HMD Unveils Latest Smartphone- HMD Skyline – With Focus On Humans

Human Mobile Devices (HMD) has dropped its eagerly awaited hero handset, HMD Skyline – for the creators. The HMD Skyline is designed to offer remarkable functionality, great battery life, and a stunning look. This device is packed with impressive features and represents a significant improvement compared to previous models.

At the Mobile World Congress earlier this year, HMD stood out with its innovative, human-first designs. As Europe’s largest smartphone maker and a leading feature phone manufacturer, the company continues to push boundaries. HMD continues to embody its new strategic direction by partnering with global lifestyle brands and focusing on repairability, digital detox, and value.

Speaking about the announcement, Lars Silberbauer, Global CMO of Human Mobile Devices, said; “Human Mobile Devices is human by design…and that’s what we’ve done with HMD Skyline, put consumers first. The camera is a creator’s dream.”

Celebrity photographer Rosanna Elettra, who tested the HMD Skyline, said, “What’s amazing about this device is how it’s designed to be your faithful pocket camera, how easy it is to repair, and the new Detox Mode, which everyone needs to break from digital noise.”

It’s therefore with perfect timing that this year’s tech disruptor, HMD, drops its stunning new hero handset. Just like a ‘Brat Girl’ HMD Skyline is unafraid to break conventional rules or expectations, and once again proves great design doesn’t have to cost a lot.

Skyline has been built with a progressive GenZ audience firmly in mind, so the camera capabilities are standout – and seemingly endless. The 50MP front camera comes with autofocus and eye-tracking to ensure the sharpest of selfies, and with Skyline, creators don’t even need to press a button or set a timer to take a picture. The device comes with in-built ‘selfie gesture’ hardware, which means all users have to do is look at the phone while making the universal peace sign (or one of three other hand signs) to activate the camera. You can also create video selfies in 4k.

The 108MP Hybrid OIS triple rear camera is equally impressive, ensuring users are ready for any shot. Portrait mode allows for stunning 50mm shots with natural bokeh effect and crisp close-ups can be achieved with the x4 zoom function. Night Mode 3.0 balances exposure and preserves detail, and stunning scenery and group shots can be captured using the 0.5 ultra-wide mode. And there’s AI Capture Fusion too to add maximum detail to zoom images.

A smartphone with dumbphone functionality: Detox Mode shuts down your socials. And the good news just keeps on coming. From August, the super-slick smartphone for the ages will come with a powerful new in-built detox mode with bespoke app and contact blocking, allowing users to tailor their detox to their needs, focus on the real world, and enjoy a balanced smartphone experience whenever they need a break from the digital world.

With the digital detox movement continuing to gather pace, particularly among Gen-Z, it is a timely technological advance that stands above competitors’ detox functions, which usually only silence apps and notifications. Skyline launches in two distinct colourways, Neon Pink and Twisted Black. It is fixed with up to 48-hour battery1 and Qi2 magnetic charging for slick wireless charging stations.
