Human Mobile Devices (HMD) on Monday (November 25, 2024) launched the HMD Fusion smartphone with a customisable modular back design called the ‘smart outfits’ in India. With a repairable and attachable customisable back cover, the Finnish tech startup aims to compete with Nothing’s sub brand CMF that offers a similar back structure.

The ‘smart outfits’ includes casual outfit, flashy outfit, and gaming outfit using six smart pins with utility and aesthetic factor. For the HMD gaming outfit experience, HMD has partnered with Digital Turbine and Aptoide in India. 

The HMD Fusion is also the brand’s third smartphone in India with its own branding. It also sells Nokia phones in the country.

The HMD Fusion comes with repairability design that allows users to replace display, battery, or charging port. This feature reduces e-waste and extends the lifespan of the device, said HMD.
