HMD introduced the Skyline smartphone yesterday with a Nokia N9-reminiscent design and a focus on repairability.
The Finnish is now ready to ship the Skyline, asking $500/€500/£400 for its base 8/128 GB version. Upgrading to the top 12/256 GB trip means you are looking at a $600/€600/£500 price. Certain regional websites also list a middle 8/256 GB variant, but that is not yet available.
HMD Skyline comes with a Snapdragon 7s Gen 2 chipset and a 6.55” OLED display with up to 144 Hz refresh rate and a 50 MP selfie camera behind a punch hole.
There are three cameras on the back: a 108 MP main camera with PDAF and OIS, a 13 MP ultra-wide shooter and a 50 MP telephoto lens with 2x optical zoom and PDAF.
The battery capacity is 4,600 mAh and supports 33W wired charging, but also uniquely in the Android world 15W wireless Qi2 magnetic charging.
Beyond that the HMD Skyline has another trick up its sleeve that the company calls Gen 2 repairability. The phone comes with a screw on the bottom that you unscrew to pop the back panel out, and then easily replace the screen, the battery, or the USB-C port.
HMD and iFixit will sell you the parts required for the replacement as well.
