Reviews for the HMD Pulse Pro
With the HMD Pulse Pro, the makers of Nokia phones are introducing their first phone under their own name. On board are familiar qualities: update promises in the budget segment and good reparability. Is this enough to give the company a strong start in the highly contested budget phone segment?

The HMD Pulse Pro is a well put together phone with an appealing price tag, exemplary repairability, and strong battery life. It also benefits from some of the cleanest software around. Unfortunately, that’s where the good news ends. Performance is woefully sluggish, thanks to the use of a completely inadequate processor, while the display simply isn’t sharp enough at 720p. The camera, meanwhile, struggles to obtain decent results in all but the most ideal scenarios. HMD’s limited software support doesn’t live up to its hardware sustainability talk, either.

In summary, the HMD Pulse Pro has proven to be a quite decent representative of the budget class. It will definitely appeal to those who value smart consumption and prefer repairing things rather than constantly buying new ones. In the Pulse Pro, I liked the bright yet minimalistic design, ‘clean’ Android with guaranteed updates for two more versions, good battery life, the price point, and overall, a fairly decent screen. However, in this price segment, you can find options with not necessarily better cameras, but with more powerful hardware and higher display resolutions. What smartphones could be alternatives to the HMD Pulse Pro? For example, the Samsung Galaxy A05s offers a Snapdragon 680 and an FHD+ screen for almost the same price.

It is a small display format for smartphones. You shouldn't be severely defective in vision, and you won't see much detail on the screen and only have a small resolution available. For that, the device should be small and handy, easy to transport.
