HMD recently unveiled the Crest and Crest Max smartphones in India, and it's also developing other devices like the HMD Barbie phone. Additionally, tipster @smashx_60 on X (formerly Twitter) has shared some insights about another upcoming smartphone called the HMD Hyper.
Similar to the Nokia Lumia-inspired HMD Skyline, which launched last month, the HMD Hyper features a flat display with large bezels and curved sides. The screen is expected to use an OLED panel, offering FHD+ resolution and a 120Hz refresh rate. It will be powered by a Snapdragon 6 Gen 1 processor, coupled with 8GB RAM and 256GB storage. The device will also include a MicroSD card slot for expandable storage.
Camera and Battery Specifications
In terms of camera capabilities, the HMD Hyper is rumored to sport a 50 MP primary camera with optical image stabilization, along with a 13 MP and an 8 MP camera. The front-facing camera is said to be a 50 MP shooter capable of FHD video recording at 60FPS. The primary camera will support up to 4K video recording at 30FPS. The device is also expected to come with a 4,700mAh battery that supports 33W fast charging.
Comparison with HMD Skyline
Based on these specs, the HMD Hyper appears to be a slightly toned-down version of the HMD Skyline, which boasts a 144Hz OLED display, a 108MP primary camera, and a 50MP telephoto lens. The HMD Skyline also comes with a more powerful Snapdragon 7s Gen 2 SoC. The release date for the HMD Hyper has not yet been disclosed.
