## Description

HMD Skyline is greater than the sum of its parts. It looks stunning. It feels great. Its cameras will have you and your subjects popping, and it's really, really easy torepair. It's from creative minds, for creative minds.

Review: Excellent value for money. - Human Mobile Devices, formally Nokia, now produce excellent mid range mobile phones, well equipped, and very affordable. Highly recommended.
Review: This will amaze you - all this for that price. - I wish there were more stars. I had to give up a pixel 8 pro and downsize. I had a galaxy A17 for a week (DDDownsizEEE) and couldn't cope. I met an old mate who said try the HMD skyline. It has surpassed every expectation, it's fast, with a clear screen, no fancy software to confuse you and camera which will stun you. Take a picture outside in the dark and on of your pet then zoom in ... If you dont go wow get your credit card and buy those 'market leading' phones at 4x the price or more! I cannot recommend this phone highly enough.
