However, HMD isn’t the first company to venture into modular phones. Previous attempts by other manufacturers have not seen much success, raising some scepticism about the future of this design approach. Still, HMD seems optimistic, and only time will tell if the Fusion can break the trend and carve out a niche in the market.

At launch, only the phone itself is available for purchase, with the Fusion outfits will be available between October and December. This means that early adopters will have to wait a bit before they can fully take advantage of the modular features. For those who can’t wait, HMD offers a Fusion Development Toolkit that allows users to 3D print their own designs, offering a DIY option for those who are creatively inclined.

In terms of specifications, the HMD Fusion sports a 6.56-inch IPS LCD screen with an HD+ resolution and a 90 Hz refresh rate. While this is decent, some may argue that HMD should have opted for a 120 Hz OLED display instead, given the competition. The phone has with a 108 MP main camera and a 50 MP selfie camera, making it a strong contender in the photography department.

Powering the device is the Snapdragon 4 Gen 2 chipset, which provides solid performance for a mid-range smartphone. The Fusion also comes with a 5,000 mAh battery that supports 33W wired charging, ensuring that users can quickly recharge their devices.

Overall, the HMD Fusion offers an intriguing mix of modular innovation and solid hardware. Whether the modular design will resonate with consumers remains to be seen, but for those looking for a customizable smartphone experience, the Fusion could be an exciting option.
