HMD Pearl spotted on Geekbench, might be the Pulse 2 Pro | Infinium-tech

An unknown HMD phone has surfaced on Geekbench – it’s codenamed “Pearl”. For testing Pearl was running Android 15 on a Unisoc chip with only 4GB of RAM.

Which chip is that? It appears to be the Unisoc T7250. The motherboard listed “ums9230_6h10” refers to T606/T615/T616, however, the CPU clock speeds (2x @ 1.82GHz + 6x @ 1.61GHz) indicate it is actually a T7250 (the three T6xx chips are 2x @ 1.6GHz + 6x @ 1.6GHz). The Mali-G57 is the GPU on both the T606 and T7250.

By the way, the HMD Pulse Trio uses Unisoc T606. are here benchmark results Of these: 392 single- and 1,385 multi-core. The T7250’s higher clock speed gives it an edge, albeit a small one.

We bring this up because the HMD Pulse 2 Pro was recently revealed – reportedly with the T615 chipset and 6GB of RAM. Now, the original Pulse came with 4GB and 6GB options, so this part isn’t surprising. But the store that leaked the Pulse 2 Pro could have easily confused the T615 with the T7250.

The RAM capacity is interesting – from what we’ve heard so far, Android 16 requires a minimum of 6GB. 4GB phones will need to switch to the Android 16 Go version when upgrading from Android 15 (even if it’s full-fat 15, not 15 Go). At least that was the original plan – the recent surge in RAM prices may set back 4GB phones, causing Google to reconsider.

According to the store, the HMD Pulse 2 Pro runs on Android 15, which matches Geekbench’s claim about Pearl, supporting the theory that they are the same phone. However, if there are both 4GB and 6GB variants, what will happen with the Android 16 update?
