Introducing the HMD Pulse: Your Entry into Smartphone Innovation
The HMD Pulse lineup is setting a new standard in smartphone accessibility, featuring powerful cameras, essential features, and affordable prices.
HMD has made it official: their inaugural smartphone, the HMD Pulse, has been unveiled. The device is offered in three different variants: Pulse, Pulse+ and Pulse Pro. The primary discrepancies are in their body color and camera specifications. Notably, the Pro version has an impressive 50 MP camera, while the standard version has a 13 MP camera. Under the hood, all models are powered by UNISOC T606 processor, with memory configurations ranging from 4/64GB to 6/128 GB.
Positioned as an entry-level smartphone, the HMD Pulse offers essential features for modern smartphone users. Despite its modest power, it includes functionalities like NFC, Bluetooth 5.0, USB-C connectivity, WiFi 5 for contactless payments, and a microSD card slot that can accommodate cards up to 256GB. Interestingly, the Pro version has an 8 MP selfie camera, while the regular version has an impressive 50 MP selfie shooter – which is a rarity in the market given the gigantey specifications.
