HMD's expanding its Vibe2 lineup in India, and the new Pro variant is coming sooner than you'd think. The company just confirmed that the HMD Vibe2 Pro will launch on September 29, bringing a solid mid-range package to the increasingly crowded Indian smartphone market. After the regular Vibe2 arrived back in May, this Pro model looks like HMD's bet on keeping things straightforward without unnecessary frills.
Battery life gets real with a 6000mAh cell that supports 33W wired fast charging, so you're looking at decent longevity without the wireless charging tax that'd bump up the price. Even better, HMD's thrown in a 3.5mm headphone jack, which honestly feels rare enough these days to mention. The phone runs Android 16 out of the box and includes Indus AI that understands 22 Indian languages, making it genuinely useful for users across the country.
Under the hood, you're getting the MediaTek Dimensity 6400 chipset paired with up to 8GB of RAM and 128GB of storage, which should handle everyday tasks without breaking a sweat. Camera-wise, the setup's competent if not spectacular: a 64MP Sony IMX682 main sensor with a 2MP macro lens on the back, plus a 13MP selfie camera that'll do the job for video calls and casual photography.
The Vibe2 Pro will arrive in three color options, though HMD hasn't spilled those details yet. With the September 29 launch just days away, we should see pricing and availability details drop any time now. For budget-conscious buyers in India who value battery endurance and practical features over cutting-edge specs, this could be worth the wait.
