In addition to the Tomcat leak, HMD has
reportedly teased
the return of a beloved classic - the Nokia 3210. This new iteration, expected
to launch in 2024, will reportedly pay homage to the original design of the
Nokia 3210, which debuted in 1999.

HMD is expected to launch its self-branded phones in India soon, although a
specific release date remains elusive. The Pulse series, featuring the Unisoc
T606 chipset, up to a 50MP camera, a 5000mAh battery, and an HD+ display,
might be among the first to arrive in the Indian market. The Pulse series
starts at €140 (around Rs 12,500), suggesting a similar or slightly lower
price range for the Indian launch.
Summary:
The appearance of the HMD Tomcat on Geekbench signifies the company's venture
into the mid-range smartphone segment. While details are scarce, the phone
appears to be equipped with a Snapdragon 7s Gen 2 processor, 8GB of RAM, and
the latest Android 14 operating system. Additionally, HMD might be planning to
reintroduce the Nokia 3210 and launch its self-branded phones, including the
Pulse series, in the Indian market soon.
