And so, we can estimate what to expect from this phone.
HMD Arrow christening
HMD India says this name was suggested by its fans through a contest it held on X.com. It teases the phone’s launch in India in a few weeks.
Now coming to the rumour that it is a rehash of HMD’s Pulse smartphone, we think it’s possible. The company is said to launch the Pulse in the US as HMD Vibe.
