HMD Pulse

The HMD Pulse keeps things straightforward for anyone after a reliable, modern smartphone without flashy distractions. Released in April 2024, this model comes from HMD Global—yes, the Nokia folks—and brings practical essentials in a refreshingly no-nonsense package. Now just a year old, the HMD Pulse stands out for its repairable design and clean Android experience.

If you’re after a fuss-free alternative to big-brand devices, or want a phone that prioritises longevity over hype, this is right up your street. Those needing serious gaming power or top camera tricks should look to mid-range or flagship Androids instead, like the Samsung Galaxy A55 or Google Pixel series, which offer faster processors and more advanced cameras.
