HMD Vibe 2 India Launch Confirmed for May on Flipkart

HMD Vibe 2 India launch confirmed on Flipkart

HMD Global has confirmed the India launch of the HMD Vibe 2 for May, with a dedicated microsite now live on Flipkart. The listing does not reveal the exact launch date or full specifications, but it does point to a flat display with a centrally placed punch-hole cutout for the selfie camera.

The HMD Vibe 2 is set to follow last year’s HMD Vibe 5G. Based on the information available so far, the new model is being positioned as a budget-style smartphone, with teaser material and reports pointing to a familiar spec sheet and a few changes under the hood.

What the Flipkart listing shows

Flipkart’s coming soon page confirms that the smartphone will arrive in India in May. Beyond that, the page keeps most details under wraps. There is no final launch date, and HMD has not put out a complete specification list through the microsite.

The teaser image shared with the listing suggests a flat display design. It also shows a punch-hole cutout in the center for the front camera. That is the main design detail visible from the current promotional material.

HMD Global, known earlier for bringing Nokia phones to market, is using Flipkart for the India rollout of the new handset. The exact pricing has not been announced on the live listing.

HMD Vibe 2 details and expected features

The HMD Vibe 2 is expected to arrive as the successor to the HMD Vibe 5G. The earlier model was positioned as a budget-friendly offering, and the new version is also expected to stay in that segment. There are reports that HMD may introduce a 4G variant as well, powered by a Unisoc T7200 SoC.

At the same time, the phone is said to retain 5G connectivity in one of its variants. The raw material also notes that the specs appear to stay close to the HMD Vibe 5G, except for the chipset.

• Flat display with punch-hole cutout
• 6.75-inch HD+ 90Hz LCD screen
• 50MP + 2MP dual rear camera setup
• 5MP front camera
• 5000mAh battery with 10W charging
• 4GB RAM
• 128GB or 256GB user-expandable storage
• Reported 4G variant with Unisoc T7200 SoC

The handset is also tipped to come in Titanium Black and Titanium Light colour options. Those colours suggest a slightly more premium look, though the device is still described as likely being affordable.

The source material says the HMD Vibe 5G was a sub-Rs 10,000 phone. It adds that the successor is likely to cost more, based on industry trends. No official price has been shared for the HMD Vibe 2 yet.

That is where the update stands for now. The launch is confirmed for May on Flipkart, while the exact date, full hardware details and final pricing remain undisclosed.

Factual context so far

The current information comes from the live Flipkart microsite and teaser material linked to the phone. Until HMD shares the full India announcement, the HMD Vibe 2 remains a device with only partial details in public view. The headline points are clear enough: a May launch, a punch-hole display design, and a position as the follow-up to the HMD Vibe 5G.
