After last year’s Barbie phone, HMD has more niche phones, attracting those who prefer and need to be regular iPhone/Android flagship binary.
Some companies were shocked MWC 2025 In Barcelona this year, there are no new phones to show off – but no HMD. It comes with a lot of fresh products that brings its A-game to the mobile show.
HMD is the abbreviation for human mobile devices and is known for making Nokia phones. It is perhaps no surprise that the company released another update to the classic Nokia phone (3210), but this time it was the color of FC Barcelona.
The company has an ongoing partnership with elite European football teams, announcing its first installation with the Barcelona-themed FC. The latest update for 3210 includes hidden messages from players, custom wallpapers and classic mobile game Snake, this time on the football field.
Meanwhile, HMD BarçaFusion is a collector’s version of smartphone with signatures from club star players. HMD also promises Easter eggs that will attract fans and can even be awakened by the voice of one of the morning’s favorite players.
HMD’s partnership with Barcelona has led to many special edition phones.
Not a Barcelona fan? One of HMD’s other phones might be better for you. The Fusion X1 is the company’s first teenager smartphone, created behind it Better phone project – The process of bringing home into the design of equipment.
Fusion X1 allows parents to control their children’s phones through a monthly Xplora subscription. In addition to the “school model,” this allows parents to control internet browsing and social media. The subscription also offers continuous location tracking at 20-second intervals, secure zones, emergency SOS calls, low battery alerts and remote device access – your teen will be excited.
The Fusion X1 is a smartphone, but HMD is known for making feature phones. The feature phone market is falling, but the company said it violated its overall situation, not only gaining market share but also growing double-digit growth last year. No wonder I came back this year with a few feature phones.
The company, along with the HMD 2660, a classic flip phone, has launched two phones for music lovers. The biggest selling point of the HMD 150 and 350 is their retro feel, combining awesome speakers, FM radios and long battery life, making them feel like the perfect holiday phone. Let’s hope that no speakers using these statements play music on public transport.
