In a statement made available to the media on the new technology, HMD said, “Taking a phone to a repair shop can cost time and money. Users can save on both with HMD Arc, a smartphone that can be fixed at home due to its Gen1 repairability in markets with iFixit support1.”

In regions where the iFixit kits are not yet available, the repairable design ensures that local service centres can restore the device quickly and efficiently, the statement emphasised.

Speaking further on the new technology, the Chief Commercial Officer, Human Mobile Devices (HMD), Lars Silberbauer, said “HMD believes a phone’s price tag should not reflect its lifespan. With its powerful 5,000mAh battery, users can enjoy up to 51 hours of battery life on a single charge, allowing them to stay connected for longer.

According to him, “Built to last, HMD Arc offers 800 charging cycles before any noticeable drop in battery capacity, 3 ensuring reliable performance day after day. Whether it’s streaming, browsing, or chatting, HMD Arc delivers all the power needed without the hassle of having to go searching for a charger constantly.”

The HMD Arc camera is equipped with versatile Portrait and Night modes, alongside a suite of filters, to help users capture impressive photos in any setting. Whether it’s a low-light scene or a perfectly posed portrait, the HMD Arc camera delivers with ease.

Powered by Android 14 (Go edition), HMD Arc offers a lightweight yet robust operating system. With quarterly security updates for 2 years, the device ensures data stays safe while delivering a seamless performance. Giving the device that clever added boost to run smoothly, it’s also supported by Virtual Memory that enhances multitasking by converting 2GB of storage into additional RAM.

Commenting on the launch of HMD Arc, the HMD spokesperson, Jean-Francois Baril said, “The HMD Arc proves that affordability doesn’t mean compromise. With its lightweight build, essential features, and a focus on repairability and longevity, it’s the ideal choice for users seeking reliability without the big price tag.”

Coming this year, you can expect to see a new portfolio of Human Mobile Devices’ original mobile devices, as well as Nokia phones and exciting new partnerships,” Baril stated.
