Two of Nokia's unannounced Android-powered phones have been spotted at Geekbench listing, revealing some of their hardware features. However, the specification leaks are at an early phase and the final product might not pack the same features.

Nokia RM-1490, as its name suggests, follows the naming convention of earlier Nokia and later Lumia phones. This hints Nokia could be using RM-xxxx naming for its upcoming handsets. The phone uses an AMD A8-5545 processor running at a clock speed up to 500MHz. It has a 2GB RAM. The RM-1490 got 972 points in single-core performance and 1669 points in multi-core.
