HMD probably makes the most repairable smartphones in the market. The company entered Nepal with HMD Crest a while back. And now both the vanilla and Crest Max variant are now available in Nepal. These two phones have very few things setting them apart from one another. Let's delve deeper into the HMD Crest series in this article while also discussing its latest official price in Nepal.
HMD Crest Series Overview
Design and Display
The HMD Crest series looks pretty much the same with flat frames and slightly curved edges. Both the phones have a rectangular camera island with two large circular cutouts. They also have an IP52 dust and water resistance. The base model has an LED flashlight at the side of these cameras, while the HMD Crest Max has a third camera and a flashlight. In terms of colors, both phones have three options. The former is available in Midnight Blue, Royal Pink, and Lush Lilac, while the latter comes in Aqua Green, Deep Purple, and Royal Pink.

Performance
Both the phones from the HMD Crest series are equipped with the UNISOC T760 chipset as their primary driver. As per HMD, the UNISOC chip scores over 510,000 on the AnTuTu benchmark. However, AnTuTu's website lists a score of just 222,273, which is less than half of what's claimed. Hence, HMD probably ran the test on an older version of the benchmarking platform. Whatever the case, the silicon comes with 6nm fabrication, eight cores, and a peak clock speed of 2.2 GHz.

Camera and the rest
The cameras on these phones are one of the major differences between the two types of hardware. As I mentioned earlier, HMD Crest comes with two rear cameras, while the Max variant packs an extra shooter on the back. That being said, you get a 50MP primary shooter coupled with a 2MP depth sensor on the base model. Meanwhile, the HMD Crest Max has a 64MP main, 5MP ultrawide, and a 2MP depth shooter. In terms of the front camera, both the phones are equipped with a 50MP unit. While the hardware is there, these phones are capable of hands-free selfies with gesture controls.
