HMD hasn’t launched a smartphone in India since the Skyline that debuted in September but that will soon change, as the company has teased that it will soon release the HMD Fusion in India. HMD Fusion debuted globally in September as well, with various mods that could be attached to the phone, called “Outfits.”
HMD Fusion India Launch
HMD Fusion India launch has been teased via an Amazon microsite, where the teaser says, ‘Experience Fusion’ and ‘Go beyond just a smartphone’. The smartphone is also touted to sport easy repairability and we know that the device supports Gen 2 repairability so users could easily replace parts within the phone themselves.
The HMD Fusion has a starting price set at £199 / €249 (approx Rs 23,200) and comes in two models including 6GB + 128GB and 8GB + 256GB. However, we expect the India price to be cheaper, likely below Rs 20,000, considering the specs of the handset. While there’s no concrete launch date as of now, the device may debut in December or by late November in India.
