HMD X1

Finland-based Human Mobile Devices (HMD) is set to revolutionize the smartphone experience for families with the launch of its new HMD X1, a device that promises to blend cutting-edge technology with robust safety features. Designed with both parents and kids in mind, the HMD X1 offers an ideal balance between security and style—a need that has long been overlooked by traditional smartphones. HMD’s new device comes equipped with comprehensive parental controls that are easily managed via Xplora’s innovative app. This launch is a key outcome of HMD’s Better Phone Project, which began in July 2024. With this feedback in hand, HMD set out to develop a device that not only addresses these concerns but also offers a modern, appealing design that kids will love. Beyond its safety features, the HMD X1 is built to impress with its state-of-the-art hardware. A unique highlight of the HMD X1 is its modular design, which lets users customize the phone with interchangeable “Outfits.” These include options like a gaming controller setup, a built-in ring light for enhanced selfies, and an extra battery module for those who need longer-lasting power. Experts in the field have lauded the HMD X1 for addressing the often conflicting demands of digital safety and modern design.
