HMD Skyline Review
Score: 66.3 / 100HMD Skyline is a powerful Android cellphone released in 2024, having an enormous 6.5-inches screen, and 2 cameras, a 108 MP back-facing camera and a 50 mega-pixels front side camera.
A key advantage of this phone is its 128 GB large internal storage and while it doesn't include an SD extension slot, it it is more than enough to install hundreds of applications and even the heaviest games currently available without worrying about running out of space.
This cellphone has a gorgeous design, with a thickness of just 0.35". The HMD Skyline is a very compact cellphone, given that it has a 6.5" screen and it's only 6.29 inches long and 2.98 inches wide. The HMD Skyline is available in two different color options, neon pink and twisted black. This phone design is a combination of Glass and Aluminum. It seems like forgot about optimizing the weight in this 7.37 ounces cellphone.
This device is equipped with two cameras, a 108 megapixels back facing camera and a 50 megapixels front camera. It also films 3840x2160 4K videos at 30 fps.
equipped the HMD Skyline with an absolutely amazing 6.5 inches screen, and a 1080 x 2400 resolution, which makes it impossible to even see the pixels in the screen.
The HMD Skyline comes with a 4600 mAh large Dual Nano SIM non-replaceable battery that can keep this phone running for several hours without charging it. An issue to evaluate is that this cellphone's battery is non-removable so you can't buy a new battery when it begins to get older, though with this big battery you will probably discard this phone before that happens.
This phone includes wifi connection (which can be shared with other devices around, acting as a modem), 5G incredibly high bandiwdth connection type, 4G LTE-A , a really fast data connection and also HSPA+ connectivity (which is a bit slower 4G variation) and the fastest 3G connectivity, using HSDPA technologies. The HMD Skyline uses a Nano SIM card to connect to GSM networks.
This phone also comes with a great numbre of useful characteristics such as Fingerprint ID, Wireless charging capability, NFC (Near Field Communication), Bluetooth (5.2) and GPS (Global Positioning System), and plenty of sensors like Light Sensor, Proximity Sensor, Accelerometer, Gyroscope, Barometer and Compass.
No matter if you need a cellphone for work, want a gaming phone, want it mainly for social networks and internet browsing or want this phone to take tons of photographs, this cellphone is a good choice .
