The Nokia HMD Arc is a recent budget smartphone aimed at users who don't need high-end features. So far, there’s no information on when it will be released or how much it will cost. It is still uncertain if the Arc will be available in Europe, but that is a possibility. Looking at its specifications, the Nokia HMD Arc ranks among the more basic smartphones launched in 2024. The device features a 6.52-inch screen with a resolution of 1,280 x 576 and a typical refresh rate of 60Hz (which means it doesn't support higher refresh rates). According to the manufacturer, the display can reach a peak brightness of 460 cd/m².
Performance and Specs
Under the hood, the phone runs on an eight-core Unisoc SC9863A chipset. However, the cores utilized are simply Cortex-A55s, organized into two groups with maximum clock speeds of 1.6 GHz and 1.2 GHz, respectively. This particular SoC has appeared before in the Blackview A52 we reviewed. The device provides a modest amount of RAM and storage, with 4 GB and 64 GB, respectively. Fortunately, users can increase the storage via a microSD card. The camera setup includes a 13MP primary lens and a 5MP secondary camera.
Features and Software
The device includes a built-in fingerprint sensor for easy unlocking. Given its basic specifications, it makes sense that HMD chose to run the Go edition of Android 14 on this device. The company has also committed to offering two years of security updates to keep the device more secure.
