The HMD Aura2 (stylized as the Aura2 (Aura squared)) is an entry-level Android smartphone that was manufactured, branded, and designed by HMD Global on February 11, 2025, until its launch date on March 13, 2025, in Australia. It was the successor of the HMD Aura with the same camera module and also a reparable device.
Development In September 2024, HMD planned the development of the HMD Aura2 with 2 rear cameras consisting of a 13-megapixel main camera and a 0.8-megapixel camera and the same display from its predecessor. The front camera was also upgraded to 8-megapixels as well. Since the official announcement was taken on February 11, 2025, it was no longer mentioned the secondary 0.8-megapixel camera including the upgraded front camera and the 6.56-inch display, which would take the same as the predecessor with a slightly smaller display sizing at about 6.52 inches.
