HMD Pulse+ Business Edition. This model offers the Firmware-Over-The-Air (FOTA) feature.

In its press release, HMD does not extensively mention the technical specifications of the smartphone, so we assume that apart from additional software functions, it is the same as in the consumer version. Therefore, it seems that HMD Pulse+ in the Business Edition version is a model friendly to accountants and intended for lower-level employees, based on the Unisoc T606 processor with 6+128 GB memory and equipped with a 6.65-inch LCD screen with HD+ resolution, 90 Hz refresh rate and 600 nits brightness. The smartphone also has an 8-megapixel selfie camera and a 50-megapixel main camera supported by a background blur. The 5000 mAh battery, which can be replaced by yourself, charges with only 10 W. The housing has an IP52 tightness class. The Polish branch of HMD did not provide a price, but is known that in Finland this model costs 189 euros, which is more than the initial model, priced from 160 euros.
