A new leak from source @smashx_60 outlines what could be HMD’s 2026 summer phone lineup, with the company reportedly preparing the Crest 2, Crest 2 Pro, and a more affordable HMD Key 2 for the lower end of the market.

According to the leak, the standard Crest 2 would feature a 6.78-inch FHD+ AMOLED display with a 90Hz refresh rate, a 50MP rear camera, Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 4 Gen 4 chip, 6GB of RAM, and 256GB of storage. The phone is also said to carry a 6000mAh battery with support for 33W wired charging. Pricing is tipped at 14,999 Indian rupees.

The higher-tier Crest 2 Pro is expected to keep the same 6.78-inch size but raise the display refresh rate to 120Hz while also increasing the rear camera spec to 64MP. The leaked configuration lists the same Snapdragon 4 Gen 4 platform, paired this time with 8GB of RAM and 256GB of storage. Battery capacity is again said to be 6000mAh with 33W charging, while the rumored launch price moves up to 16,999 Indian rupees.

At the entry level, the HMD Key 2 would reportedly use a 6.56-inch HD+ IPS LCD panel with a 90Hz refresh rate. The rest of the leaked spec sheet points to a Unisoc T310 processor, 4GB of RAM, 64GB of storage, and a 5000mAh battery with 10W charging. Its price is said to land around £60 to £70 in the UK market.

If the leak is accurate, HMD appears to be sticking to a straightforward strategy: large batteries, modest chipsets, and clear separation between entry-level and affordable midrange models. The two Crest phones would target buyers who want bigger OLED displays and more storage without moving into flagship pricing, while the Key 2 would focus on the absolute budget segment.

None of these details have been officially confirmed by HMD yet, so the specifications and prices could still change before launch. Still, the leak offers an early look at how the company may be planning to cover multiple price tiers during the summer release window.
