Following many years under the Nokia brand, HMD Global recently announced that it would begin making smartphones under its own brand. The Pulse, which has been extensively leaked earlier this month, will be one of the first HMD-branded smartphones. Originally, we thought it would land in July, but it looks like it could happen this week.
The phone was listed with specs and pricing by the Finnish retailer Gigantti, which has since taken it down. The listing also included a release date: April 24. The listing was clearly put up too soon by mistake, but it’s unclear whether the release date was accurate or not. However, the specs of the phone were confirmed in the listing.
HMD Pulse Pro:
The new HMD Pulse Pro sports 6.56 inches HD+ IPS LCD punch-hole 90Hz refresh rate display with an aspect ratio of 19.5:9. The HMD Pulse Pro with Unisoc T606 SoC is coupled with 4GB/6GB RAM and 64GB/128GB storage.
The HMD Pulse Pro features a dual camera with a 50MP main sensor. It comes with a secondary 2MP depth sensor with LED flash. It features a 50MP selfie shooter.
The connectivity option includes a USB Type-C port, Wifi, Dual SIM with 4G LTE, VoLTE support, a 3.5mm audio jack, Bluetooth 5.0, NFC, A-GPS, and GLONASS with a side-mounted fingerprint scanner. It packs a 5000 mAh battery with 20W charge support. The HMD Pulse Pro runs on Android 14 OS. Further, the device is also splash-proof thanks to IP52 certification. The device measures 8.55 mm thick and weighs 196g.
HMD Pulse Pro will cost €179 (Rs.16,000/-) for 6GB+128GB.
