HMD makes an Android phone that teens might actually want to use


With an interesting design and quirky accessories combined with sensible parental controls, HMD's Fusion X1 is catered to the needs of teens — and their parents.

The phone has a similar design and comes with magnetic pins at the back, allowing you to connect accessories with ease — HMD showcased a mobile gaming controller and ring light at the device's MWC 2025 launch. Social media addiction is a real problem for teens, and while most brands include token measures to restrict device usage, it isn't effective. HMD plans to launch the Fusion X1 later this year, and I'll get my hands on the device closer to its debut to see if it does enough to convince teens to switch to Android.
