HMD’s next modular smartphone might be right around the corner. According to a leak shared by HMD Meme on X, the upcoming HMD Fusion 2 will bring notable upgrades to both its display and processor, while keeping the modular concept that made the original Fusion stand out.
The new model reportedly moves to a 6.58-inch Full HD+ display with a smoother 120Hz refresh rate, a nice step up from the Fusion’s 6.56-inch HD+ 90Hz panel.
Under the hood, HMD is said to be swapping out the Snapdragon 4 Gen 2 for the Qualcomm Snapdragon 6s Gen 4.
On the camera side, HMD seems to be taking a sensible approach. The Fusion 2 will keep its 108MP main sensor, but the 2MP secondary lens is reportedly being replaced with a much more useful 8MP ultra-wide camera.
Other features of the phone could include IP65 water and dust resistance, NFC, Bluetooth 5.3, and, thankfully, a 3.5mm headphone jack.
The Smart Outfits Gen 2
But what makes the Fusion series special isn’t the specs, it’s the modular “Smart Outfits.” The smartphone is likely to feature two-way magnetic pins on the back that let users attach different cases for different use cases.
Speaking of which, HMD is reportedly expanding this lineup with the new Smart Outfits Gen 2, said to include a Wireless Charge Outfit, Gaming Outfit, Camera Grip Outfit, Speaker Outfit, and even a Smart Projector Outfit. There’s also a Casual Outfit with a Kickstand, a Rugged Outfit, and a Flashy Outfit for users who want a touch of style.
HMD also lets users 3D print their own custom designs using the open-source Fusion Development Toolkit, which was introduced for the first-gen Fusion. It’s likely the same support will continue with the Fusion 2.
There’s no official launch date yet. We will keep you posted as soon as we hear more about it.
