The brand behind mobile phone powerhouse Nokia recently introduced its own phones: HMD Pulse, HMD Pulse+ and HMD Pulse Pro, marking a new phase for the manufacturer. making devices as repairable as possible. This is exactly the mantra of the new family, and at the same time, the focus is on models that are very affordable.
The latest HMD Nokias were already committed to increasing the repairability index to achieve the most responsible models possible. There was the Nokia G22, a smartphone that was inconspicuous in terms of features, but allowed to be disassembled in less than three minutes. Will the new HMD Pulse live up to this proposition? At least in terms of hardware content, it definitely is.

Highly contained hardware with special emphasis on self-repairability
After reviewing the three new phones, it’s clear that HMD has decided to cut back on features as much as possible, even on the higher versions: It’s shocking to us that a “Pro” phone has a Unisoc processor. And he said the SoC was present in both brothers, There are no exaggerated differences among the family.
LCD panel with HD+ resolution and 6.65-inch size, up to 90 Hz refresh rate and a hidden brightness that achieves better ranges on HMD Pulse+ and HMD Pulse Pro 4 GB RAM, 64 GB storage at the base Cheapest. The mode offered by the brand Software RAM expansion and micro SD card storage. All three have a 3.5mm connector, which is welcome.
In terms of cameras, the HMD Pulse does its best, at least when it comes to pure and simple numbers: 13 megapixels on the back at the base, with an extra camera on top that goes up to 50 megapixels. On the front, the regular HMD Pulse and Plus retain the 8-megapixel resolution; with 50 megapixels for HMD ProThis is one of the few details that make the superior model stand out.
5,000 mAh battery with 10 W charging and without charger in the box (20 W charging in Pro), two years of major Android updates (They will reach Android 16), three years of quarterly security updates, a single external speaker, a single microphone with Nokia OZO audio recording, and maximum ease of repairing the phone with Nokia’s own tools and parts.
