I tried HMD Fusion, a budget smartphone that dares to embrace modularity and repairability

Earlier this year, I visited the retail store of a major smartphone brand in the US and noticed a long line of customers. Initially, I assumed they were there to purchase new smartphones, but to my surprise, they had come to replace their phone batteries. A few months later, I was chatting with a friend who mentioned that he had also chosen to replace his phone’s battery rather than upgrade to a $1,200 smartphone.
