HMD Global just launched the HMD Fusion, the company’s latest smartphone in India after teasers. It has a modular design with a six-pin connector on the back to enable new kinds of cases that add to the phone’s functionality. HMD is calling it ‘Smart Outfits’.
Each outfit instantly alters the hardware and software of the phone, unlocking new capabilities, unique interfaces and enhanced performance, says the company.
These include Casual Outfit, Flashy outfit, and Gaming Outfit aligning with the numerous utility and aesthetic factor for the users. To further enhance the HMD Gaming Outfit experience, HMD has partnered with Digital Turbine and Aptoide in India. This collaboration brings the Aptoide game store to HMD Fusion, offering users access to the world’s leading mobile games.
In addition, the Aptoide store will have a dedicated section for “Play with your HMD Gaming outfit” for users to download the controller-specific games. With Digital Turbine’s SingleTap™ technology, HMD users can enjoy a seamless game discovery experience and frictionless installation.
DT and Aptoide have been collaborating since 2022, leveraging each company’s technology to build new and innovative distribution products for mobile operator, OEM, and app developer clients. “Paired with the HMD Fusion Gaming Outfit, featuring physical buttons and joysticks for precise gameplay, this partnership transforms the device into a haven for gaming enthusiasts,” said the company.
The phone has Gen2 repairability with easy display, back cover, battery and charging port repairs using only a screwdriver. This feature reduces e-waste and extends the lifespan of the device.
