The skyline seems to be a perfect fit for me even with few imperfections. I still have my eyes on it .

Great review.
I am testing the HMD Skyline for 5 days now, and this seems to be very accurate of what I experience.
I have a feeling that the Nord 4 would have been a better choice for me.

With such a poor rating by GSM Arena people will still buy this overpriced phone

What is the point of making the phone repairable if you're going to halve the CPU to some mid-range last-gen junk, so price/performance is 2X the Pixel 8a? I want a repairable phone with competent hardware, not to pay twice anyway...

Very expensive phone for what he gives. This phone should be 350 euro and not more.

I would've considered this if the battery life was excellent and the charging speed faster. Why even have reverse charging if the battery of the device itself is this bad?

These buggers have Pure View tech. But they are doing to use it.

Even without Zeiss optics or PureView processing algorithm, I'm impressed with the photo quality. It leans on the realistic side with natural colour processing. I do see some degree of oversharpening effect here and there, but it doesn't do too much to hurt the photos. Just imagine how good it would be with Zeiss optics and the PureView processing algorithm.

It's a common thing with HMD releases to ship with bugs or lacking advertised features and that shapes the entire reception of the device long after the issues have been fixed by updates.

They did the same with the exclusive Crest phones for India. They make good phones but their first impressions are bad. This is a huge letdown by the software department.
If they want to play this game they need to step up their efforts. Hopefully they would have learned from their "first" effort and would be better prepared for their next product.

The latest update for the Skyline added 4K recording to the selfie camera, and also enabled steady mode (hybrid OIS/EIS) in 4K 30fps across all of the rear cameras. A shame this wasn't ready during the review period as people won't read about updates.

Well, sorry to hear this, i do not think it was a defect device, it probably had some software issues. The thing is, factory reset does not resolve the core issues, android is really not that smart in that criteria. So with big issues the resolution would be to rewrite the software on the storage, for that tough, you would need to send it in. But anywqy, why didn't you send it in? You said you had it for 6 months, i mean there is a lot of time to send it back...

Carol-, 17 Aug 2024Sorry, my wife owes the device, and has no problem you just... moreno, i don't have sd card installed, i tried factory reset, problems not solved, not sure if it's a device defect but it's just bad experience for me. I bought nova prime to see any difference but no. I didn't tried other launchers cuz nova was my go to launcher. Another problem is Microphone and Camera privacy toggle keep missing after few days after factory reset... not sure if it's ALSO my device defect but after the June update it's still not solved, I've sold the device after owning for 6months (most of the time not using).
