Finnish smartphone manufacturer HMD Global has officially expanded its Android 15 rollout, now making the update available for the HMD Skyline, its second phone to receive this significant software upgrade. The rollout follows last year's introduction of Android 15 for the Pulse Pro. Although HMD did not publicly announce the update, tech news outlet YTECHB reported that units of the HMD Skyline in Finland are now eligible for the upgrade. Before initiating the update, users should ensure they have a minimum of 3.3 GB of free storage, as this update is quite substantial.
The Android 15 update includes several new features aimed at enhancing user experience. Here’s a breakdown of what HMD Skyline users can expect:
Performance Boost
Experience a faster, smoother operation with optimized system performance, including quicker app launch times, reduced lag, and enhanced battery life.
Privacy and Security Upgrades
Benefit from stronger app permissions, automatic permission resets, and improved data encryption, ensuring top-notch privacy protection for your data.
Adaptive Battery Improvements
Enjoy smarter power management that extends battery life by learning user habits and allocating resources more efficiently.
Advanced Notification Control
The revamped notification system allows for greater control over which apps and events can send alerts, aiding in increased focus and reduced distractions.
In addition to the new features, the update also incorporates the December 2024 security patch. It's important to note that major Android updates typically roll out in stages; thus, even if you reside in Finland and own the HMD Skyline, the update might not be available to you immediately. HMD has been relatively slow in upgrading its devices to Android 15, but with this latest rollout, there is hope for improved pace in the coming weeks as more devices receive the long-awaited updates.
