HMD Global, the company behind Nokia-branded phones, may launch a new mid-range smartphone called the Skyline. The details come from a Finnish publication that revealed the phone will launch in July and will be available at retailers on July 10.

The Skyline will be positioned as the more premium offering from HMD, with a rumored price tag of €520. It will be available in black with 8GB of RAM and 256GB of storage and will have dual-SIM support. The device reportedly has the model number TA-1688.

Apart from this, there are not many details revealed about the device. But the Skyline is believed to have previously been codenamed Tomacat. If this is the case, it is expected to feature an FHD+ OLED display with a smooth 120Hz refresh rate, powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 7s Gen 2 SoC.

On the back, the Skyline is likely to sport a triple-camera system, featuring a 108MP main sensor, an ultrawide lens, and a macro or depth sensor. For selfies, a 32MP camera will be on hand. 

The phone is also expected to include a 4,900mAh battery with 33W fast charging, IP67 dust, and water resistance, and come pre-installed with Android 14. Additionally, it will have an under-display fingerprint sensor and stereo speakers.

For those seeking a more budget-friendly option, HMD is also said to be working on a different device called Nighthawk. It is expected to launch under €300. 

The Nighthawk will share the same FHD+ OLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate as the Skyline but will reportedly feature a less powerful Qualcomm Snapdragon 4 Gen 2 SoC. It will come with 8GB of RAM and offer storage options of 128GB or 256GB.

The Nighthawk will also feature a 108MP main camera with one additional rear sensor, and retain the 32MP selfie camera. It will have a slightly larger 5,000mAh battery. Notably, the Nighthawk will include a headphone jack, and both devices will run Android 14 and have stereo speakers.
