A fresh leak outlines what could be HMD's next budget phone: the Vibe 2. Early details promise a big display, a long-lasting battery, and Android 15 — all wrapped in a sensible, low-cost package.
What the leak reveals
A post from tipster HMD_MEME'S on X lists a 6.75-inch IPS LCD with HD+ resolution and a 90Hz refresh rate. The phone is said to run on the Unisoc T7200 (4G) chipset with 4GB of RAM — enough for everyday apps, streaming and light multitasking, but not for demanding gaming.
- Display: 6.75-inch IPS LCD, HD+, 90Hz
- Processor: Unisoc T7200 (4G)
- Memory & Storage: 4GB RAM; 128GB / 256GB options + microSD slot
- Cameras: 50MP main + 0.8MP secondary; 2MP or 5MP front-facing camera
- Battery & Charging: 5000mAh battery, 10W wired charging
- Software: Ships with Android 15
Notable highlights include microSD expansion — a feature becoming scarce in this segment — and the surprising promise of Android 15 out of the box, which could make the Vibe 2 more future-proof on software. The leaked render also shows a waterdrop notch instead of a hole-punch, a subtle step back in front-facing design but paired with a cleaner, more modern rear camera layout.
By comparison, the original HMD Vibe launched in June 2024 with a Snapdragon 680, a 13MP rear camera, a 5MP selfie shooter, a 4,000mAh battery and a smaller display; it was available around ₹8,999 on Flipkart. The Vibe 2 appears to trade raw performance for a larger screen and significantly bigger battery — a familiar strategy for budget-focused models.
There’s no word on price or release timing yet. If the leak proves accurate, the HMD Vibe 2 will likely target buyers who prioritize battery life, expandable storage and the latest Android release over high-end performance.
