HMD Global is about to launch the HMD Aura 2 model with a larger screen, impressive performance and a cheap price.
HMD Global, the company behind the Nokia phone brand, is reportedly preparing to launch a successor to the budget HMD Aura. Information about the upcoming HMD Aura 2 has surfaced online through a post by tech leaker @smashx_60 on social network X, revealing some important upgrades, according to Gizmochina.
The Aura 2 is expected to feature a slightly larger 6.56-inch LCD display and a faster 90Hz refresh rate than its predecessor. In terms of cameras, the device will feature a dual-camera system on the back, consisting of a 13MP primary sensor and a 0.8MP secondary camera. The front camera has also been upgraded from 5MP to 8MP.
Inside, the Aura 2 will be equipped with a more powerful UNISOC T603 processor, combined with 4GB of RAM and optional 64GB or 128GB of internal memory. The phone will also have a microSD card slot for memory expansion, audio port, USB-C port and OTG support. In addition, the device is also dust and water resistant to IP52 standards.
One notable change is the move of the fingerprint sensor from the back to the side. The Aura 2 will also be equipped with a 5000mAh battery, ensuring long-lasting use.
Currently, information about the product's launch date, price and availability has not been revealed. However, the Aura 2 is expected to be priced slightly higher than its predecessor due to its upgraded features.
HMD may be working on a new phone with a design reminiscent of the Nokia Lumia 1020 camera phone.
HMD is expected to launch a series of smartphones. Previously, the company revealed the HMD Skyline model with a nostalgic Lumia design language. According to Gizchina, some recent leaks suggest that HMD may be developing a new phone with a design similar to the Nokia Lumia 1020.
HMD's recently launched product, Skyline, is designed as a mid-range smartphone, with a design that is reminiscent of the famous Nokia Lumia phones of the past.
However, the company could still gain more market share by launching specialized devices. For example, a phone with a strong focus on the camera.
HMD is reviving iconic Nokia phones with its new branding, so it's likely to bring a phone with a similar design to the Lumia 1020, a phone famous for its camera.
According to the latest information from HMD News, the company is developing a new phone model. The render image in the post shows the device with a circular camera cutout, distinguishing it from the boxy camera housing similar to the HMD Skyline.
