Only four months after the launch of the HMD Luma 4G, its successor has already surfaced online with renders and key specifications.
According to reliable tipster smashx_60, the HMD Luma2 comes with a big 6.75-inch HD+ IPS LCD with a smooth 120Hz refresh rate. On the front, there’s an 8MP selfie camera. Around the back, you get a 50MP main sensor plus a secondary lens for everyday photos.
Power comes from the Unisoc T7280 processor (basically a rebranded T620). It’s an octa-core chip with two performance cores and six efficiency ones, paired with 4GB of RAM (which can be virtually expanded) and 128GB or 256GB of UFS 2.1 storage. You can expand it further with a microSD card.
Battery life should be good enough thanks to a hefty 6000mAh cell with 18W wired charging. Other handy features include a 3.5mm headphone jack and Nokia’s OZO Audio technology for better sound. It’ll be available in three colors: Ice Blue, Light Sand, and Midnight Lake.
The Luma2 builds on HMD’s successful partnerships with M-Kopa. M-Kopa’s pay-as-you-go system has helped a lot of people in emerging markets get smartphones by bundling the phone with data, insurance, and other perks.
HMD has been smart about releasing region-specific and carrier-branded phones lately to reach more people. We’re still waiting on full details like exact pricing, full software support, and launch timing, but everything points to an affordable, reliable option coming soon.
For folks in M-Kopa’s main markets, the Luma2 could be a great way to get a smooth 120Hz display and strong battery life without spending a lot. It’ll be interesting to see how this customized version compares to the predecessor and other budget phones once it’s official.
