The claim

HMD will sell a Pulse Pro 2nd Edition with a 120Hz screen, MediaTek Helio G99, 8GB RAM and 256GB storage for about THB 4,990 (around $148), and give the Fusion (Snapdragon 7s Gen 2) and Crest Max (Dimensity 7025) the same 2nd Edition treatment.

Why we rated it Likely

The Pulse Pro 2nd Edition showed up in a listing from what appears to be the official Nokia shop in Thailand, spotted by a tipster on X and relayed by GSMArena; the same tipster had leaked an EU version a week earlier. A retailer listing is strong evidence for the Pulse Pro refresh, so it is Likely. The Fusion and Crest Max 2nd Editions come only from the tipster, and HMD has announced nothing. Note that a Pulse 2 Pro was listed by a Swiss retailer in 2025 and never launched.
