Blue Topaz HMD Skyline shines in HMD × FC Barcelona partnership debut
Human Mobile Devices are a global partner of FC Barcelona
FC Barcelona has seen some big changes lately, with new faces like Flick, Romeu, and new young players. Now, there’s another exciting new addition — not to the team, exactly. We’re thrilled to announce that Human Mobile Devices (HMD), a European smartphone innovator, is officially partnering with FC Barcelona.
This partnership is a chance to bring Barça fans even closer to their club, and we’ve kicked it off in style. In the announcement video, you’ll spot our latest smartphone, the HMD Skyline in Blue Topaz. The video stars Saul Peregrina, celebrity barber to some of the biggest football stars. This time, it’s a passionate Barça fan named Iñigo in Saul’s chair, getting an incredible haircut that combines the FC Barcelona crest with the HMD logo. It’s a celebration of passion, creativity, and of course, football.
The fan, dressed in his Barça home shirt, steps into a local Catalonian barbershop, asks for the ultimate Barça-inspired haircut, and walks out with both the FC Barcelona crest and the HMD logo proudly shaved into his hair. After admiring the work, he grabs his HMD Skyline and takes a few selfies to share with friends—because with a phone that has a 108 MP camera and a 50 MP selfie cam, those shots are going to look epic.
A partnership that brings you closer to the game
As a Global Partner and Official Mobile Phone Partner of FC Barcelona, HMD is committed to creating exciting experiences for fans. Over the next three years, you’ll see our presence grow across the Estadi Olímpici and Spotify Camp Nou (when it reopens), as well as on FC Barcelona’s digital channels, which reach an impressive 468 million fans globally. But that’s not all — our partnership goes beyond football and extends to FC Barcelona’s basketball, futsal, handball, and roller hockey teams. So, no matter what sport you love, you’ll be seeing a lot more of HMD.
HMD Skyline in Blue Topaz
Our new Blue Topaz version of the HMD Skyline is quite a looker. Back in July, we launched the repairable smartphone worldwide in Neon Pink and Twisted Black color variants. Now, the stunning Blue Topaz version gives you a choice of three colors to choose from. But it’s about more than just style — as fans of FCB know, it’s about performance.
HMD Skyline is a sleek, premium smartphone built for creators. With its 108 MP main camera and 50 MP selfie camera, you can capture every moment of your game-day experience in stunning detail. HMD Skyline is empowering, too. With its repair-it-yourself design,¹ you can replace parts like the screen and the battery right in your living room.
Watch this space
Later this year, we’re bringing Detox Mode to HMD Skyline. It’s a feature that helps you turn off notifications and stop scrolling during game time, so you can focus on the match without distractions. As for more HMD × FC Barcelona announcements, stay tuned — there’s more to come.
