Nokia’s parent company, HMD, recently launched three new self-branded entry-level smartphones with focus on repairability – the Pulse, Pulse+, and Pulse Pro. With the Pulse series, you will get UNISOC T606 processors. In a new GeekBench listing, the company reveals they are also working on a more powerful model.
The HMD codenamed ‘Tomcat’ phone scored 965 on single-core Geekbench and 2625 on multi-core Geekbench. According to the listing, it is an octa-core processor with a cluster of 4+4. There is a base frequency of 1.96GHz and 2.4GHz for the two clusters.
The listing does not mention the name of the chipset, but the above-mentioned parameters are consistent with the Snapdragon 7s Gen 2. Both the single-core and multi-core scores are similar to the alleged chipset. The Snapdragon 7s Gen 2 features 4 Cortex-A78 cores and 4 Cortex-A55 cores. It is equipped with the Adreno 710 GPU for graphics.
Despite not being a high-end chipset, the Snapdragon 7s Gen 2 is still considerably powerful compared to chips like the UNISOC T606 or Snapdragon 680. It could be positioned as a mid-to-high-end device as the Nokia 8.3, powered by the Snapdragon 765G 5G chip from 2020.
