HMD is preparing to launch a smartphone under its own brand in India with the name HMD Arrow. The device will be an entirely new handset with 5G connectivity and specs that are way better than the Pulse phones, said one source.

The Arrow name was confirmed by HMD India on social media X. At first, assumptions were the phone would be a rebranded Pulse with a Pink color, following a partnership with the Rajasthan Royals cricket team.

The Mobile Indian claimed the new phone would offer a “new design” and “upgraded specifications”. The midranger is expected to cost under INR20,000 (equivalent to $235/€220) once it launches in early June.
