HMD's new Fusion phone becomes one with Venom

HMD launched its Fusion phone back in September sans modular attachments that it calls “Smart Outfits”, but now the company is giving consumers a look at what you can do with these accessories through this incredibly unique Venom version of the phone.

HMD partnered with Sony Pictures to celebrate the upcoming release of Venom: The Last Dance and created a unique Smart Outfit that embodies the symbiotic relationship between Venom and Eddie Brock. Much like Venom changes the outer appearance of Brock, the Venom smart outfits change the outer appearance of the HMD Fusion with Venom-like qualities.

This is visibly represented by a special glass chamber that snaps onto the back of the device, connected by the Fusion’s six smart pins. Inside the smart outfit, there are 160 electromagnetic arrays that “control” some ferrofluid on the inside of the glass chamber. Causing the ferrofluid to shift around, twist, and contort itself into different shapes much like Venom might do.

It’s an interesting concept for a modular smartphone accessory. One that might just excite Venom fans and convince them to consider this device. However, it’s important to note that you can’t actually buy this smart outfit for yourself.

The HMD Fusion Venom phone is not available for sale

While you can pre-order the HMD Fusion right now for $299.99, you can’t actually buy this Venom smart outfit. It was created specifically for the promotion of the new film. And there are only three of these in the world.

HMD says the Venom phone made an appearance at a special Venom pop-up event on October 20, and then once more at the premiere for the film that happened on October 21. So, unfortunately, there’s no way to even see these special smart outfits in person at this point. Luckily, HMD has shared quite a few images of the device. There’s also a trailer that displays the ferrofluid in motion. This should give you a better idea of how the smart outfit reacts.

The phone also came with unique Venom-themed movie easter eggs

In addition to the special physical appearance, HMD also loaded up this three-of-a-kind device with some special movie easter eggs. There’s an alarm tone that says, “Eddie, the time has come” and a notification alert that says “Who sent that thing?” in Venom’s voice.

Additionally, there’s a voicemail that comes up from Venom when the phone is loaded up. As well as a ringtone that plays for incoming calls. While HMD isn’t making it possible to own this smart outfit, it’s not leaving fans empty-handed. It has several Venom: The Last Dance wallpapers that can be downloaded.
