The HMD Vibe 2 5G has been launched in India. This is the company's new budget 5G smartphone, starting at just ₹10,999. It's an upgraded version of the HMD Vibe 5G launched last year. The company has specifically focused on a large 6,000mAh battery and a high refresh rate display in this phone.
For photography, the device also features a powerful 50MP main camera. You also get up to 6GB of RAM and storage options. Let's take a look at the phone's other specifications.
HMD Vibe 2 5G Features and Specifications The
HMD Vibe 2 5G features a 6.745-inch LCD display with support for a 120Hz refresh rate. This makes scrolling and the user interface experience feel smoother. However, the phone offers an HD+ (720 x 1600 pixels) resolution, so the display won't be as sharp as a full HD screen.
The phone's biggest highlight is its massive
6,000mAh battery. The company claims it can easily last for one to two days with moderate use. It supports 18W fast charging. However, such a large battery may take a few hours to fully charge. Fortunately, the company also includes an 18W charger, a basic case, and a screen protector in the box.
For performance, the phone is powered by a 6nm-based Unisoc T8200 5G processor. The smartphone comes with 4GB and 6GB of RAM, and 64GB and 128GB of storage options. Storage can be expanded up to 1TB via microSD card.
Security updates will be available for two years.
In terms of software, the phone runs on Android 16 and features Indus AI, which supports 22 Indian languages. The company has promised quarterly security updates for two years, although no details have been provided regarding major Android updates.
