Coming to the design and look of the phone, HMD seems to be sticking with a modern and minimal aesthetic. On the front, users can expect a 6.67-inch OLED display with Full HD+ resolution, a 90Hz refresh rate, and HDR10 support. That’s a big leap forward from the original Vibe’s 6.55-inch 720p LCD panel and the upgrade should offer sharper visuals and much smoother scrolling.

For the camera, the HMD Vibe 2 is rumoured to feature a 50 MP front-facing shooter which is a massive leap over the basic 5MP selfie cam on the original. This upgrade should give entry-level users a solid taste of high-resolution selfies. On the rear, HMD is sticking with a dual-camera setup, featuring a 50MP primary sensor and a secondary 2MP lens, likely for depth sensing or macro photography.

The HMD Vibe 2 also gets a solid upgrade in the battery department, packing a 5,000mAh cell with support for 33W wired charging. That’s a noticeable step up from the original Vibe’s 4,000mAh battery and sluggish 10W charging speeds.

HMD Vibe 2 Expected Launch and Pricing

While pricing and release details are still under wraps, the upgrades suggest HMD is aiming to deliver a well-rounded entry-level phone. This also means we might see a slight bump in pricing. With leaks revealing key details, an official announcement from the company could be just around the corner.
