The HMD Aura looks different from previous offerings like the HMD Vibe. It does not have a square camera module, but only two sensors located vertically on the back. In addition to the cameras, there is also a fingerprint reader. However, the high placement of the fingerprint reader may affect user comfort. You should sit slightly in the middle for a comfortable experience. Despite the design flaw, the smartphone has a clean, minimalist design. It comes in two colors including Glacier Green and Indigo Black. From the front, it looks like a typical budget phone with a teardrop notch.

The HMD Aura comes with a 6.56-inch display. It has a normal 60 Hz refresh rate and a resolution of 900 x 1600 pixels. This resolution is adequate for basic tasks like browsing, but users may notice that the image is not clear compared to FHD+ displays. It is noteworthy that the resolution of the HMD Aura is higher than that of the previously launched HMD Pulse of 720 x 1612 pixels.

Another potential drawback is the Unisoc SC9863A1 chipset, which may struggle with intensive tasks due to its 28 nm process. The processor is paired with up to 4GB of RAM and 64GB of storage. In comparison, the Oppo A18, a similarly priced phone, comes with a Helio G85 processor, which is based on a 12nm process and offers better performance. For more storage, the phone allows the use of a microSD card for up to 256 GB of additional storage.
