[UPDATE] HMD Global’s Chief Marketing Officer Lars Silberbauer has confirmed that there was a mistake with the final render of the device, leading to the misunderstanding. It has since been corrected on HMD’s official website.

The original story continues…..

HMD Global, the company that holds the license over Nokia smartphones has recently launched its first series of smartphones using its own name. These devices are called the HMD Pulse, HMD Pulse+, and HMD Pulse Pro. All three are budget-friendly devices that come with “Gen 1 repairability” allowing users to swap components like batteries and screens.

Lars expressed regret, stating that the company did not intend to misrepresent the device, and assured that the website now accurately displays the smartphones.
