HMD Skyline 2 is coming, here's when

21 April 2025
It will unsurprisingly be the successor to the original Skyline from last year.

The repairability and the telephoto camera are what I really like and look for. I also like the idea the brand has European touch. HMD is having a chance to become a significant player on the European market in the current situation especially if they are the first to implement the EU laws and regulations. I am sure none will complain about their pricing if they come up with powerful futureproof processors.

      wish they come back with Lumia 1020 design with PureView tech and 200MP triple/quad camera. Colours: Yellow, white, black just like the old days.

        Anonymous, 23 Apr 2025You're supposed to follow GadgetIN and Beebom instead...Neah, i just follow myself. I do a better job testing the devices i want to buy.

          SGH Fan, 22 Apr 2025HMD Skyline Squared?I hope they don't use that name.

            I hope they make the display screen have boxed corners instead of curved. Having a display with curved corners on a non curved rectangular body just doesn't look right.

              144Hz on a mid-range phone!?!?!? I hope HMD impresses with this new release.

                  Anonymous, 22 Apr 2025THIS. If they don't give Skyline 2 a Snapdragon ... moreYeah, well mrwhos the whatever, is just an influencer with charisma and little to no tech knowlege, he's also payed for his "reviews" that are no more then ads. I am yet to see a proper review from him or mkbdk (or whatever his name is) and most other "tech reviewers" that do not actually review a device. A proper review should include everything from build quality, to real life battery charging speeds and lasting power, to call quality, signal quality, software stability and full functions, every day usage for at least a month, camera quality with diverse settings and situations. Battery lasting power when using the camera. Battery lasting power when only wlan and when only on data. Also with 144hz refresh rate and with 60hz refresh rate, and oh how many are there to be tested. And stay true to the core no matter how good or bad would the device be, that's a reviewer, not this influencers or whatever they are that have hard times finding the settings app. That ones wooden spoon is as useless as most of his videos.

                      They should definetly improve the software update and speed of bug fixing.
                      Should have in-display fingerprint reader and software toggle to deactivate it while phone screen is off. With the side reader I really had some annyoing times so i have to use macrodroid to disable fingerprint reader everytime i lock screen otherwise it constanlty tries to scan whatever touches it. Then make it to auto turn on when screen is lit.
                      It should have at least 5 years of security updates and bug fixes.
                      Camera software and post processing is in dire need of imporvements, on the current skyline too. HDR is darn aggressive and delivers, (depending on the amont of ligh) bad artifacts looking somehow pixelate when zooming in the photo to 100% and behind. This too is not constantly happening, sonetimes the photos in the same situation do not have that issue....

                        Anonymous, 22 Apr 2025hope it comes with sd slot & 3.5mm jackI can tell now that it will definetly not. With repairability in mind they will definetly want to avoid it, but well, who knows.

                          IpsDisplay, 22 Apr 2025"4,600 mAh battery " This is just disrespectful You are right, it should have 3000000000.

                            For "as good value for money" you can find the floaded market by xiaomis oppos and honor and their 1000 other sub-businesses, hmd really does not need to go down that road. So yeah, it is good value for money.

                              The Android Freak, 22 Apr 20257 Gen 4 is not released yet. Even 8s Gen 4 is not released ... moreHMD phone also is not released yet and who knows when will it be released.
                              So whats your point ?

                              Also you can't compare Nothing brand with HMD
                              When HMD used Nokia branding they were already a total joke and late with releases on new phones that come with old version of android and low end hardware. It's like their best was 'SD695

                                The Android Freak, 22 Apr 20257 Gen 4 is not released yet. Even 8s Gen 4 is not released ... more8s Gen 4 is released already and is in use on phones like Redmi Turbo 4 Pro

                                What does Nothing have to do with HMD?

                                Talking as if Nothing uses the best available SoC, they never use competitive hardware with exception on CMF 1 which itself cuts cost on as many things as possible to sport a Dimensity 7300.

                                  Even Nothing didn't use 7 Gen 3 in their Nothing Phone 3A Pro, from where HMD will use it?

                                      I hope skyline 2 will be like Nokia 1520 phablet, widt was 85, the phone now have 75 and iPhone 77, 85 is better when you watch Movies
