HMD Arc Detailed Features:

Battery

The HMD ARc packs a solid 5,000 mAh battery—the kind that’ll comfortably get you through a full day of texts, scrolling, and maybe even some light gaming. It charges at 10W, which isn’t the fastest in the market, but it’s reliable. It’s hardly a Formula 1 pit stop, but it will fill you up without any hassles, so think of it like a good old gas station. This battery has enough juice to last through the following morning if you’re the kind of person who forgets to charge overnight.

Display

The handset sports a 6.52-inch IPS LCD screen—nothing fancy like OLED, but it gets the job done with decent colors and solid viewing angles. At 460 nits peak brightness, it’s bright enough to handle a sunny day (just don’t expect flagship-level glare-busting). Please don’t pixel-peep too much because the resolution is on the basic side (576 x 1280). Icons and text appear fine for daily use, but if you hold it too close, you may detect a slight fuzziness. There are obvious bezels due to the 80% screen-to-body ratio, but there are also fewer unintentional taps.

Performance

The HMD Arc runs on Android 14 Go edition, which is like the lightweight version of Android 14. Itt keeps things simple and avoids bogging down your phone with unnecessary bloat. Under the hood, you’ve got a Unisoc SC9863A chipset, which isn’t going to win any speed races, but it handles the basics just fine. Imagine navigating social media with ease, playing light games, and using regular apps without any problems. For a low-cost phone, the eight-core CPU (four at 1.6 GHz and four at 1.2 GHz) is respectable, but if you try to multitask too much, you may experience some slowness. Although the IMG8322 GPU isn’t designed for demanding games, it can easily handle light games like Candy Crush or Subway Surfers. Bottom line? It’s a phone for people who want reliability without the fancy (and expensive) extras.

Camera

The HMD Arc keeps things simple with a midrange 13MP main camera that actually focuses properly (a nice bonus in this price range). Although it won’t take the place of your DSLR, it will work well for daylight photos, and it even has an LED flash for those low-light situations where you still want to capture your dubious life decisions. Although it is simple, the 5MP selfie camera works well for video calls and the occasional selfie taken in the bathroom without a mirror. You may record your friend’s terrible karaoke performance in all its pixelated glory or your child’s soccer match using both cameras.
