HMD Global is reportedly developing the HMD Fusion, a mid-range smartphone with a familiar design. Unlike the recently leaked HMD Skyline with classic Nokia Lumia vibes, the Fusion takes cues from the existing Pulse Pro.
The Fusion is expected to boast a large 6.6-inch 1080p IPS display with a 120Hz refresh rate. Under the hood, the device will feature a Qualcomm Snapdragon 778G variant (QCM6490), likely paired with 8GB of RAM and 256GB storage. The camera system is rumored to include a high-resolution 108MP main sensor, a 2MP secondary sensor, and a 16MP front-facing camera.
A 4,800mAh battery with 30W fast charging support will be powering this upcoming smartphone. Additionally, it is said to feature WiFi 6E and a 3.5mm audio jack. All that said, what truly sets Fusion apart is the inclusion of pogo pins for modular accessories called “smart outfits.” These magnetic attachments hint at functionalities similar to Apple’s MagSafe, potentially adding features like a third rear camera, wireless charging, or even a gaming controller attachment.
The leak also mentions that the device will feature 164mm x 76mm x 8.6 mm featuring a recycled aluminium and plastic construction, while weighing 200 grams. The leak does not provide any details about the expected launch date or pricing of the HMD Fusion.
In related news, HMD Global is also working on a new tablet called the HMD Slate Tab 5G. This new tablet will feature a Nokia Lumia-inspired design, with features like a Snapdragon 7s Gen 2 SoC, a 10.6 inches 90Hz IPS display, and a large 9,250mAh battery with 30W fast charging.
