In a world where all of us are creators and curators of content, digital creativity and real-life presence are more intertwined than ever—the stakes for smartphones are sky-high. That’s why Human Mobile Devices (HMD) has introduced a device that promises to elevate both.
Introducing, the HMD Skyline, a device crafted to turn every moment into a masterpiece without detaching you from it. Designed to meet the heightened expectations of modern users by seamlessly blending cutting-edge technology with user-centric features, the HMD Skyline underscored the purpose of our phones as not only tools for connectivity but also instruments for creativity. In other words, it’s a modern creative’s dream.
Whether you’re vlogging your daily adventures or capturing spontaneous moments with friends, the HMD Skyline is designed to be the ultimate companion (Cosmo’s Social Media Manager even took it on a Sydney Harbour Bridge Climb, so you know it’s trustworthy). The device is super lightweight and it looks great in your hand or pocket. You can choose a sleek, twisted black colourway, or use your phone as an accessory with a fun blue topaz or neon pink hue, with 12GB and 256GB options available.
What else makes the HMD Skyline so great? Check out all its fab features below—which have been tried and tested by Cosmo’s resident content queens.
HMD Skyline features...
Insta-worthy camera quality
At the heart of the HMD Skyline’s appeal is its camera system. The phone boasts a 50MP selfie camera equipped with autofocus and eye-tracking, which ensures that every selfie is sharp and vibrant. The innovative ‘selfie gesture’ tech allows you to snap a pic with a simple hand gesture, eliminating the need for timers and making solo shots effortless.
Flip the phone around and the HMD Skyline features a 108MP Hybrid OIS triple camera setup, catering to every photographic need. From x4 optical zoom for detailed close-ups to a 0.5 ultra-wide mode perfect for landscapes (or taking cheeky, high-angled shots of unsuspecting friends), the camera system is designed to capture stunning visuals in various scenarios.
Whether you want professional-looking portraits, stunning scenic shots, or funny photos of passing moments, these cams have you covered.
Fix it yourself
That’s F.I.Y, FYI.
What really sets the HMD Skyline apart is its unique repairability. The HMD Skyline introduces Gen2 repairability, a feature that empowers users to tackle common phone issues with ease.
Broken screen? No sweat—just pop it off and swap it out with a replacement part using an iFixit toolkit, all of which are super affordable. Oh, and it doesn’t stop at screens; you can fix bent charging ports, scratched backs, and tired batteries with ease. This user-friendly approach to repairs minimises the frustration often associated with tech troubles, extending the lifespan of the device and reducing electronic waste (and saving you a few hundred bucks at the mobile repair shop).
Digital detox
In addition to its hardware advancements, the HMD Skyline incorporates a soon-to-be-released “Digital Detox” function and bespoke app.
This allows you to tailor your digital detox experience and switch off when suits best. In doing so, the HMD Skyline helps you strike a balance between online and real-life engagement—because being in the moment is more important than capturing it.
