HMD Global has brought the HMD Skyline to the Philippines after its global debut last July. Priced at PHP 24,990 (~$437) for the 12GB RAM and 256GB storage model, it’s available for even less—PHP 22,990 (~$402)—during a limited-time sale on Shopee, Lazada, and TikTok Shop.
The pricing is significantly lower than its European price of €599 (~$659 or PHP 37,650). The HMD Skyline comes in two colors: Neon Pink and Twisted Black.
Here’s a quick look at the HMD Skyline: it’s designed with sustainability and repairability in mind. HMD Global has made the phone almost entirely modular, so you can easily replace parts like the battery, screen, or back cover yourself.
The phone also features a customizable side button for quick access to your favorite apps.
On the performance side, it’s powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 7s Gen 2 processor and boasts a 120Hz OLED display. The device supports 33-watt wired charging and 15-watt Qi2 wireless charging, with a magnetic alignment system similar to Apple’s Mag Safe.
