HMD kicked off the Android 15 rollout last year with the Pulse Pro. Today, the Finnish company extends the availability of the software upgrade to another mid-range phone, the HMD Skyline.
Although the phone manufacturer has not made any official announcement, YTECHB reports the HMD Skyline units in Finland are now eligible for Android 15 update. The changelog confirms that this is a huge update, so make sure you have at least 3.3 GB of free storage before trying to upgrade your HMD Skyline to Android 15.
The list of changes doesn’t seem to include anything that might be unique to HMD phones, just the usual new features and improvements that we already know about. Android 15 brings into the mix. If you use a Skyline HMD as your daily driver, here’s what you’ll get in this update:
Performance Improvement
- Enjoy a faster, smoother experience with optimized system performance, including faster app launch times, reduced lag, and improved battery life.
Privacy and security upgrades
- With stricter app permissions, automatic permission resets, and improved data encryption, Android 15 offers industry-leading privacy protection, keeping your data safe.
Adaptive Battery Improvements
- The update includes smarter power management, extending battery life by learning your usage habits and allocating resources more efficiently.
Advanced notification control
- A more refined notification system gives users more control over which apps and events can send alerts, improving focus and reducing distractions.
