Human Mobile Devices, a European smartphone manufacturer and makers of Nokia phones, has announced the launch of its HMD Skyline 5G mobile phone in Saudi Arabia. The device is now available in stores, offering consumers an innovative smartphone experience.

Previously going by the acronym HMD, the company rebranded as Human Mobile Devices at the beginning of 2024. Alongside this transformation, they unveiled a new partnership strategy, collaborating with a lineup of global lifestyle brands to launch a collection of bespoke phones. Human Mobile Devices is also committed to enhancing its market-leading initiatives in self-repairability, and digital detox tech, further solidifying its innovative approach.

Affirming its new ambitious global marketing strategy, HMD recently announced a landmark agreement with FC Barcelona, becoming the club’s official mobile phone partner. This strategic partnership will strengthen HMD’s presence in the global market, while aligning with one of the world’s most iconic football clubs.

Sanmeet Singh Kochhar, vice president of HMD in the AMEA region, said: “We are excited about the launch of the HMD Skyline, a device we believe will redefine the mobile market in Saudi Arabia. Designed with Gen Z in mind, the HMD Skyline combines cutting-edge technology, sustainable design and easy repairability — making it the perfect choice for young tech-savvy consumers.”

HMD Skyline is equipped with a 108 MP main camera with OIS, a 50 MP telephoto and 13 MP ultrawide lens. It captures breathtaking night shots, vibrant colors, and crisp 4X zoom — all while keeping your wallet happy. Whether you are shooting in low light or zooming in for detailed closeups, HMD Skyline ensures your photos stand out in any setting. Tailored for content creators, its camera capabilities are perfect for photographers looking to impress.

The 50 MP AI selfie camera is perfect for effortless vlogging, live streaming, snapping and social media content creation. It comes with autofocus and eye-tracking to ensure the sharpest of selfies, and with Skyline, creators do not even need to press a button or set a timer to take a picture. The device comes with in-built “selfie gesture” tech, which means all users have to do is to look at the phone while making the universal peace sign (or one of three other hand signs) to activate the shot. You can also create video selfies in slow-mo and 4k.

This sleek smartphone is equipped with an innovative built-in detox mode, complete with customizations and contact blocking features. Users can tailor their detox experience, allowing them to focus on the real world and enjoy a balanced smartphone experience whenever they need a break from the digital noise.
