HMD Global expands its smartphone offerings with the launch of the HMD Aura, a budget-friendly option for Australian users.
The Aura boasts a spacious 6.56-inch HD+ IPS LCD display, perfect for watching videos and browsing the web. It features a waterdrop notch for the front-facing camera, offering a wider 16:9 aspect ratio compared to most modern phones. Available in Glacier Green and Indigo Black, the Aura delivers a stylish look at an affordable price point of AUD $180 (~₱6,939.70).
While the Aura prioritizes affordability, it packs enough power for everyday tasks. It runs on the Unisoc SC9863A1 chipset, similar to the Nokia C31, and comes with 4GB of RAM and 64GB of storage, ensuring smooth performance for web browsing, video streaming, and social media.
Long-Lasting Battery and Classic Features
A highlight of the Aura is its massive 5000mAh battery, promising long hours of use on a single charge. It also features a convenient USB-C port for charging and a beloved classic – a 3.5mm headphone jack.
Capable Cameras and Up-to-Date Software
The Aura features a 13MP main rear camera with an additional lens for depth effects, along with a 5MP front-facing camera for selfies and video calls. The phone runs the latest Android 13 operating system, keeping you updated with the newest features and security patches.
Compared to the HMD Pulse
For those considering the HMD Pulse series known for repairability, the Pulse offers a more powerful Unisoc T606 chipset and double the storage (128GB) for a slightly higher price of AUD $230 (~₱ 8,867.39).
