HMD Global has released its latest smartphone, the HMD Fusion. This innovative device offers users a unique and customizable experience. Yes, like the CMF Phone (1), it’s modular. So, you can get more out of the design.
The HMD Fusion comes in two storage options: 128GB with 6GB of RAM for €269.99 and 256GB with 8GB of RAM for €299.99. It is currently available for purchase directly from HMD Global in European markets.
HMD Fusion Has a Modular Design and Entry-level Specs
As mentioned earlier, one of the HMD Fusion’s standout features is its modular design. This allows users to customize the phone’s functionality and appearance. You can use interchangeable covers called “Fusion Outfits.” These outfits aren’t just for the aesthetics, though. They can also add various features to the phone, such as wireless charging, enhanced protection, and a ring light.
This modularity provides users with a high degree of flexibility and personalization. So, you can tailor the HMD Fusion to your specific needs and preferences. However, these Fusion Outfits aren’t available yet. The company plans to begin sales of these modular parts in Q4 of this year.
Beyond the Modular Design
The HMD Fusion boasts a semi-transparent plastic shell that not only looks sleek but also facilitates easy repairs. Similar to the HMD Skyline, the Fusion allows for quick access to the battery, screen, and other essential components. HMD has also committed to providing spare parts through iFixit for the next seven years, ensuring long-term durability and repairability.
In terms of display, the Fusion features a 6.56-inch IPS LCD panel with HD+ resolution and a 90Hz refresh rate. For selfies, there’s a 50MP front-facing camera. On the back, you’ll find a 108MP main camera paired with a 2MP depth sensor. The main camera offers electronic image stabilization (EIS), a dedicated night mode with RAW image processing, and AI HDR for capturing stunning photos in various lighting conditions.
Powering the HMD Fusion is a Snapdragon 4 Gen 2 chipset, ensuring smooth and efficient performance. The device comes with options for 6GB or 8GB of RAM, along with 128GB or 256GB of internal storage. If you need more space, you can expand the storage using a microSD card.
On the software front, the Fusion runs Android 14, providing a modern and user-friendly interface. HMD has also pledged to offer two years of OS upgrades and three years of security updates, ensuring that your device stays up-to-date and protected.
Keeping the lights on is a 5,000mAh battery that supports 33W charging, allowing for quick and convenient top-ups.
