HMD launched a new model called Luma – no, not “Lumia”, though that might have been cool. This appears to be similar to the HMD Vibe, though with a lower-end chipset.
The HMD Luma is powered by the Unisoc T615, a 12nm chip with Cortex-A75 and A55 cores, which are pretty old at this point. The phone is configured with 4GB of RAM and 128GB or 256GB storage – there is a microSD slot available. Disappointingly, the phone comes with Android 15 out of the box.

Besides the memory card slot, the phone has other “old-school” features like a 3.5mm headphone jack and an FM radio receiver. If you want to use wireless headphones, the phone supports Bluetooth 5.0. Stereo speakers are also on board for music and videos.
The Luma has a USB-C 2.0 port capable of delivering 18W to the 5,000mAh battery. Note that unlike the Vibe, this is a 4G phone (dual-SIM).
It has a better camera than the Vibe 4G, though, with a 50MP sensor like the 5G version of the Vibe. It also features a better 8MP selfie camera (hey, we said “better”, not “good”).
The display is a 6.67” LCD with 720 x 1,604px resolution. Since there’s no refresh rate mentioned, we assume it’s 60Hz.

The HMD Luma is available in Titanium and Blue. We found it on HMD’s sites in Nigeria and Ghana, but neither site mentioned the price. A teaser clip on Instagram says that the phone is “coming soon”, which explains that.
