HMD Global Launches Fusion with 108MP Camera, Snapdragon 4 Gen 2, and ‘Smart Outfits’ in India
Following recent teasers, HMD Global has officially launched its latest smartphone, the HMD Fusion, in the Indian market. The device brings a groundbreaking approach to smartphone customization through its ‘Smart Outfits’ technology, featuring a unique modular design. At the heart of this innovation is a specialized six-pin connector on the device’s back panel, designed to support various smart cases that not only modify the phone’s hardware capabilities but also adapt its software interface dynamically.
The company has introduced three distinct outfits: Casual, Flashy, and Gaming, each designed to cater to different user needs and preferences. For gaming enthusiasts, HMD has partnered with Digital Turbine and Aptoide in India to provide an enhanced gaming experience. This collaboration brings the Aptoide game store to the Fusion, featuring a dedicated section for controller-specific games under “Play with your HMD Gaming outfit.” Digital Turbine’s SingleTap™ technology ensures smooth game discovery and installation.
