HMD Global, the company known for its Nokia-branded smartphones, is stepping into the spotlight with its own brand, called HMD Pulse.
After years of producing phones under the Nokia name, HMD is ready to make waves with its debut smartphone, which has been making headlines after a flurry of leaks.
Initially slated for a July release, the Pulse might hit the shelves much sooner than anticipated – as early as this week, according to recent reports. GSMArena shared this exciting news when Finnish retailer Gigantti briefly listed the phone with a release date of April 24, sparking speculation.
So, what’s the buzz all about? Let’s dive into the details.
The HMD Pulse boasts a sleek design, measuring 163.19 x 75.02 x 8.55 mm and weighing in at 196g. Notably, it’s IP52 certified for dust and splash resistance, adding a layer of durability to its appeal.
But what about the other specs? Well, the Pulse sports a sizable 6.56-inch IPS LCD screen with HD+ resolution and a smooth 90 Hz refresh rate, promising a visually immersive experience. Under the hood, it packs a punch with the Unisoc T606 SoC, accompanied by 6GB of RAM and 128GB of expandable storage, ensuring seamless performance and ample space for your digital world.
Battery life is always a concern, right? The Pulse comes equipped with a hefty 5000 mAh battery, providing ample juice to keep you going throughout the day. And let’s talk cameras. With a 50 MP main rear camera, a 2 MP depth sensor, and an impressive 50 MP front-facing camera, capturing stunning photos and selfies is a breeze.
What about security? The Pulse has you covered with a side-mounted fingerprint sensor cleverly embedded in the power button, offering quick and secure access to your device.
The leaked listing suggests a price tag of €179 (approximately PHP10,999), making it an attractive option for budget-conscious consumers without compromising on features and performance.
