Every few months, a new budget Android phone shows up with a design that’s either heavily inspired by the latest iPhone or a straightforward copy.
Leaked renders of the HMD Luma 2, shared by tipster @smashx_60 on X, seem to be blurring the line between the two.
So what exactly are we looking at here?
As seen in the renders, the purported smartphone has a rectangular camera plateau in the upper section of the rear panel, similar to the one on the iPhone 17 Pro. Only instead of three cameras, HMD fits in two.
The renders also suggest a two-tone finish, with the lower portion of the back appearing slightly different from the top. Apple’s latest Pro iPhones first introduced the look, with a glass lower portion that enables wireless charging and an aluminum upper camera bar.
Even Midnight Lake, the third colorway, is close enough to the iPhone 17 Pro’s Deep Blue. To be fair, this is not the first time HMD has done this. The current HMD Luma already mirrors the iPhone 16 Pro aesthetic, with a rear camera module sitting at the top-left of the back panel.
What’s actually inside the HMD Luma 2?
Per @smashx_60’s X post, the Luma 2 will reportedly pack a 6.75-inch HD+ IPS LCD with 120Hz and run on the Unisoc T7280 chip alongside 4GB of LPDDR4X RAM (expandable up to 8GB virtually) and 128GB or 256GB of UFS 2.1 storage (expandable up to 1TB via microSD card).
Out of the box, it could run on Android 16. The phone may also feature a 50MP main camera with a secondary lens and an 8MP selfie shooter. The phone is powered by a 6,000 mAh battery that supports 18W wired charging.
Additional features could include a 3.5mm jack, OZO Audio, and IP54 protection.
