The HMD Fusion adds custom outfits to a repairable body

Changing your case can completely change the usability of your phone

The HMD Fusion with all the current outfits

Say what you will about HMD, the company is doing its best to innovate in the relatively stale smartphone market.

Overnight the company announced its latest smartphone, the HMD Fusion. Set to launch in October for $499, this mid-range smartphone has a pretty interesting approach to accessories.

Rather than just buying any old third party case, HMD is introducing the concept of "outfits" which use a six pin connector on the back of the phone to introduce a range of functionality to the phone.
