HMD has finally announced the Nokia 2, the latest budget Nokia smartphone to hit the shelves with standard specs and even more standard prices The upcoming budget device was announced to be launched into the masses in mid-November this year.

Going by the code Nokia TA-1035 on AnTuTu, the Nokia 2 is reported to sport the entry-level Qualcomm Snapdragon 212 with Adreno 304 running the GPU, complemented with 1GB RAM and 8GB of ROM. Up in front there is a 1280 x 720p display with an 8MP main camera and a 5MP front camera.

The Nokia 2 was briefly spotted on a B&H retail listing which has been since taken down but not before netizens could take a peek at what’s behind the counter. The listing not only provided a list of some device specs but also the possible official US price of 99USD which is the equivalent of our Malaysian RM420.

Pictures of what could be the Nokia 2 smartphone have appeared on the Nokibar Twitter next to the Nokia 3. Rumoured to come with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 212 processor and 1GB of RAM, it looks like it will have a 5-inch display like the Nokia 3 but probably at a lower than 720p HD or 840 x 480 pixel resolution. While the most popular Nokia Lumia phone ever was the Lumia 520, the real deal breaker for this Nokia 2 will likely be the storage.
