HMD Global launches Fusion, a modular smartphone for customizable upgrades

HMD Global has launched the HMD Fusion, a modular smartphone that allows users to customize and upgrade their devices over time. This phone stands out in a crowded market by enabling owner-repairability and the use of interchangeable "Smart Outfits," which enhance functionality. The first Smart Outfit, called the Flashy, adds a ring light for improved photography. It connects easily to the phone and is powered by its battery. However, the Fusion must always be used with a case, which may limit its appeal. The HMD Fusion features a Qualcomm Snapdragon 4 Gen 2 processor and offers various RAM options. While it has some performance issues and a lower-quality display, it aims to provide a customizable experience that could attract users interested in modular technology.
