😂Nokia’s Back, But Will It Blend? HMD Launching Phone in India on 29th April!

HMD’s India Arrival Imminent! Debut Smartphone Name Reveal on April 29th Could Signal Budget-Friendly Disruption

HMD recently introduced its first bunch of self-branded smartphones earlier this week. The company launched the H.M.D Pulse series in select European markets, which included the HMD Pulse, Pulse+, and Pulse Pro. An India launch date for these phones has not yet been confirmed, but HMD has revealed that its self-branded phones will be coming to India. The firm will announce the name of the first H.M.D phone to see an India launch next week.

After its European debut with the Pulse Series, H.M.D, the home of Nokia phones, is ready to conquer the Indian market with self-branded smartphones. The company will unveil its first India-exclusive model’s name on April 29th, a significant step signaling HMD’s renewed focus on this key market.

The Mystery Phone: What Could It Be?

While official details are scarce, strong speculation suggests an adaptation of one of the newly-launched H.M.D Pulse models for Indian consumers. Here’s a closer look at what the existing Pulse Series entails to get a sense of potential features:

HMD Pulse Series: Specs Breakdown

• Pulse: The entry-level contender features an Unisoc T606 SoC, up to 6GB RAM, a 13-megapixel dual rear camera, a generous 5,000mAh battery, and comes priced at EUR 140 (approx. Rs. 12,460)
• Pulse+: This mid-ranger boasts a Unisoc T606 SoC, up to 6GB RAM, an upgraded 50-megapixel dual rear camera setup, retains the 5,000mAh battery, and is priced at EUR 160 (approx. Rs. 14,240)
• Pulse Pro: The top-of-the-line model also packs an Unisoc T606 SoC, 6GB RAM, a 50-megapixel dual rear camera system, an impressive 50-megapixel selfie camera, and a 5,000mAh battery with 20W fast charging support. Priced attractively at EUR 180 (approx. Rs. 16,000)

HMD Vibe: The US-Focused Outlier

While the US market enjoys the budget HMD Vibe, it’s unlikely to debut in India. However, its specs (Qualcomm Snapdragon 680 SoC, 4,000mAh battery, 13-megapixel dual rear camera) showcase HMD’s commitment to affordable devices.

Why India Matters for HMD

India’s vast smartphone market is dominated by budget and mid-range devices. HMD’s potential focus on this segment could make a significant splash. With the legacy of the Nokia brand, combined with competitive pricing and appealing specs, HMD could establish itself as a major player.
