HMD Fusion Expert Review Summary
Expert Rating:
![Dhruv Joshi]()
Verdict
While the HMD Fusion introduces distinct concepts like better repairability and modular accessories at aggressive pricing, it offers an average multimedia experience due to a subpar display. It is ideal for users who enjoy customising their devices. For anyone looking for an affordable and dependable device, it provides passable performance.
Pros
- Unique modular design
- Good battery life
- Repairability
- Clean OS
Cons
- Poor multimedia experience
- Only one OS update
Repairability
+
The big claim HMD Fusion puts forward is its Gen 2 repairability, and to be fair the device can walk the talk. From what I saw on iFixit's repair tutorials, minor fixes seem pretty straightforward if you're comfortable with electronics. I, thankfully, have some level of experience tinkering around with electronics like old phones, gaming laptops, PCs, and appliances, so the task didn't seem too daunting except for sourcing some precision screwheads.

Outfits (accessories)
+
The HMD Fusion supports various modular attachments, referred to as "outfits" by the brand. My review unit included two: the Flashy outfit and the gaming outfit, and you get both when you purchase the phone, at no additional cost. The Flashy outfit is essentially an LED light attachment that fits onto the back of the case and serves as a secondary light source for selfies or regular shots. It performs well, and you can customise the LED colours and intensity to suit your needs.

Design and display
+
The HMD Fusion has a pretty fresh take when it comes to design. The rear panel features a textured matte finish that resists fingerprints and smudges, offering a clean and practical aesthetic. It's comfortable to hold and does not feel too heavy, with exposed screws and a prominent rectangular section bearing the HMD logo, likely for battery access. This modular design is a bold choice but feels purposeful rather than gimmicky.

Cameras
+
For cameras, HMD Fusion uses a rather simple setup: a high-resolution 108MP primary camera with a 2MP depth sensor and a 50MP front camera for selfies and video calls. The phone's primary camera is quite impressive and captures detailed images in daylight conditions, though the colours have a slight warm/sepia tint to them.
Read More
Performance and software
+
The HMD Fusion uses a modest Snapdragon 4 Gen 2 chipset for all its performance needs, paired with 8GB of RAM and 256GB of storage. While the performance output is satisfactory for day-to-day usage, the device could do with a bit more power since the chipset struggles with anything too heavy. There's occasional performance dips in general usage too, though they didn't bother me too much.

Battery and charging
+
The device packs a pretty standard 5,000mAh battery and comes with 33W fast charging support, with the charging brick included. The phone's battery life is quite decent, partly due to the low-resolution display, which demands less power. The battery will easily last an entire day of use with moderate usage and scores decent in our battery benchmark test.
