In a break from Nokia, HMD Global unveiled their line of smartphones. The three models of the brand’s first Pulse series—Pulse, Pulse Plus, and Pulse Pro—are new from the Finnish smartphone manufacturer. According to HMD, every product in the Pulse series is designed with repairability in mind. Without requiring an engineering degree, HMD announced that owners of Pulse devices will be able to replace a broken display, bent charging connector, or low battery with ease because to their collaboration with third-party repair site iFixit.
HMD Pulse series: Availability
In the upcoming months, Europe will have access to HMD Global’s Pulse series devices. HMD intends to introduce its devices under the Vibe brand in the US market. Following their initial launch phase, all three smartphones are anticipated to make their debut in the Indian market.

The Unisoc T606 chipset powers all three of the series’ smartphones, which have 6.65-inch HD+ screens with a refresh rate of 90Hz.
