A dedicated microsite for the HMD Vibe 2 5G is now live, confirming that the smartphone will be launched in India in May. However, the exact launch date remains under wraps. The handset is confirmed to go on sale in the country via Flipkart. The microsite suggests that the upcoming HMD Vibe 2 5G will be equipped with a flat screen, which will sport a centred hole-punch display cutout, which might house a camera for selfies and video calls.
While other details about the HMD Vibe 2 5G remain under wraps, one can look at the specifications and features of its predecessor for reference.

The handset ships with Android 15 and is promised to receive two years of quarterly security updates.
