Human Mobile Devices or HMD is the device manufacturer responsible for the Nokia smartphone brand. But this year they changed their strategy by starting to sell HMD branded smartphones. Three devices were launched last month namely HMD Pulse Pro, Pulse Plus and Pulse. The latest through HMD's official Facebook page, two devices have gone on sale in Malaysia.
These devices are Pulse Pro and Pulse Plus. Pulse Pro comes with two options either 6/128 GB or 8/256 GB. While the Pulse Plus only offers a 4/128GB model. Each of these devices is powered by Unisoc T606 chip, 50MP main camera with AI Super Portrait + YUP Night Mode 2.0 feature, 5000mAh battery, 6.65-inch HD+ 90Hz screen and OZO audio system.
In Malaysia, HMD sells the Pulse Pro at a price of RM1019 for 6/128 GB and RM1179 for 8/256 GB. But in conjunction with the launch of this device can be purchased at a price of RM779 or RM909. For Pulse Plus it is sold at a price of RM869 and can be purchased at a price of RM639 for 4/128 GB. The device warranty is given for one year to exchange for a new unit because HMD Malaysia does not repair this device even though it is designed to be easily repaired.
Although this announcement is from official Facebook, the Shopee link shared does not display any Mall, Preferred or Preferred+ recognition. Not only that, in our review at SIRIM not a single new HMD device was listed. This means, HMD sells this device in Malaysia like Nubia and RedMagic do. All orders will be shipped directly from China. In other words, the customer support you will receive may not be as good as the devices sold here.
