Overview
The HMD Arc 2 is a budget phone from HMD, with an unverified reference price of about JOD 69 (about $95) — an estimate, not a confirmed market price. Below is its full spec sheet with a plain-language breakdown, pros and cons, and how it compares to its rivals. We have not tested this phone ourselves; everything here is derived from published specifications.
Its main highlights: its large 5,000 mAh battery. Its chipset is basic (12/100) — calls, WhatsApp and light browsing, as a first or backup phone.
Performance-index rank: #16 of 20 HMD phones we list.
Why consider it?
This sits in the genuinely cheapest tier, and HMD publishes two things that tier rarely offers: a charger inside the box, and a commitment to two years of quarterly security updates.
Who it suits
A first phone for a child, a second line for calls and messaging, or a stopgap while your main handset is being repaired.
Who should look elsewhere
Anyone who takes a lot of photos, watches high-resolution content, or keeps ten apps open: refresh is 60 Hz and the published resolution is 576 x 1280.
Performance, camera, display and battery — and the limits of the evidence
Phones in this tier are judged by what they give up, and HMD's sheet is unusually candid about it. The processor is a Unisoc 9863A and the system is Android 14 Go edition, Google's build for memory-constrained hardware. The presence of Go tells you more about expected performance than any single number: basic apps run, heavy app-switching is not what it was built for.
The display is the starkest compromise. HMD publishes 6.52 inches at 20:9, a 60 Hz refresh rate, a 460-nit peak and a resolution of 576 x 1280 — and never states the panel technology. Most of what sells at the same money today advertises 720p and 90 Hz, so this is a structural gap rather than a minor detail.
On imaging there is a single 13 MP autofocus rear sensor with an LED flash, and a 5 MP front camera. Picture quality cannot be derived from numbers, but the absence of any second sensor and the selfie resolution set the ceiling plainly enough.
There is a credit side. The 5000 mAh cell sits under a light OS, the charger is in the box while rivals have quietly removed theirs, and two years of quarterly patches are written down rather than implied. Note, though, that HMD publishes no charging wattage at all on the spec page, so do not assume fast charging.
And then the small things you live with daily: one speaker and one microphone, 4G as the network ceiling, and Wi-Fi limited to the 2.4 GHz band.
Alternatives worth comparing
- Honor X6b — For the same money (≈ 69) every fundamental moves up a step: a Helio G85, a 90 Hz panel, a 5200 mAh battery and a 50 MP main sensor instead of 13 MP. Unless something specifically ties you to HMD, this is the logical direction. (69 JOD · estimate) full comparison ›
- Tecno Spark Go 2 — At JOD 59 (estimate), it is JOD 10 cheaper. Compare the variants before deciding: 64GB+ versus 64GB+ storage, 5,000 versus 5,000 mAh, and Unisoc T615 versus Unisoc SC9863A. These are specification differences, not measured performance or battery life. (59 JOD · estimate)

Verdict — conditional on your needs and the documented price above
At ≈ 69 JOD it does its job if the job is calls, messaging and an emergency camera, with a charger supplied and a stated patch window. It is still behind what rivals at the same money offer on screen and camera, and that judgement comes from the spec sheet, not from living with the phone.

Phones JO index (spec-based)
What does that mean in plain words?
Battery: 5,000 mAh — a large capacity by market standards. Capacity is an indicator, not a measurement: real endurance depends on the display, chipset and your usage, and we have not measured it.
Charging: 33W — standard (rated charging power; actual charge time varies with the charger and temperature).
Display: IPS LCD FHD+, 6.52-inch — an LCD panel; lower contrast than OLED, and the norm at this price.
Camera: 13 MP (1 lens) plus a 5 MP front camera. Megapixels and lens count describe the setup, not image quality — real results depend on the sensor and processing, which we have not tested.
Pros & cons
Pros
- HMD lists a charger among the box contents and commits to two years of quarterly security updates counted from the global launch date.
- 5000 mAh under the lightweight Android 14 Go build, with HMD claiming up to 51 hours in its own real-life usage cycle test.
- It takes a memory card up to 128 GB on top of its 64 GB of storage, and includes a side-key fingerprint reader, FM radio and USB-C, at 184.5 g.
Cons
- HMD's published resolution is 576 x 1280 across 6.52 inches at 60 Hz and a 460-nit peak, while most rivals at the same money advertise 720p and a faster refresh rate.
- Wi-Fi stops at 802.11 b/g/n, meaning no 5 GHz band, so you stay on the crowded channel at home.
- One 13 MP rear sensor, a 5 MP front camera, 4 GB of RAM with 64 GB of storage and the Unisoc 9863A — the Go build is itself an admission of how tight the hardware is.
