Nokia X71, which was in the news a couple of weeks ago is now in the limelight again, thanks to a Geekbench listing and a hand-sketched picture. HMD Global has scheduled an April 2 launch event in Taiwan where it’ll be unveiling the Penta-camera phone Nokia 9 PureView; Alongside the Nokia 9 PureView, the Nokia X71 also expected to make its debut for the first time. For the unaware, in Taiwan and China, HMD Global launched ‘Nokia X’ series of phone and the same phones will launch in International markets with a different moniker. Right now, the Nokia X71 has two names for global markets- one is the Nokia 6.2 and the other one is the Nokia 8.1 Plus which will be a successor to the Nokia 8.1 that was launch late in 2018.

Nokia X71 Aka Nokia 6.2 Surfaces on Geekbench
Ahead of the purported April 2 launch, the Nokia X71 has paid a visit to Geekbench benchmarking portal. The Nokia X71 will be powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 660 SoC and boasts of up to 6GB of RAM. Going by this listing, we can confirm the Nokia X71 as Nokia 6.2 as the Nokia 6.1 arrived with Snapdragon 630 SoC underneath, while the newly launched Nokia 8.1 has the powerful Snapdragon 710 chipset.
This essentially means the Nokia 8.1 Plus is a different smartphone altogether and it may come powered by the Snapdragon 712 chipset that was launch very recently.
