HMD Gears Up for Major Announcements at MWC 2025
The stage is set for Mobile World Congress (MWC) 2025, and HMD Global is among the brands preparing for big reveals. The Finnish company has scheduled its event for March 2nd, a day before MWC officially kicks off in Barcelona, Spain.
HMD’s latest teasers suggest a lineup featuring new smartphones, accessories, and a special FC Barcelona edition device. Meanwhile, leaks and insider reports hint at additional surprises. Here’s what to expect.
FC Barcelona-Themed Smartphone Teased
HMD has released a teaser featuring a smartphone with the FC Barcelona crest on the back panel. This isn’t unexpected, as HMD became FCB’s official smartphone partner in 2024, taking over from OPPO, which previously launched Barça-themed phones like the OPPO F1 Plus and Reno 10x Zoom.
Reports suggest this special edition device could be based on the HMD Fusion. The teaser image showcases a square-shaped camera island with dual sensors, resembling the Fusion’s design. If true, the phone could arrive with custom UI elements, exclusive wallpapers, and FC Barcelona branding.
HMD Amped Buds: TWS Earbuds with Wireless Charging?
Another teaser hints at a compact yet powerful accessory, accompanied by the tagline “Power like never before.”
According to tipster @smashx_60, this could be the HMD Amped Buds, a new pair of true wireless stereo (TWS) earbuds featuring:
✅ In-ear design with a stem
✅ Press-to-release mechanism for quick access
✅ Wireless charging support
With AI-driven features becoming common in audio products, it remains to be seen whether HMD will integrate advanced noise cancellation or gesture-based controls into its TWS lineup.
Reviving a Classic: Nokia 3510 4G Could Make a Comeback
In a surprising move, HMD is reportedly planning to launch the Nokia 3510 4G, a modernized version of the classic feature phone. While exact specs remain unknown, it is expected to offer:
📱 4G connectivity
🎵 Wireless FM radio
🔋 Extended battery life
Feature phones still hold a niche appeal, particularly in emerging markets and as secondary devices for users who prefer simplicity.
HMD Fusion Gets a Refresh with New Customization Options
HMD is expected to reintroduce the Fusion smartphone at MWC, possibly with new designs and upgraded features.
For reference, the HMD Fusion debuted in India in November 2024 at ₹17,999, offering:
- A 90Hz display
- Snapdragon 4 Gen 2 chipset
- 108MP primary camera
- 5,000mAh battery with 33W charging
- Custom “Outfits” for gaming, photography, and durability
The MWC refresh could bring new color variants, software enhancements, and accessory support.
MWC 2025: A Platform for Major Announcements
Alongside these product launches, HMD Global is also expected to announce partnerships with Mattel, Lego, and other brands, possibly leading to themed devices and accessories.
With MWC 2025 set to feature major flagship unveilings from various brands, HMD’s lineup will need to stand out in an increasingly competitive market.
We’ll have official details on March 2nd—stay tuned for the latest updates!
