Earlier this year, HMD announced the vanilla Vibe2 smartphone. Now, the brand has introduced the Vibe2 Pro smartphone with an interesting set of features in India. Under the hood, the device is powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 6300 chipset paired with up to 8 GB of RAM and 128 GB of internal storage with room for storage expansion via microSD card.

Software-wise, the Vibe2 Pro runs Android 16 out of the box, and the company promises only two years of security updates for the smartphone.
