NTI: HMD Global has launched its latest smartphone, HMD Fusion, in India, aiming to bring premium features at a competitive price. The phone offers advanced modular capabilities, a feature previously seen in flagship models like the Xiaomi 14 Ultra, priced at ₹1,00,000. With a launch price of ₹15,999, HMD Fusion stands out for its value-for-money proposition.
Key Features of HMD Fusion
- Impressive Cameras
The smartphone is equipped with a 108MP rear camera and a 50MP front-facing selfie camera, promising high-quality photography. Advanced features like Night Mode 3.0 and gesture-based selfie options make it a versatile choice for photo enthusiasts. - Modular Support
HMD Fusion introduces smart modular outfits, allowing users to customize the phone for their needs. The pogo pins in the phone enable easy connectivity with modular components.- Flashy Outfit: Includes a foldable RGB LED flash ring light for enhanced photography.
- Gaming Outfit: Enhances the gaming experience with improved controls and performance.
- Display and Performance
- Screen: The phone sports a 6.56-inch HD+ HID display with a 90Hz refresh rate for smooth visuals.
- Processor: Powered by the Snapdragon 4 Gen 2 chipset, it ensures efficient performance.
- Memory: Comes with 8GB RAM and 256GB storage, expandable with virtual memory support.
- Right-to-Repair Feature
Users can repair the phone themselves, including components like the display, battery, and charging port, using basic tools like a screwdriver. This feature not only increases the phone’s lifespan but also aligns with sustainability goals.
Pricing and Availability
HMD Fusion is priced at ₹15,999 as part of its launch offer, available exclusively on Amazon India starting November 29. After the introductory period, the price will increase to ₹17,999. The modular outfits are priced at ₹5,999 each.
Why It Stands Out
By offering premium features like modular outfits, repairability, and high-end camera capabilities at an affordable price, HMD Fusion competes directly with much more expensive models. It’s a game-changer in the mid-range smartphone segment, appealing to photography enthusiasts, gamers, and tech-savvy users alike.
