Okay, the HMD Skyline is not a Nokia Lumia. But just like the classic, it does a few things differently to the competition. This starts with its unusual design and continues with its repairability and its own detox mode. But don't worry: it doesn't run on Windows as it did back then, but on Android...
A solid, albeit somewhat heavy smartphone that scores points with its appealing design and good feel. It delivers acceptable to good performance in all areas. However, it is held back by a stingy update policy and a user interface and camera software that could do with some fine-tuning. However, the good repairability is an unexpected bonus.
