Editorial report

HMD Pulse Pro technical sheet

The HMD Pulse Pro suits buyers looking for an Android phone with a large display, expandable storage, and a removable battery; its main trade-offs are the camera and performance. The configuration shown pairs 6 GB of RAM with 128 GB of storage, and the phone is also sold with 8 GB / 256 GB. Its 6.65-inch IPS LCD display offers 90 Hz, but its 265 ppi density, 600-nit brightness, and refresh rate are below those of most phones of its time. Resolution is 720 × 1612 px.

The 13 MP rear camera is among the lowest-resolution of its time. It has no optical image stabilization or optical zoom, while the front camera is 50 MP. Its AnTuTu result of 223,000 is among the weakest of its time. The processor is a Unisoc T606, and storage uses eMMC 5.1 alongside this version’s 6 GB of RAM. The removable 5,000 mAh battery supports 20 W charging. Other practical features include expandable storage, a 3.5 mm audio jack, NFC, dual SIM, and five years of operating system update support.

Android 14 and IP52 resistance round out a straightforward feature set. Its overall NeoScore is 3.9, placing it among the weakest phones launched around the same time. It makes sense for buyers who prioritize a replaceable battery, expandable storage, and everyday features over camera capability and processing power.
