Editorial report
HMD Skyline 12 GB / 256 GB / International technical sheet
The HMD Skyline suits buyers looking for a midrange phone with a fast display and a versatile camera setup. Its main trade-offs are a 209.5 g weight, heavier than most phones of its time, and a 4,600 mAh battery with less capacity than most. Overall, it fares better than most phones launched around the same time, though its strengths are not evenly spread across every feature.
The 6.55-inch pOLED display has a 144 Hz refresh rate, among the highest of its time; its 402 ppi density and 90% screen-to-body ratio are also better than most. The 108 MP camera resolution is among the highest, while the telephoto camera’s 2x optical zoom exceeds that of most phones of its time. Optical image stabilization and a 13 MP ultrawide camera are also included. Wired charging is 33 W, a typical figure, while 15 W wireless charging offers more power than most phones of its time. The phone also supports 5 W reverse wireless charging.
This configuration has 8 GB of RAM and 256 GB of expandable storage. The phone is sold in configurations ranging from 8 GB / 128 GB to 12 GB / 256 GB. It runs Android 14, has five years of operating system update support, and includes NFC and IP54 resistance. Its overall NeoScore is 7.2. The HMD Skyline is worth considering for buyers who prioritize a high-refresh-rate display, high camera resolution and wireless charging, and can accept a heavier phone with a comparatively smaller battery.
