HMD made a significant splash at the Mobile World Congress (MWC) 2025 with the launch of multiple new devices. The latest announcements include the HMD Fusion X1, a smartphone tailored for teenagers with built-in parental controls, two FC Barcelona-themed feature phones, and a pair of wireless earbuds capable of charging smartphones.
HMD Fusion X1
Leading the lineup is the HMD Fusion X1, the company’s first smartphone aimed specifically at teenagers. Developed in partnership with Xplora, the device prioritises safety and digital well-being, featuring parental control settings, location tracking with designated safety zones, and a default restriction on social media access. Parents can further customise the user experience through a subscription service starting at €4.99 per month.
In a bid to enhance online safety, HMD has integrated AI-powered protection via SafeToNet, ensuring harmful content is automatically blocked before it reaches the user.
The smartphone itself sports a 6.56-inch HD display with a 90Hz refresh rate, powered by the Snapdragon 4 Gen 2 chipset and offering up to 8GB of RAM. A 5,000mAh battery with 33W fast charging ensures extended usability. In terms of cameras, the Fusion X1 boasts a 108MP primary lens, a 2MP secondary sensor, and a 50MP front-facing camera for high-quality selfies.
HMD FC Barcelona phones
Expanding its portfolio, HMD has collaborated with FC Barcelona to introduce two special edition feature phones. The HMD Barça 3210 combines nostalgia with modern connectivity, featuring a classic game of Snake set on a football pitch, hidden messages from players, and exclusive Barcelona-themed wallpapers. It also includes 4G connectivity and a single-camera setup, while offering an extended battery life.
Meanwhile, the HMD Barça Fusion is a themed variant of the Fusion X1, featuring the signatures of 11 Barcelona players. This device comes with a ‘detox mode’ to help limit screen time and a unique wake-up call function, where star players such as Robert Lewandowski and Gavi can start the user’s day with personalised messages.
