Expected Features of HMD Moon Knight

An X post from the account HMD_MEME’S (@smashx_60) suggested that HMD is working on this new smartphone, tentatively named Moon Knight, with the model number TA-1691. According to the leak, this upcoming device is expected to be powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 chipset.

The leak further indicates that the HMD Moon Knight may feature a full-HD+ pOLED display with a 144Hz refresh rate. It is anticipated to include a quad rear camera setup and may be constructed with an aluminium frame while supporting 5G connectivity. Additionally, the device might come equipped with a dual speaker unit.

Another noteworthy aspect of the HMD Moon Knight is the potential inclusion of POGO pins, suggesting that its design could bear a resemblance to the HMD Fusion, which was unveiled at IFA 2024 earlier this month. This design approach is expected to facilitate customizable accessories that could offer enhanced functionalities.

For reference, the HMD Fusion is powered by a Snapdragon 4 Gen 2 SoC and features an IP52-rated build for dust and splash resistance. The specifications include a 6.56-inch 90Hz HD+ display, a dual rear camera system with a 108-megapixel primary sensor, a 50-megapixel front-facing camera, and a robust 5,000mAh battery with 33W wired fast charging. The starting price for this device is EUR 249 (approximately Rs. 24,000).
