HMD recently initiated the #HMDNameOurSmartphone competition for an upcoming smartphone set to be launched in India. Indian users put forth a variety of names for this forthcoming HMD smartphone.
HMD Arrow Unveiled
After considering various suggestions from Indian users like Indhumanoid, Manbha, Naruto, Brahmos, HMD has decided on the name ‘HMD Arrow’ for the upcoming smartphone in India. This move aligns with the company’s strategy of assigning different names for different regions.
HMD Arrow’s Arrival in India
HMD previously introduced a phone named HMD Pulse in Europe, and the smartphone to be launched in India will mirror the specifications of the HMD Pulse but will be uniquely known as ‘HMD Arrow’ in the Indian market.
The success of this naming approach as a regional strategy or potential confusion among users remains to be seen. Given that the phone is expected to share the same specs as the existing HMD Pulse, here are the anticipated specifications for the upcoming phone in India:
Expected Specifications
The upcoming HMD Arrow is anticipated to match the specifications of the HMD Pulse. The HMD Pulse is positioned as an entry-level device, distinguishing itself with a microSD card slot, a feature not commonly found in many contemporary phones. The HMD Arrow is projected to sport a 6.65-inch 90 Hz IPS panel with a punch-hole notch display.
Under the hood, the phone is likely to be powered by the Unisoc T606 chipset, offering two RAM options: 4GB and 6GB, each paired with 64GB of storage. The camera setup is expected to feature a 13MP primary sensor without OIS. Additionally, the phone is slated to house a 5000 mAh battery with 10W charging support and retain the traditional 3.5mm headphone jack.
