HMD Pulse + Business Edition on preorders in Finland
|HMD Pulse+ also comes in a Pulse+ Business Edition version, offering the same specs with the added benefit of 5 years of security updates and 3 years of warranty.
Moreover, you have the option to repair the device yourself by visiting the HMD Repair Center at ifixit.com for replacement parts and step-by-step instructions. Parts are conveniently shipped anywhere in Europe thanks to Door-to-Door Service with DHL Express.
This Business-Ready Pulse+ model also boasts features like Network Lock, PIN-only power-off, and PIN keyboard shuffle. Additionally, during installation, you can disable biometric identification, providing tighter control over device access.

While these features are impressive, concerns may arise regarding the hardware specifications, particularly the Unisoc T606 processor. This processor may not provide the longevity desired, especially after several years of use. However, it’s essential to consider that business phones are typically utilized differently from personal devices, where specifications may not need to be as robust.

While this price may seem high, similar hardware can be found from Samsung (A03/A15) or Honor (X7b) at a lower cost. However, it’s worth noting that the price of this device may decrease over time, making it a more viable option for your business needs.
