Project Fusion was first announced at the MWC (Mobile World Congress) earlier this year, but HMD did not provide any further details about its new technological venture.
The project was teased back in April, but HMD was once again pretty tight-lipped about what it was all about. A few months later, the Finnish company has finally unveiled what it previously referred to as Project Fusion.
Unveiled today at IFA 2024, the HMD Fusion is the company's version of its modular smartphone. According to HMD's claims, the Fusion is the ultimate customizable smartphone. Thanks to a range of interchangeable outfits launching later this year, the HMD Fusion can be customized to suit your personal style or desired functionality.
Best of all, the HMD Fusion costs just £200/€250. Although the smartphone will initially be available in Europe, HMD is expected to bring it to the US as well, where it will cost $300.
The base model has fairly unspectacular specs, so I'd be more interested to see how much these “interchangeable outfits” will cost. In any case, those who pay the base price of €250 / $300 will get an entry-level smartphone equipped with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 4 Gen 2 processor, 4/6/8GB of RAM and 128/256GB of internal storage.
The smartphone also features a 6.56-inch IPS LCD display with HD+ resolution and 90Hz refresh rate. On the back, there is a 108-megapixel main camera paired with a 2-megapixel depth sensor. There is also a second 50-megapixel camera on the front for selfies.
HMD Fusion is powered by a 5,000mAh battery with 33W wired charging support and runs Android 14 out of the box.
In addition to the launch of this fully customizable smartphone, HMD announced the release of a software and hardware developer kit that will allow users to customize their own phone and create new use cases.
