Implementing a truly modular phone might be next to impossible at this point in time, but that doesn’t mean that the idea has no merits.

That’s the vision behind the HMD Fusion, now formally a real thing rather than just a proof of concept, giving owners the choice of how they want to live their mobile phone life and, perhaps more significantly, the tools and opportunity to make their own “Smart Outfits” to customize their experience.

As someone who has moved houses a lot, I can attest that the food of choice during breaks is pizza. You don’t need any utensils to eat it and oftentimes, you end up just plopping the box on any surface as you partake of a delicious slice and chat with your friends who are helping you move. It’s not the most sanitary of course since there’s probably a lot of dust and dirt lying around on the floor.
