HMD has expanded its Vibe smartphone range in India with the new HMD Vibe 2 Pro 5G. The phone is aimed at buyers who want 5G connectivity, a large battery and a better camera without moving into the premium price segment.

The main highlights include a 64-megapixel AI camera, a 6,000mAh battery and a MediaTek Dimensity processor. HMD is also adding software features designed for Indian users, including support for multiple local languages.

HMD Vibe 2 Pro 5G display and design

The HMD Vibe 2 Pro 5G features a 6.78-inch Full HD+ display with a 120Hz refresh rate. A 120Hz panel can make scrolling, animations and supported games look smoother than a standard 60Hz display.

The phone has a punch-hole design for the front camera and will be available in three colours. Reported options include Aqua Green, Cosmic Purple and Silver Mist.

HMD is positioning the device as a more advanced version of the standard Vibe 2 5G. The earlier model launched in India with a 50-megapixel camera and 6,000mAh battery, while the Pro version increases the main camera resolution and charging speed.

Processor and performance

As per the reports, HMD Vibe 2 Pro 5G is expected to use a MediaTek Dimensity 6300 chipset with up to 8GB of RAM and 128GB of storage. The processor is designed for everyday tasks such as social media, video streaming, navigation and casual gaming.

The phone runs Android 16. HMD has also included Indus AI, which is designed to support 22 Indian languages. This could make voice commands and other AI-based features more useful for people who prefer using regional languages.

The exact RAM and storage combinations, along with the final India price, should be checked on the official sales listing because early reports have not provided a complete variant-wise price list.

64MP AI camera

The rear camera setup includes a 64-megapixel Sony IMX682 primary sensor and a 2-megapixel macro camera. The higher-resolution main sensor should provide more detail in well-lit conditions.

The phone also has a 13-megapixel front camera for selfies and video calls. AI camera features may help with scene recognition, colour adjustments and basic image processing, although the final photo quality will depend on software tuning and lighting.

A 64-megapixel camera does not automatically guarantee flagship-level photographs. Sensor quality, image processing and night photography performance will be more important for buyers who use the camera regularly.

Battery and charging

The HMD Vibe 2 Pro 5G packs a 6,000mAh battery. This should be useful for users who spend long hours watching videos, using navigation, attending calls or browsing social media.

The phone supports 33W wired charging. This is faster than the 18W charging available on the standard HMD Vibe 2 5G. A larger battery may still take longer to charge fully, but 33W support should make short charging breaks more useful.

Expected competition and positioning

The HMD Vibe 2 Pro 5G will compete with budget and mid-range 5G phones from brands such as Redmi, Realme, Lava, Motorola and Poco.

Its strengths are the large battery, 120Hz display, 64MP Sony camera and clean Android 16 experience. HMD’s challenge will be offering attractive pricing, reliable after-sales service and enough performance to stand out in a crowded market.

The phone is expected to be sold through Flipkart, making it part of the company’s online-first strategy in India.
