  • A leaker has claimed that the HMD Skyline 2 is on the way and will launch in July.
  • This would be the sequel to the original Skyline, which is still the only Android phone with Qi 2 MPP support.
  • This means the phone can wirelessly charge and attach to accessories with the aid of integrated magnets.

The HMD Skyline is the only Android phone to support the Qi 2 magnetic power profile (MPP) standard. This means the phone can wirelessly charge with the aid of built-in magnets. By contrast, phones from OnePlus, OPPO, and Samsung require a case to use Qi 2 MPP accessories.

Now, leaker smashx_60 on Twitter has claimed that the HMD Skyline 2 is on the way. The tipster adds that the phone will launch in July 2025. So we still have a while to wait until we reach the phone’s apparent release window.
