HMD Global is the group responsible for continuing the legacy of the Nokia brand in recent years. At the beginning of the year, it announced that it would start production own brand smartphones and last month we learned about the progress of the ‘Fusion’ modular model. Now we get the HMD Pulse which was just introduced to the company.

HMD decided to a basic and economy series that he perfectly mastered his work with Nokia to start his journey in this own brand. They will be offered on the market in three versions (standard, Plus and Pro) and excel in easy repair by the user himself.

Multi-touch screens for mounting HMD Pulse 6.65 inches diagonal, a native resolution of 1612 x 720 pixels, a refresh rate of 90 Hz and a maximum brightness of 480 nits. Its chipset is also the same, an octa-core Unisoc T606, with 4 or 8 GB of RAM and 64 or 128 GB of internal storage expandable with microSD cards.

The biggest difference between the versions comes from their camera systems, they achieve a dual 50 MP + 2 MP sensor of the Pro model They support Wi-Fi 5, Bluetooth 5.0, NFC and have support for 4G broadband networks. The specs (without 5G) are really very unexciting.

Perhaps the best thing about these terminals (besides their low price) is theirs repair capacity by the user himself. The manufacturer promises easy replacement of a damaged screen, bent charging port, dead battery or broken back cover.

As has been the case with some Nokias, repairs are carried out in cooperation with iFixit, which provides Practical instructions for repairs and spare parts at very reasonable prices for what some official services cost. We’re not naming names, even though we believe it’s on everyone’s mind. If the screen breaks, it’s almost better to throw the phone away because you’ll be shocked at the cost of the repair.

The HMD Pulse comes with Android 14 pre-installed and will have at least two major Google system updates and three years of security updates. They will be distributed in different color categories, another interesting thing will be the price, because they will be on sale 140/160 and 180 euros respectively for three versions.
