HMD Skyline: The Revival Of Nokia Lumia?

The new leaked render reveals a smartphone that is said to be the “HMD Skyline” and looks very similar to the old Nokia Lumia phones

While HMD Global has not confirmed the leaked renders, they have created quite a buzz among tech enthusiasts eagerly anticipating the new smartphone.

In this article, I will cover all the details about the upcoming Nokia Lumia-like smartphone from HMD Global including the rumors of expected specifications.

Key Highlights

• HMD Global’s upcoming smartphone “HMD Skyline” may feature a Nokia Lumia-like design.
• Recent render leaks reveal a boxy nostalgic design in the upcoming smartphone by HMD.
• It will be a mid-range smartphone with an expected price of under $450 in the US or below Rs. 40,000 in India.

HMD Skyline Overview

The HMD Skyline has a punch-hole selfie camera and an in-display fingerprint sensor.

It also has sharp edges and slightly thicker bezels compared to the current smartphones available in the market. The leaked image mentions the phone’s name, indicating that it could be an official teaser of the HMD Skyline.

The possibility of HMD bringing back the Lumia design is big as the brand has teased such designs before. HMD has also reintroduced old phones like the Nokia 3210 new version that was launched in May.

HMD Skyline Specifications Rumours

According to the rumors, the HMD Skyline is said to feature an FHD+ OLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate.

The smartphone is expected to be powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 7s Gen 2 SoC.

It could feature a triple-camera setup with a 108MP primary sensor, an ultra-wide lens, and a macro or depth sensor. For selfies, it might house a 32MP front camera.

The HMD Skyline is rumored to pack a 4,900mAh battery with 33W fast charging support and an IP67 rating for dust and water resistance.

Note: All the above specifications are rumored specs, not confirmed ones. We can only confirm the specs once the smartphone is officially launched.

HMD Skyline Launch Date

The HMD Skyline is expected to launch globally in the month of July 2024.

HMD Skyline Price

The top-variant(8GB/256GB) of the phone could cost around €520 that is approximately Rs 47,400

Note: These prices may differ at the time of the smartphone launch as there is still no confirmation about the final price of the smartphone from HMD.

The nostalgic Nokia Lumia series revived in the HMD Skyline

Apart from the Lumia-like design, there haven’t been specific rumors about other iconic features from the Nokia Lumia series being revived in the HMD Skyline.

HMD Global has been actively engaging with its community of Nokia enthusiasts, seeking feedback and suggestions.

This approach allows them to understand what aspects of the Lumia series resonate the most with fans, enabling them to tailor the HMD Skyline’s features and user experience to evoke the desired nostalgic sentiments.

By involving the community in the development process, HMD Global ensures that the new phone captures the essence of the Lumia series and meets the expectations of its dedicated fan base.

However, considering HMD’s track record of reintroducing old Nokia phones, it wouldn’t be surprising if they bring back some beloved features such as PureView camera technology, Zeiss optics, or even the vibrant range of color options that were characteristic of the Lumia series.

While these features are speculative at this point, HMD has shown a commitment to honoring Nokia’s legacy, so fans can hope for some pleasant surprises when the HMD Skyline is officially unveiled.

Final Words

In summary, the smartphone may bring the nostalgia back but with a price.

The mid-range smartphone market is already very competitive in price and considering the leaked specs hypothetically this Nokia Lumia-like smartphone seems to be overpriced.

It will be interesting to see how this nostalgic design plays out in the final product and if it will be well-received by consumers.

I am excited to review the smartphone once it is available, till that time you can follow Techbagpack on social media for the latest reviews and updates.
