HMD's next mid-range handset, the Pulse 2 Pro, has leaked — and its renders show a camera layout that borrows heavily from Apple's recent iPhone 17 lineup. Leaked specs point to a sharper display and modest internal upgrades, though 5G is still absent.
A camera design that borrows from the top tier
The leaked render blends cues from both the standard iPhone 17 and the Pro models: a dual-camera system sits inside a raised pill-shaped module, and that module is placed within a larger raised squircle. The result is a noticeably taller camera bump than the original Pulse Pro — a clear visual pivot that aims to give HMD a more premium silhouette.
What’s improved: display, chipset and extras
Here are the key details the leak reportedly confirms:
- Display: A 6.7-inch IPS LCD upgraded to FHD+ resolution with a 120Hz refresh rate (up from 6.65", HD+ and 90Hz on the previous model), promising a smoother multimedia experience.
- Chipset: The Unisoc T615 replaces the Pulse Pro’s T606. Some earlier rumors referenced a T7250, which appears to be a rebadged T615. It’s still built on a 12nm node and does not bring 5G.
- Battery: The leak hints at an improved battery but doesn’t specify capacity.
- Durability & audio: A slight IP boost to IP54 (from IP52), plus dual speakers and two microphones for better sound capture and playback.
- Extras: Custom hardware buttons and an NFC coil are listed among the upgrades.
- Colors: Glacier Green, Midnight Black and Twilight Purple were mentioned.
Taken together, the Pulse 2 Pro looks like a pragmatic evolution: a bigger, smoother display and a modest performance bump, wrapped in a camera design that mirrors premium phones. But if you were hoping this model would finally add 5G, the leak suggests that won’t be the case.
The source didn’t include a launch date, so expect more rumors — and perhaps an official announcement from HMD — in the months ahead.
