Editorial report
HMD Arc 4 GB / 64 GB / Global technical sheet
The HMD Arc is for buyers looking for a basic Android phone who value a lighter handset; its main trade-off is that several key figures are among the weakest of its time. Overall, it ranks among the weakest phones launched around the same time.
Its IPS LCD display measures 6.52 inches, but the 60 Hz refresh rate and 215 ppi density are among the lowest figures of its time, while 460 nits of brightness is worse than most. The 4 GB of RAM and 64 GB of storage are also among the lowest figures. The Unisoc SC9863A scores 154,110 in AnTuTu v10, among the weakest results of its time. For photos, the 13 MP camera has one of the lowest resolutions; it records video at 1080p. The 5,000 mAh battery has less capacity than most phones of its time, and 10 W charging is among the weakest.
One advantage is its 185.4 g weight, lighter than most phones of its time. It runs Android 14, includes Google Services and has five years of operating system update support; storage is expandable. The HMD Arc earns a NeoScore of 3.7. It suits buyers who want a straightforward Android phone and can accept a modest display, limited storage and slow charging.
