The Skyline is powered by a Snapdragon 7s Gen 2 chipset with 8GB or 12GB RAM options. It offers storage of 128GB or 256GB, expandable up to 512GB with a microSD card. The phone features a triple camera setup: 108 MP main, 13 MP ultra-wide, and 50 MP telephoto. The telephoto camera has 2x optical zoom and can zoom up to 4x digitally.
