Last week, the technical specifications and design details of the HMD Crest 2 and Crest 2 Pro models were revealed. A new leak provides clearer information about the pricing and sales schedule of these two models. According to the information revealed, the company is preparing to introduce users with two new models that focus on the price-performance balance. In addition, the regional sales strategies of the devices also seem remarkable. Although no official announcement has been made, the source of the leak offers details that overlap with previous information. This suggests that the information shared may be reliable to a certain extent.
The version of the HMD Crest 2 model with 6 GB RAM and 256 GB storage is expected to be priced at 14,999 rupees (about $131) in India. Despite this, it is stated that the device may remain exclusive to the Indian market only. On the technical features side, the 6.78 inch AMOLED screen stands out. The screen, which is expected to offer FHD + resolution and 90Hz refresh rate, promises a balanced experience for daily use. However, Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 4 Gen 4 5G processor is at the center of the device. The 50 megapixel main camera and the 6,000 mAh battery are among the other prominent elements of the model.
HMD Crest 2 Pro comes with a higher refresh rate
It is stated that the Crest 2 Pro model will be offered at 16,999 rupees (approximately $ 183) with 8 GB RAM and 256 GB storage. On the other hand, the sales period of this model is indicated as the third quarter of the year, that is, between July and September. Despite this, some improvements offered by the device attract attention. The Pro version, which has the same screen size, aims for a smoother usage experience with a 120Hz refresh rate. In addition, while the Snapdragon 4 Gen 4 5G processor is preferred, it is seen that the camera has switched to 64 megapixel resolution. 6,000 mAh battery and 33W fast charging support are common to both models.
It is stated that both devices will come out of the box with the Android 16 operating system. This shows that an updated experience will be offered on the software side. However, HMD’s long-term software support policy is not yet clear. Despite this, the fact that it comes with the latest version of Android is among the factors that increase the competitiveness of the devices.
In addition, it seems that HMD will not be limited to the Crest series only. It is stated that the company is working on the continuation of the HMD Key model, which it introduced in January last year. It is stated that this model, which is expected to come under the name HMD Key 2, will be aimed at the European market. 6.56 inch IPS LCD screen, HD + resolution and 90Hz refresh rate are among the main features of the device. On the other hand, more modest hardware such as Unisoc T310 processor, 4 GB RAM and 64 GB storage capacity are preferred.
In addition, details such as microSD card support and 5,000 mAh battery target users who appeal to the entry segment. Although 10W charging support seems limited, it is considered an acceptable choice considering the price level. The device is expected to be available in the UK for around £60 to £70. Considering all this, it seems that HMD continues its approach of creating a wide range of products in different price segments.
