Here is another teaser for our upcoming Nokia X review – benchmark scores! We were able to make some tests shortly after the Nokia X was announced on the MWC in Barcelona, but this time around we can finally run all benchmarks on a retail-ready unit.
The Nokia X is powered by a dual-core 1GHz Cortex-A5 processor coupled with half a gig RAM, which should be barely enough to run a standard Android Jelly Bean version. Luckily Nokia has done some great work optimizing the Android OS and its proprietary launcher, so the final OS is relatively smooth and snappy, with almost no visible lag. The apps from the Nokia Store run great too.
The GPU in charge of graphics is Adreno 203. It is probably the slowest GPU currently in mass production, but it should be enough to handle less demanding games running on WVGA resolution. Unfortunately GFXBenchmark, 3DMark and Epic Citadel are still incompatible with Nokia X, so you’ll have to rely on the all-in-one test scores.
There aren’t many benchmarks available in the Nokia Store, but we managed to sideload a few, so we are able to provide you with comparable scores.
The single-core performance, as usual, we measure with the BenchmarkPi test. The 1.0 GHz Cortex-A5 processor quite expectedly hit the bottom of our charts, twice slower than its Cortex-A9 siblings and 50% behind the Cortex-A7 cores.

308 - Huawei Ascend Mate
347 - Huawei Ascend P6
348 - LG Optimus G
353 - Sony Xperia C
374 - Motorola Moto G
392 - Sony Xperia M
400 - LG Nexus 4
431 - Samsung Galaxy Core LTE
466 - Nokia X

GeekBench 3 tests the multi-core performance and Nokia X occupied the last spot in our all-time chart. However its performance wasn’t too bad considering that all other tested devices are way more expensive than it.

The all-in-one tests AnTuTu and Quadrant gauge the overall hardware performance, including graphics and RAM bandwidth. Nokia X, being the only Cortex-A5 device we’ve put through the newest versions of the apps once again finished last on both tests, but again the gap was a bit lower than we expected.

Finally, we ran SunSpider and BrowserMark web benchmarks on the default Nokia X browser. The Nokia X punched way above its weight here, beating some quite expensive devices in both SunSpider and BrowserMark.
