The Moto Mods dream is alive and kicking in 2024

The HMD Fusion, the former maker of often rugged, moderately repairable (and potentially extinct) Nokia phones, has taken up the modular add-on mantle.

HMD's recent approach to smartphones flies in the face of what big players like Samsung and Google are doing with their hardware.

For now, only the phone itself is available for purchase, with first -party Smart Outfits slated for release between October and December .

Without any exciting internal hardware, the Fusion won't inspire all the most skilled DIY engineers to make significant efforts.

HMD Fusion could replicate the Fusion 's form factor with a considerably more powerful future device, should the public show interest in Smart Outfits .

At the moment, no other company is rumored to have a hand in the modular game.

The CMF Phone from Carl Pei's iPhone-hunter Nothing brand had already attempted something like mods, but didn't take the step of USB host controller connectivity.
