Okay, I’ll admit it. I was pretty bummed out by the whole HMD Pulse situation. It felt like a cheap rebranding exercise, a far cry from the Nokia phones I grew up with. Don’t get me wrong, I’m all for affordable options, but there was just something lacking, you know? It felt soulless.

Then I saw the news about the HMD Tomcat popping up on Geekbench, rocking what seems to be the Snapdragon 7s Gen 2. Suddenly, my hopes were rekindled. It’s been ages since we’ve seen a proper mid-range contender from HMD, not since the Nokia 8.5 back in 2020. A four-year gap is a long time in the tech world!

The Tomcat feels like a breath of fresh air. The Snapdragon 7s Gen 2 isn’t a flagship chipset by any means, but it’s a solid performer that should offer a smooth user experience for most people. Plus, if the rumors about it being easy to repair are true, that’s a huge bonus in my book. Remember those Nokia phones that could survive anything? I’d love to see that kind of durability make a comeback.

Look, I’m not expecting the Tomcat to be a revolutionary device. It’s probably not going to set the world on fire with groundbreaking features or mind-blowing specs. But it feels like a step in the right direction for HMD, a sign that they haven’t completely forgotten what made Nokia phones so popular in the first place.

I’m cautiously optimistic, let’s say that. Maybe, just maybe, the Tomcat is the start of something good. Maybe HMD is finally ready to reclaim its place in the smartphone world. I’m keeping my fingers crossed, and I’m excited to see what the future holds for HMD and the Tomcat.
