I still can't believe we actually got something promising from HMD again. Nokia X30 was a good start but then 2023 happened and the entire Nokia lineup got demoted to low-end hardware (except for XR21).
And now with the Skyline finally getting released after an excruciatingly long period of teases and underwhelming, rushed launches i hope they'll keep making more interesting, ambitious devices that don't just rely on "We made the Nokias, now buy the HMD" to sell Unisoc T606 phones for €230

Swear to god, people on GSMArena will cry about anything. This phone has microSD slot, 3.5mm jack, 144Hz OLED display, 2x tele and a decent SoC. Like, come on.

Only making low and mid devices but few if any upper midrange or Flagships
Not adding right SoC's (Qualcomm artificially restrictions on 4K etc!)
Not right camera sensors apratures Stabilisation poor camera software lenses
No Oleds since 9 preview
Low brightness screens
No custom UI or unique Software tweaks like Moto or Nothing
No unique designs they look like most midrange devices on the market (Motorola has the same problem!)

I think this is a good start, by using their own name, especially as they are preparing a good project like Hmd Fusion.

I wish for FM Radio, if Skyline has it, it will become my first choice!
Maybe the best HMD /Nokia.
SD, wireless, Radio, OIS etc is a good package.

A real shame that the SD 7s Gen 2 is fabricated by Samsung rather than TSMC. They just aren't as efficient and have worse thermals than TSMC. If it was made by TSMC I think the performance and battery would be better.

I wish the battery capacity was 5000 which seems to be the industry standard rather than 4900mah. But we'll have to see the rest of the package and whether it has a variable refresh screen etc.

Hmd seem to be dragging their heels on the release of the skyline, little to no indication of imminent release. They said July and we've reached the halfway point with no launch/promo date yet.

I think they're experimenting with rebranding, but I think that's the stupidest thing they could possibly do. I'm going to write him a letter that says, if it doesn't say no, OK, I'm not buying it. And I'm going to dump your stock. because they are, like, trying to reinvent themselves, come back like a Phoenix. If they if they change, Nokia is 160 years old. It was Microsoft that killed him, right? They're going to put 4G on the moon that. is a brand. HMD is not a brand, so I'm going to, I'm going to write to him right now and say, look, those phones look fine, but if you're going to, if you're not going to update the Nokia's, you're it's you're done. Like I'm done with you. I never bought a Microsoft branded phone. The last one I had was a Lumia with OLED. And I loved it to death And they let HMD rebranded because they think that people think no clear a losers. Well, then they are losers because they're coming back. You can run windows on it. You can do whatever you want. Qualcomm's in windows right now. They are positioned. geopolitically. They screw this up. They're idiots. I'm going to. I'm going to contact them right now.

oh great another brick phone like the gazillion of other brick phones.
screw the current market and manufacturers for this "let me also make a copy of everyone else's phone and maybe everyone will buy mine because i'm trying to break into a single-pie market."
