HMD Fusion Review

Though its screen is far from great, being able to replace it (or a busted battery) makes the HMD Fusion an easy recommendation.

Wonderful repairability and customizability ; Eye-catching design ; Generally fine performance

Below-average display ; No wide-angle rear camera

Though its screen is far from great, being able to replace it (or a busted battery) makes the HMD Fusion an easy recommendation for families, accident-prone people, budget seekers and eco-warriors alike.

HMD Fusion Review: A Cheap Modular Android Phone

The modular phone concept returns, and it's rather boring.

Solid performance. Modular “outfits” are a nice idea. Repairable with parts available for 7 years. Daylong battery.

Limited software support. Screen doesn't get very bright. Boring design, even if you can change the back. Initial “outfits” are a little uninspiring.

HMD Fusion Review

HMD's Fusion is an interesting and unique entry in India's budget segment.

Slim IP54-rated design ; Well-designed modular accessories ; Relatively fast charging
