HMD has quietly announced a successor to its HMD Arc, but while boasting a new name and paint job, it does not bring many noticeable upgrades. Arc 2 still boots Android 14 Go and is built around a 6.52-inch IPS LCD with HD+ resolution and a 60Hz refresh rate.
It is equipped with the Unisoc T603 chip, which is a more capable revision of Unisoc SC9863A from the first-generation HMD Arc. The T603 is built on a more efficient 12nm process and features a max clock speed of 1.8 GHz. The chip is paired with 4GB RAM and 64/128GB storage while also boasting an SD card slot.
Around the back, we have the same single 13MP camera, while the front boasts a 5MP selfie shooter housed inside a waterdrop notch. Arc 2 brings a 5,000mAh battery with 10W charging and also features a USB-C port and 3.5mm headphone jack.
HMD Arc 2 comes in Dark Blue and Golden Beige colors. It will be available from July 20 in Thailand for THB 2,990 ($90/€78 converted).
