A report by HMD News claims that Finnish OEM HMD (Human Mobile Devices) is working on a smartphone that is said to be inspired by the Nokia flagship Lumia 1020 that was introduced in 2013. The publication shared a design render of this purported HMD handset. It appears with a similar box-like build as the HMD Skyline.

The rumoured HMD smartphone, however, is seen with a centre-aligned, circular rear camera module instead of the rectangular island that we see on the HMD Skyline. This circular camera unit is reminiscent of the older Nokia Lumia 1020. The module appears with five smaller slots that are tipped to house four cameras and one LED flash.
