HMD has officially unveiled the HMD Skyline, a smartphone that prioritizes user-friendly repair and a balanced digital experience. Featuring Gen2 Repairability, the phone allows users to easily open the back cover with a single screw and perform repairs at home, such as replacing the battery or screen.
Simplified Repairs
With Gen2 Repairability, HMD claims that repairing the Skyline’s screen requires 65% fewer steps compared to their first repairable model, the G22. The back cover can be effortlessly popped open, revealing a simple screw-driven mechanism for accessing internal components. Replacing the battery is also made easy with a built-in plastic liner that separates it from the chassis.
Detox Mode for Digital Well-being
The Skyline introduces a Detox Mode, allowing users to customize their digital detox by blocking specific apps and contacts. This feature encourages users to focus on the real world and maintain a healthy relationship with technology.
Advanced Camera System
The phone boasts a powerful camera setup, including a 108MP rear camera with Hybrid OIS, a 13MP ultra-wide lens, and a 50MP telephoto lens for stunning 50mm portraits. The 50MP front camera supports autofocus and eye-tracking for high-quality selfies, and an upcoming update will enable 4K selfie video recording.
Impressive Display and Performance
The Skyline features a 6.55-inch FHD+ pOLED display with a smooth 144Hz refresh rate and HDR10 support. Powered by the Snapdragon 7s Gen 2 SoC, the phone delivers efficient performance for everyday tasks and gaming. Additionally, a customizable Custom Button allows users to quickly access their favorite features or apps.
Long-lasting Battery and Wireless Charging
