The HMD Skyline should launching this month – leaks have revealed that this phone will have a design reminiscent of the Lumia aesthetic. It will be one of 5 (or more) new Android phones from HMD, including the HMD Pulse trio (which is already official) and the HMD Atlas rumors.
Other models include the HMD Ridge and Waylay (budget 5G phones) which join the Xenon and Skyline (mid-range to high-end 5G models). We’ve seen images of the Skyline earlier and they show a punch hole selfie camera.

Now @smashx_60 has shared images of another Lumia-like device, but this one is different – it has a notched camera. And if you look closely, it says “50MP OIS Camera” on the back (the Skyline is supposed to have a 108MP main module).
Powering the phone is said to be the Unisoc T760 chipset with 8GB of RAM and 128/256GB of storage. The front features a flat 6.67” OLED panel (FHD+, 120Hz), while the rear has the aforementioned 50MP OIS camera, an 8MP ultra-wide angle and a 2MP helper. The phone will be powered by a 4,900mAh battery with 33W charging.

This device, regardless of its codename, will fall in the €300 price range, while the Skyline falls in the €400 segment (€460 for the retail version). The Skyline also features a Snapdragon 7s Gen 2 chipset to help justify the extra price.
HMD is working on an even cheaper device with a 6.56” IPS LCD (FHD+, 90Hz), Unisoc T606 chipset, 50+2MP rear and 50MP front cameras, and a 5000mAh battery with 20W charging. It will fall in the €200 price range (with 6/128GB and 8/256GB memory options).
Additionally, at least some of the new devices come with official repair kits from iFixit, making them easy to repair.
