HMD Global is preparing to launch three smartphones under its Pulse 2 lineup, according to leaks from smashx_60. Ahead of the launch, the leaker has shared details of the three models in the series, namely the HMD Pulse 2, Pulse 2+ and Pulse 2 Pro.

A recent Geekbench listing confirmed that all three phones across the lineup will use the same processor, which is the Unisoc Tiger T7250. It is a 12nm chip with two Cortex-A75 cores at 1.82GHz and six Cortex-A55 cores at 1.61GHz.

The Pulse 2 Pro features the most significant upgrades. Its redesigned rear camera module resembles the iPhone 17 Pro’s wider layout. The phone will launch in green, purple, and black. Camera specifications include a 50MP front sensor, a 50MP main rear camera, and a new 8MP ultrawide lens. The 6.72-inch IPS display offers 1080p+ resolution at 90Hz. RAM options include 6GB and 8GB, paired with 128GB or 256GB storage. Additional features include a 5,000mAh battery with 20W USB-C charging, side-mounted fingerprint sensor, NFC, 3.5mm headphone jack, and IP52 rating.

The Pulse 2+ drops to a 6.7-inch 720p+ display but increases the refresh rate to 120Hz. Its camera system includes a 13MP selfie shooter and a 50MP main camera without ultrawide support. Battery capacity and processor remain unchanged.

The base Pulse 2 shares the same processor and battery but features a 6.7-inch 720p+ display at 90Hz. Camera hardware consists of a 50MP main sensor, 2MP secondary lens, and 8MP front camera.

The Geekbench listing showed 4GB RAM running Android 15, though previous models offered up to 8GB. Whether all variants will support higher RAM configurations remains unclear, particularly as memory prices rise. HMD has not announced launch dates or confirmed pricing.

The post HMD Pulse 2 Pro Specs Revealed: iPhone-Style Design, 50MP Triple Cameras Confirmed appeared first on Gizmochina.

HMD Global will unveil three new smartphones on August 20, with a feature aimed at helping users cut down on screen time. The upcoming models, expected to succeed the Pulse 2 series, will include a Digital Detox mode that limits app usage and reduces distractions.

The Digital Detox feature was first seen in the HMD Skyline series and can be activated from a home-screen widget, letting users set limits on how often certain apps can be opened.

The Pulse 2 series runs on the Unisoc T610 and features HD+ LCD displays across all models. The Pulse 2 and 2+ models feature 90Hz refresh rates, while the Pro version steps up to 120Hz. Camera hardware includes a 50MP main sensor (with a basic 0.8MP auxiliary lens) and 8MP front camera on the regular models, with the Pro offering a 50MP + 2MP rear setup and a 50MP selfie camera.

The phones keep the flat-frame design from the first Pulse series. Pricing is expected to stay in the same range, with the original Pulse starting at around $150 and the Pulse Pro (8GB+256GB) currently retailing for $179 on Amazon US. All models are expected to ship with Android 15 and an IP54 rating for splash resistance.

Focus on mindful use

HMD has been leaning into features that promote healthier phone habits, and this release continues that trend at the budget level. More details, including full pricing and availability, will be confirmed at tomorrow’s launch.

The post HMD Pulse 2 series launching today appeared first on Gizmochina.

HMD seems to be expanding its lineup with three new phones under the Pulse 2 name: the Pulse 2, Pulse 2 Plus, and Pulse 2 Pro. According to a new leak, the trio will ship with Android 15 out of the box and target the budget segment, featuring modest hardware, Unisoc chipsets, and up to 50MP cameras.

Let’s start with the base model. The HMD Pulse 2 reportedly features a 6.67-inch HD+ IPS LCD display with a 90Hz refresh rate. 

Powering the phone could be a Unisoc T7200 chip paired with 4GB of RAM and 64GB or 128GB of storage. The camera setup is said to include a 13MP main sensor paired with a depth sensor on the back, and an 8MP selfie camera.

The Pulse 2 Plus will retain the same display and Unisoc T7200 chip, but upgrade the main rear camera to 50MP, which should enhance detail in photos (assuming the sensor and software perform well). Memory options expand to 6GB, and storage remains the same: 64GB or 128GB.

Pulse 2 Pro might come with better cameras, but still an LCD panel

At the top of the line is the HMD Pulse 2 Pro, which gets a few more meaningful upgrades. It swaps in a 6.7-inch HD+ IPS LCD with a smoother 120Hz refresh rate and is powered by the newer Unisoc T7250 SoC. 

The rear camera setup adds a macro sensor alongside the 50MP main shooter and a depth sensor, while the front gets an unexpected 50MP camera. You also get more RAM (6GB or 8GB), up to 256GB of storage, and 20W fast charging support.

As mentioned earlier, all three phones will ship with Android 15. No word yet on pricing or release dates, but if the specs hold up, HMD might have a few compelling low-cost Android options on the way.
