The company has not specified whether they have used a Samsung or a Sony sensor on their cameras, which could impact the overall camera quality of the smartphone.

HMD has tried to justify the prices of these smartphones by offering repairability 1.0 ratings, which mean that most of the components that easily get damaged in a smartphone, like the back panel , battery , display, and charging port, can be replaced easily by the user themselves.

The concept of changing the back panel might not seem new, as Nothing’s sub brand CMF had launched its first smartphone, CMF Phone 1, with a similar feature in which users can easily replace their back panels, but HMD has tried to move a step further with other components also.

The first sale of these smartphones will go live on the 1st week of August , so keep an eye on HMD social media handles if you are planning to buy one.
