At MWC 2025, HMD introduced several new devices, with the Fusion X1 being the standout. While its specifications may be quite basic, HMD aims to enhance its appeal by incorporating the Xplora parental control platform.
Continuing with that theme, Xplora is a subscription-based service that operates on the teen’s device, providing alerts for various events, location tracking and history, controlled contacts, app approvals, and remote screen time management. It appears to be a comprehensive parental control solution, although the pricing details are still unclear.
