Looks like HMD is back with a bang! After a quiet spell, the brand is gearing up to drop its next smartphone, the HMD Vibe 2, and honestly—it sounds way better than we expected. Some key features just leaked, and they’ve got tech folks (and selfie lovers) buzzing.

A Major Leap from the First Vibe

Remember the original HMD Vibe? Decent phone, but nothing too wild. It had a 6.55-inch screen, 3GB or 6GB RAM and a 4,000mAh battery—just enough for casual users. But now, the Vibe 2 seems to be stepping way up, almost like it’s had a total glow-up.

Powering the Device

According to leaked information, the phone will be powered by a Snapdragon 4 Gen 2 chip with up to 256GB of storage and 8GB of RAM. You might even get 512GB microSD card support which is kind of rare these days. Smooth multitasking? Check. Enough space for all your memes, videos and random screenshots? Absolutely.

OLED Beauty with Smooth Scrolling

Up front, you’re probably looking at a 6.67-inch OLED display with Full HD+ resolution, 90Hz refresh rate and HDR10 support. Translation? Brighter colors, smoother swiping and binge-watching that actually feels premium—without the premium price (hopefully).

Camera That Turns Heads

This is where the interesting part begins. A 50MP front-facing camera may be available on the phone. Yeah, selfies are about to hit different. Rear setup could include a 50MP main sensor with a secondary 2MP macro or depth lens. Not the craziest combo but it gets the job done for Instagram and casual shots.

Battery Life You’ll Actually Rely On

Leaks hint at a 5000mAh battery with 33W fast charging. That’s a solid upgrade from the last model’s 4000mAh/10W combo. Full day use? Likely. Quick top-up before heading out? Even better.

Still Under Wraps: The Big Reveal

There’s no word yet on the official launch, pricing, or which countries get it first. But going by HMD’s usual pattern, we might hear something soon.

If the leaks hold true, the HMD Vibe 2 could be one of the best budget surprises of the year. Just the thought of a 50MP selfie camera and Android 15 on an entry-level phone? That’s wild—in the best way.
