There’s a reason why classics keep playing on the radio – and it’s the same reason why HMD adopted the Lumia design language for its latest series of phones, starting with the Skyline. The best Lumia of them all was arguably the Lumia 1020, all thanks to the impressive 41MP sensor housed in a circular camera island on the back.
HMD appears to be taking inspiration from this design for an upcoming model that has yet to be named. The centered circular island houses four lenses (and the LED flash), as seen in the leaked silhouette below:
HMD's Lumia 1020 lookalike
This isn't the HMD Hyper, which has a rectangular island in the top-left corner, just like the Skyline. And it's not the other similar-looking HMD phone that was also leaked recently. The Hyper seems to be a lower-mid-range device, anyway, while this one will likely be in the upper echelons.
We don't have any technical specifications to go on, other than the number of cameras: the Skyline was HMD's most ambitious phone in terms of cameras and the first to have a triple camera (not counting phones with macro modules). This 1020 lookalike should be HMD's first phone to feature a quad camera setup.
The Skyline's 108+50+13MP setup is certainly solid, but the overall package is lacking in some aspects. However, even this camera isn't on par with the flagship Lumias. While the Lumias lost the resolution crown years ago, the high-quality image processing that defined the Lumias (and the PureView before them) has been acquired over years of effort, so HMD has a long way to go if it wants to challenge the current camera kings.
