HMD may be preparing a significantly upgraded European version of its modular Fusion smartphone that addresses several hardware limitations of the original model while keeping the phone’s interchangeable accessories, according to leaked specifications attributed to leaker smashx_60 and reported by nokiamob.net on 25 October 2026. HMD has not confirmed the specifications.
What the leak says
The leak claims the refreshed Fusion will make several substantial changes to the internals and display compared with the first‑generation device:
- Processor: the entry‑level Qualcomm Snapdragon 4 Gen 2 would be replaced by the Snapdragon 7s Gen 2.
- Memory and storage: the phone is said to offer 8GB or 12GB of RAM with virtual RAM expansion and a standard 256GB of internal storage.
- Display: a 6.56‑inch FHD+ IPS LCD panel with a 120Hz refresh rate replaces the original HD+ 90Hz screen.
- Camera: the primary sensor remains a 108‑megapixel unit but is reportedly gaining optical image stabilisation (OIS); a 2‑megapixel secondary rear lens and a 50‑megapixel front camera are also listed.
- Battery and charging: a 5,000mAh battery with 33W fast charging is specified.
- Software support: the device is said to launch with a four‑year software update guarantee.
Why this matters
HMD’s first Fusion, introduced in September 2024, distinguished itself in the budget market by emphasising repairability and a modular accessory system called “Outfits” that attach via a rear Smart Pin. The device offered an open‑source development kit allowing enthusiasts to design and 3D‑print custom cases and attachments. If the leaked upgrades are accurate, the refresh would reduce the performance and display compromises that critics noted in the original model while preserving the modular ecosystem that is HMD’s unique selling point.
Implications for users and the market
For consumers who value repairability and modular accessories, the reported jump to a Snapdragon 7s Gen 2 and a 120Hz FHD+ panel could make the Fusion a more practical daily driver rather than a niche experiment. The addition of OIS to the 108MP primary sensor addresses a common shortcoming for large‑sensor cameras on budget‑oriented phones. A longer software update promise would also be significant for owners who expect security and feature updates over multiple years.
However, the leak is focused on a European refresh; nokiamob.net’s report does not state any price, launch date or whether HMD plans to bring the refreshed Fusion to markets outside Europe, including India. HMD has not publicly confirmed the specifications or a rollout plan.
| Spec | Leaked detail |
|---|---|
| Processor | Qualcomm Snapdragon 7s Gen 2 |
| RAM / storage | 8GB or 12GB RAM (with virtual RAM), 256GB storage |
| Display | 6.56‑inch FHD+ IPS LCD, 120Hz |
| Rear cameras | 108MP primary with OIS, 2MP secondary |
| Front camera | 50MP |
| Battery | 5,000mAh, 33W fast charging |
| Software updates | Four‑year update guarantee (reported) |
The modular “Outfits” ecosystem — rear‑mounted accessories that add features such as wireless charging, ring lights or extra protection — is expected to remain a core characteristic of the Fusion. HMD’s earlier open‑source kit for cases and attachments is part of the product’s identity and may continue to appeal to hobbyists and repair‑centred buyers.
Until HMD issues an official announcement, the specifications should be treated as unconfirmed. Readers in India should note that the leak specifies a European refresh and does not provide Indian pricing, availability or carrier plans.
