HMD Skyline runs Geekbench, confirms Snapdragon 7s Gen 2 chipset

2024-06-18

HMD is working on a device dubbed Skyline, which looks suspiciously like a Lumia phone. This device will allegedly be powered by the Snapdragon 7s Gen 2, which is confirmed by the first Geekbench results.

The motherboard is listed as “Tomcat”, which is a code name for the Skyline (we’re not sure whether Skyline is the retail name). The phone runs Android 14 with 8GB of RAM, based on info recorded by Geekbench.

Based on the previous leak, this will allegedly retail for €460 in an 8/256GB configuration (and €520 for a Business Edition). It will have a 120Hz OLED display with FHD+ resolution and a triple rear camera (108+8+2MP) and 32MP on the front. The Skyline will have a 4,900mAh battery with 33W fast charging and will be rated IP67.

There are other models on the way: a cheaper HMD Nighthawk (€300), which will also have a 108MP main camera but with a lower-end Snapdragon 4 Gen 2 chip and the HMD Atlas (also SD 4 Gen 2, but a lower-res 48MP main camera).
