The grandfather of all phones, Nokia 1100 is back in the news after a long time. A Geekbench result reveals a device named Nokia 1100. The benchmark listed a Quadcore chipset with Android Lollipop 5.0 as the operating system under the test results.
The prospect of Nokia producing an Android phone with the legendary name Nokia 1100 is quite low but if at all the rumours materialise, it will excite a lot of Nokia fanboys who miss the legendary handset.
The spec-sheet of the leaked benchmark test report shows a multi-core score of 664 and a single-core score of 347. It is allegedly powered by a quad-core MT6582 clocked at 1.3GHz. The screen size has not been mentioned but it carries a resolution of 720x1280.
The Nokia handset was wildly popular due to its sturdiness, it has been used as a benchmark of strength. A lot of YouTubers have demonstrated the strength of the handset while comparing it to current generation devices. If Nokia plans to re-enter the smartphone market, there is no better way than using the name 'Nokia 1100' to ensure a flashy come-back.
This can be a hoax as there have been reports of model numbers being deliberately changed. The astounding success of Nokia N1 tablet has definitely paved way for the company's come-back and with a brand name so strong even a mid-tier phone by Nokia can create ripples in the smartphone industry
