HMD is Europe’s largest smartphone maker. Xplora designs smartwatches and services specifically for kids, helping them navigate digital life safely. Through our partnership with Xplora, we are rethinking smartphones for teens, creating responsible technology that prioritizes safety and mindful features. This collaboration is inspired by findings from the Better Phone Project.

Digital Wellbeing
Build healthy digital habits
It’s hard to balance protecting your teens while giving them freedom, but Fusion X1 makes it easy. The phone starts with nothing, allowing you to create the phone your teen is ready for. With full Google Play Store access, you get to decide what apps your teen can install and when—so you can guide their journey in developing healthy digital habits.
Real-time app management
Peace of mind for parents
Not every teen is ready for social media or the internet at the same time. That’s why access is blocked by default—built deep into the device and impossible to bypass. Instead of an all-or-nothing approach, Fusion X1 lets you define what age-appropriate looks like for your teen. Approve, block, or hide apps instantly from your phone and adjust access as they grow, learn, and earn more trust.
Location Safety
Stay connected and aware—in real time
It’s important to keep tabs on your kids as they flex their freedom. Set up to 10 safe zones—like home, school, a friend’s house, or their sports facility—and get instant alerts when they enter or leave. Xplora provides real-time tracking with 24-second updates and location history, mapping waypoints every five minutes. Great for safe exploration and even finding lost items.
Safer calls & texts
Know who they’re talking to
Keep conversations safer by limiting calls and texts to trusted contacts. This makes it easy for them to stay in contact with friends and family and gives you peace of mind knowing who they’re connecting with. It’s easy to expand their circle when they’re ready for more and even eventually hand over full control.
Xplora Guardian App
Freedom for them. Peace of mind for you.
The built-in Xplora safety features make it easy to give your teens the freedom they crave while fostering healthy digital habits. Unlike basic location-sharing apps, Xplora offers a comprehensive suite of parental controls designed to help you protect their well-being—all managed from your phone through a dedicated subscription.

Smart and Fun Outfits
Change what it can do with Smart Outfits
The HMD Fusion X1 will never feel second-hand thanks to its ability to change its appearance and functionality.

Whatever the vibe, available Smart Outfits are here to keep the style fresh. And creative.1
