Today, when you have to choose a smartphone, you are not spoiled for choice when it comes to the onboard operating system: Android Or iOS. But at a time not so long ago, a third alternative was possible, the Windows phone. Microsoft has indeed sought to break into the mobile sector with an in-house OS and the support of several manufacturers. Before disappearing completely, the range of Nokia Lumia, with its iconic design, left its mark on the minds of an entire generation. So much so that some have sought to extend their life by installing Android on it.

Those days are over and Nokia no longer offers smartphones under its name. But the manufacturer still exists under another name: HMD Global, or simply HMD. He specialized in feature phones, affordable models offered between €100 and €400. You can buy them in France recently since 3 models arrived here in April. They mark the break with the famous Finnish brand, but it seems that HMD is not completely denying its heritage. At least if we are to believe this leak concerning the HMD Skylineresembling a Nokia Lumia.
