HMD has been quite busy this month, with the launch of several budget-friendly smartphones in different parts of the world. Following the release of the affordable Vibe in the United States, HMD is now introducing another wallet-friendly phone, the Aura, in Australia.
The Aura is available exclusively through Australian retailer JB Hi-Fi, with a price tag of AUD $180 (approximately €110). While the price point is attractive, let’s take a closer look at what this phone has to offer:
– 6.56-inch HD+ display
– Dual camera setup (13MP + VGA) and a 5-megapixel selfie camera
– Fingerprint sensor on the back for added security
Under the hood, the Aura is powered by a Unisoc SC9863A1 processor, 4GB of RAM, and 64GB of internal storage that can be expanded up to 256GB via microSD card. In terms of connectivity, the phone supports dual SIM cards, USB Type-C, a 3.5mm audio jack, 4G capabilities, GPS, Bluetooth, and Wi-Fi.
One of the standout features of the Aura is its large 5,000 mAh battery with support for 10W wired charging. While it’s unclear which version of Android comes pre-installed on the device, HMD has confirmed that it will receive two major OS updates in the future.
Overall, while the HMD Aura may not be groundbreaking in terms of specs or features, it offers solid performance and functionality at an affordable price point. Stay tuned for more updates on Phones Canada’s latest offerings!
