When is the fusion going to get android 15 like other manufacturers .
Surely stock android should have timely updates, there's much less programming involved.

Anonymous, 13 Mar 2025Yes i have same issue. It happend after january patch.That's kind of good news and bad as I sent the phone back thinking it was faulty.
I fully updated the phone when I got it, so never tried the speakers before it was updated .
I wonder what could have possibly of been in the security patch to cause this issue, however it looks like HMD have done this before on their nokia 5.3 , apparently!.

I'm really upset, I just bought the phone today and the sound from the loudspeaker fluctuates up and down in all apps (including YouTube) and at times even sound like it turns off completely , it's extremely annoying to listen to and spoils the content. It's even more prominent when the volume is set below 50%.
Theres no setting that stop this from happening and turning off OZO doesn't help either.
Anyone else experiencing the same issue or is it just mine.

Everyone keeps saying this is a modular phone, but I just looked at a disassembly guide and it's just a normal phone with a screw down back cover rather than glued.
The camera unit is completely exposed if you undo the back, leaving it acceptable to dust and fingerprints, the power button ribbon would be extremely easy to tear if your an amateur, not to mention your static electricity from your fingers touching the mainboard, the batteries not modular either.
I assume the original concept phone was modular, as on HMD global website they show an animation blowing it apart and clearly demonstrates it has a screw in battery.
A little false advertising going on there in my opinion .

You literally cannot sell a 720p phone even for 100 euros in 2025.Forget it for 220 euros. At that point only thing stopping them from bankrupting is taxpayers money they get for from EU.

Only challenge I am facing is, no back cover available in Amazon or Flipkart (in India). Have to survive with what has been given along with the box.
If available anywhere (India), please share the link.
Thanks in advance.

Terrible specs for the money... Full HD Video 30 FPS that sounds like a joke, and that 720P display also... you can get Poco X6 Pro for like 20 bucks more, which is waaaay beter phone...

Anonymous, 04 Dec 2024Question for those who have used this phone -
Aside from... moreNo. Quality is substandard, and Only 2 years of os/3 years of security updates (from the time of global release, according to hmd). What's the point of having repairable/replaceable hardware when software support is short term.
The outfits are gimmicks & won't likely receive much attention or innovation, because hmd won't be able to sell many handsets due to the mediocrity of the phone & specs. Also, Motorola has already had a modular system in the past with their Z line. So this isn't some ground breaking innovation by hmd.
The moto g75 is priced the same, but has a much better chipset and longer software support. Same with the moto g55 that's actually more cheaper than the hmd fusion, but more powerful. Both these motos are offering a near stock android experience.

I've had this phone (8GB/256GB Business Edition) for couple of days now and I do like it so far. My last phone was Nokia 8.1 from HMD. I was worried about the screen and went to check this phone out in person to fiddle with it a bit. I couldn't find any noticeable difference to my previous Nokia and there was a bit more screen estate available in HMD Fusion. It feels good enough for this price. I spent about 10 minutes comparing it to Nokia 8.1 and HMD Skyline and decided to buy the Fusion Business Edition model.
I'm casual user of mobile phones. I don't play games or spend hours a day using it. I mostly browse web, watch a couple of hours of videos/streams in a week and use basic apps. I think the device fits well in the mid range phone category with 319€ price tag. We used to be able to buy high end mobile phones in this price range couple of years ago but sadly that's no longer the case.
I'm also mobile app/software developer and 3D printing enthusiast so the third selling point were those pogo pins and "outfits". The main selling points for me were almost stock android, five years of security updates and easy repairability.
When it comes to performance or snappiness I feel that it's very responsive and fast, the screen registers touch super well. There was almost four gigabytes of software updates that I had to do before setting the phone up properly. It's possible that some problems mentioned in these comments by others have been fixed in the latest updates since I haven't been able to find any bugs or problems with the device so far.
So far I'd give it 4.5/5 score. If you need to game on mobile and be glued to the screen all day I think you will have to look for phone in 600-1500€ price range. My personal view is that for features it offers at the price it's available they really thought this phone out well.

HeyDudes, 27 Nov 2024Do you like the phone? Thinking of trying one. I'm n... moreI think it is a distinctive device that is pleasant to use, however the HD+ screen and the weak GPU of the 4 Gen 2 chipset let it down.
It also depends what region you are in, Indian customers are receiving the 'Outfits' alongside the device whereas here in the UK/Europe the outfits are still not available and seem to be quite expensive.
While HMD have made the API accessible to devs, I also think the lack of SDK will limit potential outfits from either other businesses or a user community.

This phone has same issue as Nokia g42. Touch screen response is slow n laggy. Does not respond to touches taps properly. Very cheap screen is used. Frustrating to use. Touch response feels like 30hz an not usual 180hz as other phones.
I have same issue with call auto answering. Software update not yet fix. Very frustrating. Hard reset 2 times but same problem.

It says here and on official product pages that the HMD Fusion has wi-fi 6 (ax), yet the SOC itself supports only wi-fi 5. That is weird. And, yes, it does have a 3.5mm jack. A cousin of mine handled one in the UK; she and many reviewers have noted the presence of a 3.5mm jack.
One more thing to note: The Europe version supports esim. Whether the Indian variant also supports esim remains to be seen. However, there is no mention of esim support on the Indian product page. The Indian variant also supports far fewer frequency bands than the international variants.
