Business edition gives more OS updates. Honestly the Skyline is a massive step in the right direction from HMDs Nokia branded devices. If you’re not an intensive mobile gamer, there really is a lot to like here. Shame there’s no headphone jack, but the design is super cool and functional. Hats off to HMD. Keep more of the same coming. Hopefully the lumia design will filter down to cheaper models too.

I think the logic of it was Microsoft killed the Nokia name with the crash of their Windows phone platform, where Nokia was the worst victim of it. Then the android Nokias weren't really big hits either, this seems like a very decent device with well rounded specs and a really appealing design and they wanted to seperate from that bad past. A quick google search and people can see that HMD is basically good old Nokia.

I hope they extend this design philosophy to future flagship models, ideally with a top-notch camera and, most importantly, several years of updates like Samsung and Google offer nowadays. Lastly, the collaboration with iFixit is extremely promising. I hope they continue down this path and that it doesn’t just turn into a gimmick.

HMD... and they had only pumped out low end phones so far. So this is truly the right phone at the right time for me! Well done HMD you legends!
