According to a Nokiamob report, the three smartphones may be named HMD Nighthawk, HMD Tomcat and HMD Project Fusion. The two former devices will reportedly be mid-range devices, while the latter is tipped to be a rugged smartphone. Notably, the names of the smartphones are not final.

Other features may reportedly include Android 14, Bluetooth 5.1, Wi-Fi 5, dual speakers, NFC support and a 3.5mm headphone jack. The HMD Nighthawk will reportedly be priced at EUR 250 (roughly Rs. 22,500) for the 8GB+128GB variant.
