NAIROBI, Kenya- Smartphone manufacturer Human Mobile Devices (HMD) Global has announced the launch of its latest mobile device, the HMD Skyline.
Known for producing environmentally conscious technology since its entry into the mobile phone market in 2016, HMD Global aims to reintroduce the human element into smartphones with this innovative offering.
“Human Mobile Devices is human by design, and that’s what we’ve done with HMD Skyline, put consumers first,” said Lars Silberbauer, Global Chief Marketing Officer of HMD.
The new HMD Skyline smartphone features an in-built detox mode with app and contact blocking capabilities, allowing users to reduce digital interactions and focus more on real-world experiences.
This move comes in response to a company-conducted study highlighting parental concerns over the excessive use of mobile phones by young people aged 12 to 27.
In addition to its user-centric design, the HMD Skyline boasts exceptional camera features, making it a powerhouse for content creators.
The device comes equipped with a 50-megapixel front camera and a 108-megapixel Hybrid OIS triple rear camera, enabling users to shoot 4K quality videos effortlessly.
HMD Global, currently ranked as Europe’s largest smartphone manufacturer, believes that the detox mode will offer customers a balanced smartphone experience.
By providing features that encourage users to take breaks from the online world, the HMD Skyline aims to address the growing concerns about digital overuse.
This balanced approach aligns with HMD Global’s commitment to putting the human element at the forefront of their technology.
The HMD Skyline, priced at Ksh. 58,000, is not just another smartphone; it represents a thoughtful approach to technology, prioritizing user well-being and environmental consciousness.
