Summary

  • Leaked Skyline 2 specs point to a modest refresh rather than a major overhaul, with HMD keeping the original phone’s familiar design in blue, black and yellow.
  • Snapdragon 7s Gen 4 leads the upgrade list, paired with 8GB or 12GB of RAM, 256GB of expandable storage, a 144Hz OLED display and 2,000-nit peak brightness.
  • Camera hardware includes a 108MP main sensor with OIS, 50MP telephoto, 50MP ultrawide and a 50MP front camera, while charging is capped at 40W wired.
  • Built-in magnets for wireless charging are also set to remain, suggesting HMD is prioritizing continuity as the two-year-old Skyline line gets a successor.
