Fusion 2 and XR22 Progress
The Fusion 2, a successor to the 2024 HMD Fusion, is said to feature a completely different design and approach.
The original model offered an affordable modular system with interchangeable “Smart Outfits” for added protection or gaming grips.
Specs for the Fusion 2 are rumored to include a 6.58-inch Full HD+ 120Hz OLED display, a Snapdragon 6s Gen 4 processor, an 8MP ultrawide camera, and IP65 dust/water resistance.

New Gen 2 outfits and continued support for 3D-printed accessories are also expected.
The XR22 is confirmed as the successor to the durable XR21, which featured IP68/IP69K and MIL-STD-810H certification.
The new model is expected to bring upgrades in performance and cameras while maintaining ruggedness.

Qi2 wireless charging is also expected.
These updates suggest HMD is balancing innovation with practicality in the budget and mid-range market.
