HMD Skyline: a Lumia-inspired throwback with modern tech

HMD Global, the current stewards of the Nokia brand, is on a nostalgia kick. After reviving the iconic Nokia 3210 with a modern twist last month, they’re now teasing the Skyline, a phone that evokes memories of the beloved Nokia Lumia 920.

Leaked renders reveal a design reminiscent of Nokia’s Fabula design language, made famous by the N9. But it’s the vibrant yellow color scheme that truly channels the spirit of the Lumia 920, a phone that captured hearts with its bold aesthetics.

While the Skyline’s design may be a throwback, its specs are anything but. This modern marvel is rumored to boast a crisp FHD+ OLED display with a buttery-smooth 120Hz refresh rate, powered by the capable Qualcomm Snapdragon 7s Gen 2 chipset.

The triple camera setup promises stunning photos, with a 108MP main sensor leading the charge, supported by an ultrawide lens and either a macro or depth sensor. And for selfie lovers, there’s a 32MP front-facing camera to capture your best angles.

The Skyline’s rumored specs also include a beefy 4,900mAh battery with 33W fast charging, ensuring you stay powered up all day. It’s also said to be IP67-rated for dust and water resistance, adding to its durability.

Modern touches like an under-display fingerprint sensor and stereo speakers round out the package, while Android 14 provides the software foundation.

But the big question is: when will we get our hands on this nostalgic yet cutting-edge device? Rumors point to a July launch, with an estimated price of €520 for the 8GB RAM and 256GB storage variant.

Nokia fans, get ready for a blast from the past, powered by the latest technology. The Skyline is poised to be a unique blend of retro charm and modern performance. Stay tuned for official updates and prepare to relive the glory days of Nokia!
