HMD Tomcat Geekbench listing
- The Geekbench listing suggests the phone will have a codename ‘Tomcat’.
- The phone has managed to score 965 in the single-core round and 2625 in the multi-core segment.
- The listing suggests the phone would come with Android 14 OS and 8GB RAM, but there could be other options at launch.
- The motherboard section mentions ‘Tomcat’, which could be associated with the Snapdragon 7s Gen 2 chipset with a peak clock speed of 2.40GHz.
While not much else is known about the HMD Tomcat at the moment, it is sure to arrive as a premium mid-range offering. Meanwhile, the company had reportedly teased the return of the Nokia 3210 (2024) with a new design after 25 years. The new iteration is said to pay homage to the original Nokia 3210, which was launched way back on March 18, 1999.
HMD is expected to launch its self-branded phones in India shortly but there’s no exact date at the moment. There are chances the brand might introduce the Pulse series in the country as well. The HMD Pulse comes with the Unisoc T606 chipset, up to 50MP camera, a 5000mAh battery, and an HD+ display. The price of the Pulse series starts at €140 (around Rs 12,500). We can expect the price in India might be around the same range, if not slightly less.
