HMD Global, the company behind Nokia phones, is reportedly gearing up to launch a successor to its budget-friendly HMD Aura. Details about the upcoming HMD Aura 2 have surfaced online (via @smashx_60 on X), revealing a few key upgrades.
The Aura 2 is expected to feature a slightly larger 6.56-inch LCD display with a faster 90Hz refresh rate compared to its predecessor. In terms of cameras, it will offer a dual-camera setup on the back, consisting of a 13MP primary sensor and a 0.8MP secondary camera. The front-facing camera will also receive a boost, going from 5MP to 8MP.
Under the hood, the Aura 2 will be powered by a more powerful UNISOC T603 processor, paired with 4GB of RAM and either 64GB or 128GB of storage. The phone will also have a microSD card slot for expandable storage, an audio jack, a USB-C port, and OTG support. Additionally, it will offer IP52 dust and water resistance.
One notable change is the shift from a rear-mounted fingerprint scanner to a side-mounted sensor. The Aura 2 will also pack a 5,000mAh battery, ensuring long-lasting usage.
While the launch date, pricing, and availability details remain unknown, the HMD Aura 2 is expected to be slightly more expensive than its predecessor due to the upgraded features.
In other news, HMD Global is rumored to be launching a more premium version of its Vibe model, called the Vibe Pro, possibly debuting in North America. The phone will retain the 6.56-inch display with a 90Hz refresh rate but may upgrade to a 1080p resolution. It will likely feature the same Snapdragon 680 chipset, paired with 8GB of RAM, an improvement from the Vibe’s 6GB.
