The Fusion seems very interesting and has a lot of potential, but no doubt the chipset and display will have people questioning those decisions.
In terms of the display, a) they obviously had surplus parts from the Pulse series (the screen actually has a good contrast ratio for an LCD), but b) I think they chose HD+ resolution for battery reasons: if the pogo pins on the back can output up to 5V then HMD want to limit battery drain in other ways.
Hopefully there will be a more powerful version if this device proves its worth and its possible to get partners on board to design more accessories. I really like the concept because I often end up using different phones for different purposes: e.g. daily use, photography, a rugged phone when hiking etc.

Even sony, leader in this field, downgrade their standard.

I know where the 'fusion' part comes from.
They fused together all the worst solutions and cheapest available parts from the Chinese market into one HorriblyMadeDevice.

I understand the target audience very well, what I want to know is why do you think that people who wants a repairable phone don't deserve a good screen? Midrangers from 4 years ago been using FHD+ and now it's the standard, 720p is justified only if the device is below €200, but ofcourse you wouldn't get any of that cuz you decided to play HMD's white knight.
"They can use a device for over 5 years"
*software support 2 years* xD

They're attempting to make a Nubia Neo alternative for the global market, and I don't think it's bad. An ultrawide with a SD 6 series chipset (as long as it isn't a SD695 rebrand) would've made this phone a bit more compelling imho.

Sanic72, 06 Sep 2024Clearly you have never seen a 720p & a 1.5k smartphone ... moreit is very obvious that you don't have understood what is the target group of customers this smartphone is made for. It has nothing to do as a game device.
Those customers need the easy repair of a smartphone by themselves. They can use a device for over 5 years for simple things like telephone calls, sms, emails view, bank pay, etc
So, HMD must cut the device price at 50%, with hardware specs at the minimum. It is at the half of the price of the fairphone 5 which cost 700 euro.

People are complaining about ~300 PPI:
Your average laptop or desktop computer screen has less than 200 PPI, but nobody needs to visit a psychiatrist about it.
300 PPI is fine.
