HMD Vibe 2 Pro First Impressions, Design, Display And Camera Details
HMD’s new 5G phone gets a fresh design and camera setup.
The HMD Vibe 2 Pro is designed to stand out in the crowded smartphone market with a distinctive appearance, a 120Hz display and a large battery. The phone is part of HMD's efforts to establish its identity beyond the Nokia brand, and it combines a noticeably different rear design with hardware aimed at everyday users.
The phone is offered in Silver Mist, Aqua Green and Cosmic Purple, with each variant featuring a dual-finish rear panel. The lower section has a shimmering texture that becomes more noticeable when light falls on it at an angle. Another distinctive element is the rectangular camera module, where the two main camera cutouts are positioned diagonally instead of being arranged vertically. The LED flash sits in the third position, while the 64-megapixel camera branding is placed towards the upper-right.
The Vibe 2 Pro has a 6.78-inch Full-HD+ display with a 120Hz refresh rate. The higher resolution is notable in a segment where HD+ panels are commonly used to keep costs down. The display has relatively slim bezels, although the bottom chin is thicker. The phone has a flat frame with rounded corners on the rear, while the fingerprint sensor is built into the power button and sits below the volume controls.

HMD has also included Indus by Sarvam AI, which provides smart assistance in more than 22 Indian languages, along with a pre-installed Sanchar Saathi app.
For photography, the Vibe 2 Pro features a 64-megapixel Sony IMX682 primary rear camera alongside a 2-megapixel micro camera. A 13-megapixel camera is provided on the front for selfies and video calls. The phone is powered by a 6,000mAh battery with support for 33W charging and also features dual speakers, dual microphones, dual-SIM support, Bluetooth 5.2 and Wi-Fi connectivity.
Priced from Rs. 15,999 for the 6GB RAM and 128GB storage variant, the HMD Vibe 2 Pro offers a combination of distinctive styling and specifications aimed at the mid-range segment. Its design, display and battery are among the notable aspects at first glance, while performance, camera quality, battery endurance and overall value will require longer-term testing. A detailed assessment of these areas will determine how the phone compares with competing devices in its price segment.
