HMD Pulse Pro
HMD's Pulse Pro is the top model in the Pulse family, pairing a 6.56-inch 90Hz HD+ LCD and Unisoc T606 chipset with 6GB RAM, 128GB storage, 50MP front and rear cameras and a 5000mAh battery with 20W charging. It launched in Europe at €179.99 (about $190) with home-repairable parts and no official US price.
Pros
- HMD says the display, charging port, back cover and battery can be replaced at home, with spare parts and guides sold through iFixit
- 5000mAh battery with 20W wired charging; HMD's own mixed-use test claims up to 59 hours per charge
- NFC, a 3.5mm headphone jack and microSD expansion up to 256GB are all included at about €180
- Two OS upgrades and three years of quarterly security updates are promised, which review testing called uncommon in this price range
- No PWM flicker was detected and the IPS panel peaked near 500 nits in review measurements
Cons
- The Unisoc T606 is slow: roughly 376 single-core and 1,324 multi-core in Geekbench 6, with stutter reported in everyday use
- Modest display and cameras: 1612x720 resolution, slow pixel response, a 2MP depth sensor beside the 50MP main camera, 1080p/30fps video and washed-out selfies in review testing
- No 5G, a single mono speaker and no charger in the box
