    Nokia Lumia-Inspired HMD Smartphone Launches

    After numerous leaks and speculations, HMD has officially unveiled the Skyline smartphone. True to expectations, the device adopts design elements from the Nokia Lumia’s Fabula aesthetics and stands out as HMD’s most advanced smartphone to date. Let’s explore its specifications, features, and pricing details.

    HMD Skyline Specifications

    The Skyline showcases design nuances reminiscent of Nokia’s Fabula design, marked by its rounded sides and squared ends. It boasts a 6.5-inch OLED display on the front, delivering Full HD+ resolution and a 144Hz refresh rate. The screen incorporates a punch-hole cutout that accommodates a 50MP front camera for selfies.

    Internally, the Skyline is powered by the Snapdragon 7s Gen 2 chipset, coupled with either 8GB or 12GB of RAM. Storage options range from 128GB to 256GB, and there’s a microSD card slot enabling expansion up to an additional 512GB.

    The rear of the phone features a triple camera setup, including a 108MP main sensor, a 13MP ultrawide lens, and a 50MP telephoto lens with up to 4x zoom. HMD’s AI Capture Fusion technology enhances photo details.

    The Skyline is equipped with a 4,600mAh battery that supports 33W wired charging and 15W magnetic Qi2 wireless charging. However, HMD does not provide a compatible adapter in the package. A 33W wall charger can be bought separately for £30, or a 30W dual-port adapter for £20 from their website.

    Running on Android 14, the Skyline is guaranteed two major OS updates and three years of security updates. It includes a "Detox Mode" for reducing notifications and social media access, and a customizable side button for quick access to preferred apps.

    Repairability and User-Friendliness

    A notable feature of the HMD Skyline is its repairability. HMD claims the device can be repaired in under ten minutes thanks to its "Gen 2 repairability" design. Users can easily replace components like the screen, battery, and charging port using standard iFixit kits. Spare parts will be available directly from HMD.

    Pricing and Availability

    The HMD Skyline is available for €499, $499, or £399. For self-repairs, the display is priced at $95, the battery cover at $30, the battery at $25, and the charging port at $20. An initial iFixit kit is available for an additional $5.


  • Samsung Galaxy S24 FE Dummy Reveals 2020s Mid-Range Bezels

    Samsung Galaxy S24 FE Dummy Reveals 2020s Mid-Range Bezels

    The Samsung Galaxy S24 FE, a part of the S24 series, has been highlighted in renders showcasing its design, which mirrors that of its sibling models. Recently, tipster xleaks7 and Teleprompter collaborated to reveal live photos of a dummy unit of the Galaxy S24 FE.

    In contrast to the S23 FE’s slightly rounded frame, the S24 FE features a flat side frame. At the back, it houses a standard triple-lens camera setup accompanied by a flashlight.

    Front Design and Dimensions

    The front of the S24 FE displays noticeable bezels, with an especially thick chin bezel. This is somewhat underwhelming for a sub-flagship device, particularly when many mid-range smartphones now offer symmetrical bezels. Additionally, the front includes a central punch-hole cutout for selfies and an earpiece at the top. The dimensions of the Galaxy S24 FE are 162.06 x 77.36 x 8.05 mm, making it slightly longer, wider, and thinner compared to the S23 FE, which measures 158.0 x 76.5 x 8.2 mm.

    Specifications and Performance

    Expected to sport a 6.65-inch AMOLED display, the Galaxy S24 FE will likely be powered by an Exynos 2400 chip. On Geekbench, this chip scored 2,047 in single-core and 6,289 in multi-core tests. The software package includes Android 14-based OneUI 6.1, integrating AI features.

    The camera system is anticipated to mirror that of the S24 and S23 FE models, featuring a 50MP main camera, a 10MP telephoto lens, and a 12MP ultrawide lens, with both the main and telephoto lenses supporting OIS.

    Battery and Charging

    Battery and charging specifications are expected to remain consistent with previous models, featuring a 4,500mAh battery, 25W fast charging, and 15W wireless charging.
