HMD Arc²
HMD's Arc² is a modest refresh of the entry-level Arc line, carrying over the same Unisoc SC9863A chipset alongside a 6.52-inch HD+ 60Hz screen, a 5000mAh battery and a 13MP camera. It launched in Thailand at THB 2,290 (about $68) for the base 4/64GB model, with no confirmed wider rollout yet.
Pros
- 5000mAh battery paired with an efficient 28nm chipset for long runtime on a budget device
- 3.5mm headphone jack, a side-mounted fingerprint sensor and Face Unlock, all rare together at this price
- microSDXC expansion plus a 128GB storage option add flexibility beyond the base 4GB RAM/64GB config
- FM radio rounds out a spec sheet with more legacy conveniences than most budget rivals bother to include
Cons
- 576x1280 HD+ panel at only 60Hz and a single 13MP rear camera are basic even for the price
- No 5G or NFC, and charging is capped at 10W wired with no wireless option
- So far launched only in Thailand, with no confirmed US pricing or availability
