Remember those iconic Nokia phones from the 90s? The company behind them, HMD Global (formerly HMD), is making a comeback in India with their very own smartphone! Originally called the Arrow, the phone will have a new name due to legal reasons. While an official launch date hasn’t been announced, rumors suggest an unveiling event on July 25th. Get ready for a blast from the past with a modern twist!
HMD, the company behind those beloved Nokia phones, has been hinting at a new smartphone launch in India. Originally called the Arrow, it’ll have a new name due to legalities. Early rumors suggested it might be a revamped version of their European phone, the Pulse. The Pulse packs a budget-friendly punch with a decent camera, and a long-lasting battery, and runs the latest Android version. However, recent leaks suggest something more exciting. Whispers point to a brand new design, 5G connectivity, better cameras, and a faster processor. This could position HMD as a strong contender in the Indian market, especially if priced competitively under Rs 20,000. That would put it up against popular choices like the CMF Phone 1, Moto G85 5G, Lava Blaze X, and OnePlus Nord CE 4 Lite.
HMD (the Nokia phone folks) had to ditch the “Arrow” name chosen by fans on the now-called X platform. But fear not, contest winners will still get their prizes! HMD is keeping the new name under wraps for now, promising a reveal soon.
With the launch inching closer, excitement is brewing about what HMD’s debut Indian smartphone will pack. While details are scarce, whispers suggest it might borrow some features (or even improve upon them) from the European HMD Pulse. If rumors of 5G and upgraded hardware hold, this phone could be a major player in the mid-range market, potentially rivaling popular options like the CMF Phone 1, Moto G85 5G, Lava Blaze X, and OnePlus Nord CE 4 Lite.
