HMD Skyline lauded as Most Repairable Smartphone of 2024

www.notebookcheck.net Just a moment...

I was about to buy this phone as a Christmas gift to someone who was a fan of the Nokia Lumia phones, but the high reparability makes little sense when the software support is only for two years from the phone's release date.
- Do we know how open it is in terms of bootloader, firmware, and whatever else is required for ongoing custom ROM support? Repairability is software as well as hardware!
  
  I did look into this while researching the phone, while still knowing that it is not a practical approach for most people. However, HMD phones are absent from the custom firmware scene.
  
  E: Instead, I found a lot of news articles on HMD's erratic update schedules for its phones.
