Social media has woven itself into the fabric of our daily lives, connecting us with loved ones and keeping us informed about current events and trends. Despite these benefits, the overwhelming flow of information and the pressure to stay constantly connected can sometimes impact our mental and physical well-being negatively. That’s where a social media detox can be incredibly helpful.
A social media detox involves taking a break from using social media platforms for a set amount of time, which could range from a few days to several weeks, depending on what feels right for you. The goal of this detox is to cut down on screen time, limit distractions, and refocus on more meaningful aspects of life.
HMD’s new device, the HMD Skyline, features an innovative detox mode that blocks apps and contacts, helping users to minimize digital interactions and engage more fully with the world around them. This feature was developed in response to a study conducted by the brand, which revealed that many parents are concerned about the excessive use of mobile phones by young people aged 12 to 27.
As the trend towards digital detoxes grows, especially among Gen-Z, the Skyline stands out with its advanced features compared to other brands, which typically only mute apps and notifications. The Skyline is available in two stylish colors, Neon Pink and Twisted Black, and boasts up to a 48-hour battery life along with Qi2 magnetic charging for easy wireless charging. It’s available now at hmd.com and will be in stores this August, starting at KES 58,000.
