HMD Global might be planning a slightly more premium version of its budget-friendly Vibe model released earlier this year. According to reliable leaker @smashx_60, the company is currently preparing to launch HMD Vibe Pro and it might first land in North America.
While the overall design and display size will likely remain unchanged at 6.56 inches with a 90Hz refresh rate, the Vibe Pro might have slightly offered 1080p resolution, up from HD+ on the vanilla model.
Unfortunately, the Vibe Pro is said to retain the same Snapdragon 680 chipset that powers the regular Vibe. It will be paired with 8GB of RAM. HMD Vibe is available in only 6GB configuration, so we can call it an upgrade.
There could be a noticeable difference in the battery life, though. The Pro variant is rumored to sport a larger 5,000mAh battery whereas, the vanilla model has a 4,000mAh battery.
A notable upgrade for the Vibe Pro seems to be in the camera department. @smashx_60 suggests the phone will ditch the standard Vibe’s camera setup and opt for a higher-resolution main rear camera.
The leak claims a 50MP primary sensor paired which will still be paired with a secondary 2MP sensor. Additionally, the Vibe Pro is expected to boast a 50MP front-facing camera, up from 5MP on the non-Pro model.
It is important to note that this information is based on leaks and hasn’t been officially confirmed by HMD Global. The exact release date and availability of the Vibe Pro in North America remain unknown.
However, the tipster suggests the device will have a price lower than $180. So it is a fairly standard affair, as you can guess. We will keep you updated on the details of the smartphone if anything new comes to the surface.
