New HMD Pulse Smartphone: Rumored Specs, Colors, and Imminent Launch Revealed

HMD Global, the Finnish smartphone manufacturer behind Nokia-branded devices, is reportedly releasing a new phone called HMD Pulse. According to multiple sources, the device will be available in three colors: Blue, Black, and Pink. The HMD Pulse is rumored to have a 6.56-inch IPS LCD panel with HD+ resolution and will be powered by the Unisoc T606 chipset.

The first source, GSMArena, reports that the HMD Pulse will also feature a 13MP primary camera on the back with AI capabilities. Additionally, it is expected to run on Android 14 out of the box and come with a 5,000mAh battery.

Another source, Gizmochina, reveals that HMD Pulse will have a punch-hole display and may be part of a trio of new devices from HMD. The report also mentions that the launch is imminent.

MySmartPrice in collaboration with OnLeaks has leaked high-resolution renders of the device, giving us a better look at its design. The renders showcase thin uniform bezels and a hole-punch display. The back panel appears to have a plain finish with HMD branding.

The exact specifications and pricing details are not yet available, but we will keep you updated as more information emerges.

  • Deception (70%)
    The article contains selective reporting as the author only mentions the similarities between HMD's new phone and Nokia's design without mentioning any differences or unique features of the new phone. The author also uses emotional manipulation by expressing disappointment that the new phone looks familiar and doesn't stray much from Nokia's products.
    • Although we’d love to be excited about this new and upcoming phone from HMD, from what we are seeing so far, it looks all too familiar,
    • From what we are seeing so far, it looks all too familiar, and doesn’t stray much from the products it produced under Nokia.
  • Fallacies (95%)
    The author expresses their opinion that the design of HMD's upcoming phone looks familiar and doesn't stray much from Nokia's products. This is an example of a Dichotomous Depiction fallacy as the author is presenting two extremes (exciting new design vs. tired design) without acknowledging any nuance or shades of gray in between.

  • Fallacies (80%)
    The author expresses disappointment towards HMD's upcoming phone designs based on leaked renders, which he believed would be a departure from the generic designs of other budget brands. However, the author makes an incorrect assumption that HMD promised 'beautiful' phones at MWC 2024 when they only mentioned 'affordable, beautiful, desirable'. This is an example of an appeal to emotion and a false dichotomy fallacy as the author assumes that affordability and beauty are mutually exclusive. The author also makes comparisons to other budget brands without providing any evidence that HMD's designs will be worse than theirs.
    • ]The only element of boldness here is the color options.[
    • But then, HMD promised us ‘affordable, beautiful, desirable’ phones barely a few weeks ago.
  • Bias (95%)
    The author expresses disappointment with HMD's upcoming phone designs being bland and uninspiring compared to their earlier teaser images. They also mention that the phones look like budget phones from other brands and have a generic design. The author also compares the designs unfavorably to those of competitors in the market.
    • It was a terrific opportunity for HMD to at least revisit the iconic looks of the Lumia phones, which it brazenly teased in its marketing materials in February. But that seems to be a fading pipe dream, which is disappointing to see and won’t do much good for HMD.
      • The camera island is your usual rectangular shape with rounded corners and two large rings around the lenses. This design is so generic that without the HMD logo on the rear shell, it would be impossible to identify the phones.
