The HMD Skyline in Blue Looks a Lot More like its Predecessor
It’s only been a few days since the launch of the HMD Skyline, HMD’s take on Nokia’s legacy smartphone design language. While the phone evokes a lot of the same curves and corners found on the Nokia N9 in particular, a newly-spotted color variant brings it even closer to the beloved smartphone of yesteryear.
Dubbed “Topaz Blue,” the color variant was spotted by YouTuber @TheMrNokia via an Amazon Germany product listing. Aside from the color, the specs remain the same all throughout although the phone looks even closer to its predecessor more than ever.
The Skyline features a removable backplate for easy repairability, and runs on Android 14 with what HMD calls a “Detox Mode” for folks who want to cut down on their smartphone usage every now and then. In front you get a 6.55-inch display, while inside there’s a Snapdragon 7s Gen 2 chipset with up to 12GB of RAM, and a 4,600 mAh replaceable battery.
For cameras, the phone features a 108 MP Main sensor, aided by a 13 MP ultrawide sensor and 50 MP telephoto camera; in front there’s a 50 MP selfie camera with autofocus. HMD says that the phone will come with two years of major Android upgrades and three years of security updates, and it will be available in the United States from August and will be priced at $499.
