If you were a fan of Windows Phones, prepare to be hit with a bit of nostalgia. A new leak has revealed that HMD Global is apparently working on an Android smartphone with a design reminiscent of the Nokia Lumia. The leak also reveals a list of other handsets that the company plans to launch.

A new leak from the X (formerly Twitter) account @smashx_60 (via FoneArène) spilled the beans on HMD’s upcoming handsets. The biggest leak concerns a device called HMD Skyline, which looks like a reincarnation of Nokia Lumia.

The Skyline is said to be a premium phone with a 6.67-inch FHD+ AMOLED 120Hz display with HDR10+. It is said to run on a Snapdragon 7s Gen 2 SoC, has 8GB/12GB of RAM and 256GB of storage, as well as a 4,900mAh battery with 33W wired charging (30W wireless).

The leak also mentions a triple camera setup with a 108 MP main sensor, an 8 MP ultra-wide, and a 2 MP macro or depth sensor. For the selfie shooter, it looks like it will have a 32 MP lens. Other notable features include an IP67 rating, NFC, Bluetooth 5.2, and a 3.5mm headphone jack.

According to the leak, the Skyline will be available in black, blue, yellow, and pink, with the 8GB model selling for €459 (~$491). Meanwhile, the 12GB variant is said to be available for €499 (~$534). Finally, the leak claims that this device will get three years of software updates.

Other smartphones in the works include the Waylay, Atlas, Ridge and Ridge Pro. However, it seems that the tipster was somewhat confused as to whether the Waylay is actually the Xenon HMD or not.

Despite the avalanche of information, it is still unclear when HMD plans to launch these handsets. The company recently launched the Pulse and the Vibe, with the Vibe being the one that will be released in the United States.
