No, you’re not wrong. The HMD Skyline really does look like this. a lot of to the old man Nokia Lumia 920especially from the front. From the square corners to the screen placement V HMD, instead of merging with it, created one of the most beautiful smartphones ever made, for the latest technology. its new line of smartphones.
There’s no sign of a Microsoft Windows Phone revival to accompany the Lumia’s arrival, however, as the Skyline runs Android 14 (not the RB26DETT I usually like to see on a Skyline), and the big news isn’t the camera, but something called “Detox Mode.” It’s HMD’s latest attempt to limit your phone usage, allowing you to add apps and even people to an automatic block list so you won’t be interrupted for a set period of time or until you reboot your phone.
The detox mode can be activated manually or scheduled to activate at a specific time, and there’s also a widget for direct control from the home screen. It will be available on the Skyline in a software update in August, and is likely to be part of future HMD smartphones. Another key feature of the Skyline is its repairability, which HMD has prioritized over the long software update period, saying that more people want cheap and easy repairs than software updates that last for years or longer than they actually keep the phone. The Skyline has two years of major updates and three years of security updates.
You don’t have to be a DIY expert either, as HMD has improved repairability even more than the first-gen phones. All it takes is a putty knife, a small screwdriver, and less than 10 minutes to replace a cracked screen or dead battery. Replacement parts will also be available from iFixit for the next five years. Repairing your phone yourself won’t void your warranty, and the smart assembly means the phone will even retain its IP54 water and dust resistance rating.
The Skyline’s camera array is led by a 108MP camera on the back with a 50MP telephoto lens with 4x optical zoom, as well as a 13MP wide-angle camera. On the front is a 50MP camera with eye tracking and 4K video recording, as well as gesture recognition so you don’t have to touch the screen to take a photo. There’s a dedicated camera button on the aluminum frame, and its functionality can be customized as well. Other features include a 6.55-inch POLED display with a 144Hz refresh rate, a Qualcomm Snapdragon 7S Gen 2 processor, and a 4,600mAh battery.
The HMD Skyline is now available in two colours: Twisted Black and Neon Pink, with the option of an 8GB RAM/128GB storage version for £399, or around $518, or £499/$648 for the 12GB RAM/256GB storage model. There’s no US release date yet, but if it does launch, the starting price will be $499.
