In today’s world, smartphones have become an inseparable part of everyday life. With online classes and digital learning on the rise, even young children now need smartphones. However, many parents remain hesitant to hand over a device because of the harmful and inappropriate content available on the internet.

To address this concern, HMD Global has launched a revolutionary smartphone designed specifically for children—the HMD Fuse. This unique device is built on advanced HarmBlock AI technology, developed by SafeToNet, to ensure maximum online safety for kids.

HarmBlock AI – A Shield for Children’s Online Safety

The HMD Fuse is recognized as the world’s first truly child-friendly smartphone, and its highlight is the HarmBlock AI system, which acts as a digital guardian:

• Prevents children from recording or sharing explicit photos and videos.

• Blocks access, downloads, and saving of inappropriate online content in real time.

• Even during live streaming, the AI can instantly detect and stop offensive gestures or behavior.

One of the biggest advantages is that this AI works on-device, meaning its safety features remain active even without an internet connection.

Privacy-Centric by Design

The HMD Fuse has been built with a strong focus on privacy-first design. Photos, videos, and browsing history remain secure on the phone, while harmful or unsuitable content is blocked before it ever reaches the child’s screen.
