HMD Skyline looks like Nokia Lumia from the outside and has maximum repairability from the inside

After the acquisition of the Nokia brand to continue its smartphones and the tremendous improvement HMD has made in repairability on models like the Nokia G22, the new HMD Skyline It prefers to stay away from the Nokia name without deviating from its design lines. It is quite repairable with its sufficient quality hardware and a design reminiscent of jewels like the Nokia Lumia 1020.

The fever to revive the classics has led HMD to bring its current models, such as the Nokia 3210 or the Nokia 3310, both updated and with special attention to price. Since HMD has decided to move away from its highest range of phones, its strategy is as follows: Promote yourself as a sustainable producer. In fact, the new HMD Skyline even lets you replace the screen by removing a few screws. And not only that.
