The HMD Aura: smart and simple

published on 2 min read

Nairobi, Kenya, 30th May 2024 – Human Mobile Devices (HMD) unveils HMD Aura, a new HMD original designed to be classic – simple clean lines, in two attractive colours: Glacier Green and Indigo Black. The design creates an aura of refined beauty and timeless sophistication.

Capturing precious moments does not require a fortune, with a 13 MP rear camera and intuitive features, anyone can effortlessly snap unforgettable memories.

“HMD Aura is more than an affordable smartphone, it’s a smart investment. It embodies our commitment to delivering on-camera capabilities, design, solid performance, and efficiency, at a price that won’t break the bank."

— Gopher Ogembo, HMD Senior Business Manager for East Africa, comments:

Psst! What three things make us stand out from the crowd?

Snap happy

In addition to the 13 MP rear camera, HMD Aura comes with a 5 MP selfie camera to snap, selfie-check, and flex on your socials. And when inspiration strikes, the last thing you want to do is fiddle with the camera settings. HMD Aura has a few simple-to-use modes, so you can pick the best one and just start snapping. Don’t let the moment pass you by.

Boost it up to go faster.

HMD Aura can handle everyday tasks with ease. But if you want to give it a little boost, you can add up to 4 GB of memory using virtual RAM¹, and watch as your browsing, streaming, and multitasking really takes off. If only everything had a button like that.

Works like a charm.

With the full AndroidTM 13 operating system, HMD Aura is simply a pleasure to use. With that said, it doesn’t think kindly of internet nasties – two years² of regular security updates will help keep your data safe against the latest threats.

Ballin’ on a budget

Sophisticated premium design with access to all the smart essentials you need at an extremely accessible price point.
