The phone is powered by a Snapdragon 7s Gen 2. HMD unveiled Skyline, the most powerful own-branded phone yet. It has a design reminiscent of the Nokia N9...

    This one has 3 cameras. 1 108MP main camera, 13MP ultra wide, 50MP 2x telephoto. The battery is small at 4600mah but supports 15w qi2 magnetic wireless charging and slow 33w wired charging. Display supports 144hz refresh rate.

    Snapdragon 7s gen 2 may not be fast alongside the 33w charging. But, repairability takes front seat here with gen 2 repairability. Plus, unlike most smartphones actually supports an sdcard. Unfortunately, updates take a back seat with 3 years max.

    IMO a good repairable smartphone with some compromises mainly the processor and the software update support.

      I don’t see how this has any resemblance to the n9 though, kind of weird to pick that phone to compare it to.

        Really? I think they share a lot of resemblance.

        Flat top/bottom, curved sides, extremely N9-like corners, coloured body of the phone being visible on the front, even the colour lines up with a couple of N9 colour options.

      You never can have both, a fast SoC that will be performing well in 5 years and repairability.

        Why not? Anything at dimensity 8300/Snapdragon 7+gen 2, or higher should last for 5 years without issue.
