Editorial report

HMD Aura 2 technical sheet

The HMD Aura 2 suits anyone looking for a basic Android phone who values low weight: at 185.4 g, it weighs less than most phones of its time. Its main drawbacks are the display, performance, camera and battery, all worth weighing when choosing a simple handset.

The 6.52″ IPS LCD display has a 60 Hz refresh rate and 215 ppi density, both among the weakest figures of their time; its 460-nit peak brightness is also lower than most. The Unisoc SC9863A and 4 GB of RAM make for modest hardware: its RAM is below most phones of its time, and its AnTuTu result of 154,110 is among the weakest. Storage is 256 GB and expandable.

The camera's 13 MP resolution is among the lowest of its time. The 5000 mAh battery has less capacity than most phones launched around the same time, and 10 W charging is among the weakest. Connectivity is worse than most, though the Aura 2 includes NFC and dual-SIM support. It also has Android 14, USB Type-C and IP54 resistance. Its overall NeoScore is 3.6, placing it among the weakest phones launched around the same time. This is a basic option for anyone who prioritizes its relatively low weight and 256 GB of storage over its limitations in display, performance, camera and charging.
