Would you buy earbuds or a smartwatch from a phone maker like HMD?
HMD is reportedly planning to expand its product ecosystem beyond smartphones starting in 2027, according to a leak from a tipster on X. HMD has not officially confirmed the plans, and the leak does not reveal product names or whether devices would carry the HMD brand.
Why it matters
A move beyond smartphones would put HMD into additional consumer electronics categories, where it would compete in markets it does not currently serve. Because the plans remain unconfirmed, the scope and timing of any expansion are still uncertain.
The reported categories are TWS earphones, smartwatches, power banks, pocket Wi-Fi devices and portable fans, but the leak gives no specifications for any of them. HMD's current product that anchors the brand is the 2660 Flip Senior Edition, which has a 2.8-inch main display, 64MB of RAM and a 1,450mAh battery.
The players
HMD
HMD is a Finnish phone maker that sells smartphones and feature phones under its own brand.
The details
The information comes from a tipster on X who claimed HMD intends to launch these devices. HMD sells smartphones and feature phones under its own brand, and the reported additions would move it into accessories and wearables. The leak also suggested possible smart plugs and data cables as further entries into the smart home accessories market.
Timeline
2027: Planned start of the reported ecosystem expansion beyond smartphones.
March 2025: The 2660 Flip debuted, serving as the base model for the Senior Edition.
The Tech Race
The reported move extends HMD beyond the feature-phone line represented by the 2660 Flip Senior Edition, which launched in the UK at GBP 79.99. If confirmed, it would place HMD alongside accessory makers in categories such as earphones and power banks.
If HMD launches these products, buyers could find power banks, earphones and smartwatches from a brand currently known for phones. No prices, availability or specifications have been announced, so buyers cannot yet plan purchases around the reported lineup.
The takeaway
Treat the reported HMD expansion as unconfirmed until the company announces products, names and dates. Consumers weighing a purchase should wait for official specifications and pricing before assuming a new HMD accessory will be available.
