HMD has officially launched the Arc 2, its latest budget smartphone, in Thailand.
The device succeeds the HMD Arc from 2024, bringing new color choices and a slight processor improvement.
Specifications
The Arc 2 features a 6.52-inch IPS LCD display with HD+ resolution and a 60Hz refresh rate, identical to its predecessor.
It runs on Android 14 Go Edition.
The main upgrade is the processor: HMD replaced the Unisoc SC9863A with the newer Unisoc T603, still an entry-level chip built on a 12nm process clocked at up to 1.8GHz.
The phone comes with 4GB of RAM and storage options of 64GB or 128GB, expandable via microSD card.
The rear camera remains a single 13MP sensor, while the front houses a 5MP shooter in a waterdrop notch.
A 5,000mAh battery powers the device with 10W charging. It retains a USB-C port and a 3.5mm headphone jack.
Pricing and Availability
The HMD Arc 2 is available in Dark Blue and Golden Beige. It launches in Thailand on July 20.
The 4GB+64GB variant is priced at THB 2,290 (approximately $68 or €60), while the 4GB+128GB version costs THB 2,990 (around $89 or €78).
HMD has not announced availability in other markets.
