They say that nostalgia is a very powerful weapon for marketing departments, and this is exactly what HMD Global, the parent company in charge of distributing the latest Nokia launched on the market, must have thought. Despite its inactivity, several sources claim that the company is working on a new smartphone with the essence of the legendary Nokia Lumia 1020.
This device, despite being tremendously popular, did not achieve what Nokia expected, mainly because of its operating system. At that time, the Finnish company was betting on Windows Phone, an OS that almost no one wanted it and shortly after it ended with a ridiculous fee because of the rise of Android.
And there is the key to the return, the copy of the Nokia Lumia 1020 that the company is working on will have Android 14. In addition, its list of features would be updated with a new processor, a good amount of RAM and a much more advanced screen than that of his counterpart 12 years ago.
In fact, the new HMD Skylinewhich is the name with which the device has been leaked, is located in a good mid-range place thanks to several key aspects such as its screen, the processor and the triple rear camera. Unfortunately, the price advanced by the source of the news is not encouraging at all.
The return of the Nokia Lumia 1020, now with Android
And yes, as we can read in GizchinaHMD Global would be preparing a new mid-range Android based on the design of the Nokia Lumia 1020. This device, beyond the design, would have little to do with the legendary Windows Phone (WP) launched in 2012, as it updates each of its features to position itself as a quite competent smartphone today.
The leaked image opens that forgotten memory of Lumia 1020 in yellow with a large camera on the back and the interface full of colored squares due to the use of WP. On the new device, the front is updated to include thinner bezels and a front camera located in a hole, but the yellow edges are still present.
Unfortunately, there are no images that show the back of this terminal, so it is not possible to know if it will maintain the appearance of photo camera thanks to its gigantic module with a great lens and a predominant LED flash. Of course, the source affirms that its camera will be triple and will be commanded by a 108 MP sensor.
The available colors have also been leaked: blue, yellow, pink and green. In addition to a long list of supposed characteristics that consolidate it as an interesting option beyond design.

- FullHD+ resolution
- 120Hz refresh rate
- Qualcomm Snapdragon 7s Gen 2 processor
- 12 GB of RAM
- 256 GB internal storage
- Triple rear camera

- 2 MP- macro
- 32 MP front camera

A price to pay for nostalgia
The leak does not end there, since the cited source affirms that the The price of this HMD Skyline or Nokia Lumia 1020 2.0 would be between 522 and 539 euros. Although the device seems interesting, its list of features does not justify such a high figure.
Now, it could be great news for lovers of the original company that opted for Windows Phone and it didn’t quite work out. Now they will have the opportunity to use a current and popular operating system with that design that you liked so much.
