HMD Fuse: A smartphone made safe for kids
Safety features
The most important part of the HMD Fuse is the HarmBlock+ system. This is powered by SafeToNet’s AI, and it is built into the phone’s software itself. Because of that, it works across every app. It stops harmful content, including nude or explicit photos and videos, from being captured or even accessed on the phone. It is not just a normal filter, it actually works in real time and gives full protection.
Parental controls
Every family has different needs, and HMD made sure parents get full control. On the HMD Fuse, parents can block or allow apps, track the phone’s live location, check the location history, and even create a list of trusted contacts. This means kids can use the phone freely, but inside safe limits that parents set.
Hardware and specs
Even though safety is the focus, the HMD Fuse also comes with good hardware. It has a 6.56-inch HD+ display with a 90Hz refresh rate and up to 600 nits brightness, so watching videos or playing games feels smooth.
Inside, the phone runs on Snapdragon 4 Gen 2 with 6GB RAM and 128GB storage. Storage can also be expanded with a microSD card if needed. For the camera, it has a 108MP main rear camera along with a 2MP depth sensor. On the front, there is a 50MP camera for selfies and video calls.
Battery life is also strong with a 5000 mAh battery that supports 33W fast charging. The phone also has an IP54 rating for dust and splash resistance, plus NFC, Bluetooth 5.1, and it runs on Android 15. HMD promises 3 years of security updates.
To make the phone more personal, it comes with two snap-on covers inside the box, called Blue Casual Outfit and Blue Flashy Outfit.
The HMD Fuse is made for one clear purpose, to give kids a safe smartphone and parents the confidence to let them use it. With HarmBlock+ AI, strong parental controls, and reliable hardware, this device is not just about safety, it also works well as an everyday phone. For families looking for a secure option, the Fuse is a strong choice.
