphone jack for easy, wired listening. Here's what you need to know.

Is the Nothing Phone 2 available in the U.S.?

Nothing has been growing in popularity ever since the launch of the Nothing Phone 1 last year, and now that the company is launching its second flagship smartphone — the Nothing Phone 2 — more people than ever before are itching to get their hands on a Nothing smartphone. While there was plenty to like about the Phone 1, the fact that it wasn't available in the U.S. at launch made it difficult to get the widespread attention that it deserved.

Now that the Nothing Phone 2 is here, however, U.S. fans are wondering if they're finally going to get their hands on it at launch or if it'll be regionally exclusive like its predecessor. The Nothing Phone 1 eventually made its way stateside, but it was far from a full-on launch and happened six months after the smartphone debuted for the rest of the world, so fans of the company are hoping that won't be the case with its successor.
