HMD Skyline is now eligible for an Android 15 update. Launched last year, the Skyline units in Finland are now prompting users to update their devices’ software to Android 15, which brings a slew of performance improvements and new features. More markets and regions are expected to join HMD’s home market for the Skyline Android 15 update in the coming days.
The latest update has the build number V2.270 and weighs in at around 3.3GB. Here is the official changelog of HMD Skyline’s Android 15 update:
Additionally, the new software update brings the December 2024 security patch for the Android ecosystem, which the company highlights is essential for the device’s security.
With the latest rollout, Skyline has become HMD’s second smartphone to receive Android 15. The HMD Pulse Pro was the first smartphone that received Android 15 last year. Since the Skyline comes with a promise of two years of OS upgrades, it will be eligible for Android 16, as well.
In related news, HMD recently discontinued selling Nokia-branded smartphones and tablets after years of struggle to keep one of the earliest phone brands afloat. HMD acquired the license to sell smartphones with Nokia branding back in 2016 from Microsoft but has since faced multiple challenges to make the brand as mainstream as it once was. Marking the death of the Nokia brand from the smartphone category was the debut of HMD’s own brand.
