It needs better CPU and headphone jack. And the price needs to be 300 euro at most maximum. Then these would sell to more masses as otherwise it's yet another one of these meh phones with high price. Get like stock Android but only like 2 OS updates is a joke. The point for stock android is to get long term updates and you dont need to do much at all for the phone cause you dont have your own unique touch on the skin over android.
7s gen 3 would be enough but if it is coming with gen 2 then it's already a joke.
They can't even use something like 7+ gen 2/3 that would make the phone last longer for the future proof case.
7s gen 2 is like the bottom end of middle class or top end of budget class performance.
It's not like we are in year 2020 when this 7s gen 2 was by performance like entry flagship.
But even with 3.5mm jack this phone would not have much of a chance cause the specs are too weak for their typical high price
Well i would not buy any of them anyways even when i would need new phone. The Lumia 830 i had that looks like this except the camera in the rear was nice design like 9 years ago when i got the phone but now i dont want anything like that when there are phones with screen edge to edge with no bezel. The problem is that they need to make the screen 6.5 inch or bigger and then have massive bezel and also frame that makes the phone too big. It's like a tablet that you need a bag to carry around. In summer when it's hot you want to be with t-shirt and shorts but cant cause you need a bag to have your phone with you cause the phone just is so massive in size

IpsDisplay, 22 Apr 2025"4,600 mAh battery "
This is just disrespectful If they could manage to squeeze an average of 3 days on a Nokia 8 with its measly 3000mAh battery, it's possible for them to provide a better battery life with a 4600mAh battery with a comparatively efficient chipset. But a bigger battery is nicer to have, that's for sure.
Apart from that, they're desperate to maintain engagement, and judging by how boring phone releases are for the past 8 years, I don't blame them.

ThunderCrackR, 22 Apr 2025Hopefully, this time with more years of software support. I was thinking the same as well. HMD naturally outshines the competition for introducing lesser bugs over time (doesn't mean that their devices are bug-free in the earlier stages), and the unlockable bootloader is a win-win for developers. They can consider including a Dimensity chipset in place of the 7s Gen 2 (overpowered for most average users, but still), or a SD 8s Gen 3 is just as fine.

i picked up a 8/256 for £250 a few months ago, compared to what else i could get for the money it was the stand out. it has been good so far.

S I R E, 22 Apr 2025HMD needs to up there game. Skyline was nice with Nokia N s... moreTHIS.
If they don't give Skyline 2 a Snapdragon Elite and 5-10 years of security updates and a headphone Jack:
They'll receive another Wooden Spoon from MrWhoseTheBoss and/or the Bust Of The Year award.

If this comes in at 500 against the Pixel 9a I'm sorry to say it just won't work.

I liked the Skyline 1 but the battery capacity, camera and overall price was too high. If Skyline 2 comes in as expensive it becomes DOA again.

Shamrock Sean, 22 Apr 2025Up their game you mean not thereIf you mean the typo then yes, I placed a verb where possessive pronoun should be. (Mistakenly)
If you mean Nokia not being their game, well... They bought the company. It is indeed their game now.
