The Skyline boasts a powerful camera system, catering to a Gen Z audience. The 50MP front-facing camera offers autofocus and eye-tracking for sharp selfies. It even includes “selfie gesture” technology, allowing users to activate the camera with hand gestures instead of buttons.
The rear camera system features a 108MP main sensor with Optical Image Stabilization (OIS) for clear photos in various lighting conditions. Portrait mode offers natural-looking background blur, and zoom capabilities include a 4x option with AI enhancement for detailed close-ups.
