HMD Fuse: AI-Powered Smartphone for Kids That Blocks Nude Content
Finnish phone-maker HMD Global, best known for reviving the Nokia brand, has entered a new niche in the smartphone market—devices made exclusively for children. The company has unveiled the HMD Fuse, a smartphone designed with built-in artificial intelligence that promises to block all nude or inappropriate content, making it the first of its kind globally. The Fuse is powered by an AI model called HarmBlock AI, developed by UK-based cybersecurity company SafeToNet. Unlike typical filtering apps that operate online, this AI runs locally on the phone itself, giving parents and children real-time protection without depending on cloud-based servers. According to HMD, the Fuse is capable of preventing children from filming, sharing, or even receiving any form of explicit content. It also works seamlessly during livestreams, ensuring that such material never reaches the child's screen or gets stored on the device. Along with its headline feature, the HMD Fuse packs a suite of expanded parental controls. Parents can monitor their child's phone use, including screen time, app activity, and internet access. Time limits can be set for individual applications, and location tracking is also built in, allowing parents to know where their children are at all times. Interestingly, the Fuse blocks social media apps and internet browsing by default. However, HMD has designed the phone to adapt as children grow older. Initially, parents can restrict the device to work as a simple phone with basic calling and messaging. Over time, additional features—such as web access or selective apps—can be unlocked under parental supervision. So why did HMD decide to create such a product? According to the company, the idea came from a global survey involving 37,000 parents and children. The study revealed a growing demand for smartphones that offer greater digital supervision, with parents voicing concerns over children's exposure to unsafe online content and the risks associated with social media. Unlike many mainstream smartphone makers, HMD has recently focused on meaningful features like repairability and long-lasting devices. With the Fuse, the company is doubling down on this philosophy by addressing one of the most pressing concerns of modern parenting—children's online safety. On the hardware front, the HMD Fuse features a 6.56-inch HD+ LCD display with a 90Hz refresh rate and 600 nits of brightness, ensuring a smooth and bright viewing experience. It runs on the Snapdragon 4 Gen 2 processor with 5G connectivity, offering decent performance for day-to-day tasks. The phone comes in a single black color variant. For now, the device is available only in the UK, where it is being sold exclusively through Vodafone. Customers can purchase the phone with a monthly plan of £33 (around ₹3,878) along with an upfront cost of £30 (around ₹3,526). It remains unclear if HMD plans to bring the Fuse to India. The company's most recent India launch was the HMD Fusion, a modular smartphone introduced in November 2024 at a price of ₹17,999. With the Fuse, HMD aims to reassure parents that children can enjoy the benefits of connectivity without the risks of unfiltered internet access—making it a potential game-changer in the family-friendly smartphone segment.

Income Tax Returns: 4 key points salaried taxpayers should keep in mind while filing ITR
Income Tax: The deadline to file an income tax return (ITR) for FY 2024-25 will expire on 15 September, less than one month from now. The Income Tax (I-T) Department has released the excel utilities for all the ITR forms from ITR1 to ITR6. It is now incumbent upon taxpayers to file the correct tax return and accurately report their income and assets, while avoiding under-reporting. There are a number of points which taxpayers need to be careful about. I. Choosing the right regime: When filing an income tax return (ITR), taxpayers need to use an income tax calculator to find out which tax regime leads to a lower tax rate. Sometimes, they choose the regime they chose last year without realising the impact on their tax outgoings. 'Oftentimes, salaried taxpayers opt for the old tax regime because their Form 16 has followed that. But they must understand that when deductions are less (say, lower than ₹ 2 lakh), then the new tax regime leads to lower income tax. If they follow the new regime, they could even get a tax refund. So, it is better to use an income tax calculator before choosing a regime,' says Chirag Chauhan, a Mumbai-based chartered accountant, who runs CA Chauhan & Co. II. Avoiding under-reporting of income: Another mistake that taxpayers make is to compute LTCG (long-term capital gains) based on the old tax rate (10 per cent) instead of the new rate (12.5 per cent) which came into force on July 23, 2024. III. Correct reporting of foreign assets: Another mistake that taxpayers tend to make is to hide or wrongly report their foreign assets/income. "Oftentimes, taxpayers report foreign ESOPs wrongly. For example, salaried persons assume that reporting these (foreign ESOPs) under the category of salary perquisites is sufficient instead of reporting under the 'Foreign Assets' schedule. But it is incorrect. Another non-compliance often seen is the non-reporting of the asset-liability schedule. Additionally, if you own foreign assets, you must file ITR-2, which is a slightly complex form. This is perhaps another reason that salaried taxpayers – owning foreign ESOPs -- choose to ignore it and report it under salary perquisites," says CA Pratibha Goyal, partner, PD Gupta & Company, a Delhi-based CA firm. IV. Other crucial information: Additionally, taxpayers should avoid concealing crucial facts which have an impact on their tax filing status. For example, if a taxpayer is a director in a company, then they must use ITR4 to file the return. 'Sometimes taxpayers own physical shares or securities in an unlisted firm, but they must reveal such investments too,' adds Chauhan. For all personal finance updates, visit here

Infosys Gives 80% Average Bonus Payout To Employees For Q1 FY26: Report
The bonus, applicable to employees in Band 6 and below (which largely includes junior and mid-level staff), is linked to performance ratings across levels, according to a report. IT major Infosys has rolled out its quarterly performance bonus for the first quarter of FY2025-26, with an organisation-wide average payout of 80 per cent, according to a Moneycontrol report citing an internal communication. The move follows the Bengaluru-headquartered company's strong June 2025 quarter earnings, where it beat analyst expectations on both profit and revenue. The bonus, applicable to employees in Band 6 and below (which largely includes junior and mid-level staff), is linked to performance ratings across levels. For PL4 employees, payouts range between 80-89 per cent, while PL5 employees will see 78-87 per cent, and PL6 employees will receive 75-85 per cent, depending on their performance category. At PL4, those rated 'Outstanding" will get 89 per cent of their eligible bonus, while those marked 'Needs Attention" are set at 80 per cent. At PL6, top performers will receive 85 per cent, with the lowest band fixed at 75 per cent. Infosys has informed employees that their individual bonus letters will be uploaded to their e-dockets. The average payout this quarter is higher than the previous one, which stood at around 65 per cent for eligible staff. The company posted an 8.7 per cent year-on-year rise in net profit to Rs 6,921 crore in Q1, while revenue grew 7.5 per cent to Rs 42,279 crore, surpassing Street forecasts. This comes against the backdrop of wider compensation changes at the company. Infosys had earlier announced that it would roll out 6–8 percent annual salary hikes for employees in India starting January 2025, with a second phase in April 2025. 'Broadly, the comp (annual salary increment) that we are expecting is 6-8% in India, and the overseas comps will be in line with the earlier comp reviews," Infosys CFO Jayesh Sanghrajka had said after its Q3FY25 results. Infosys employs over 3.23 lakh professionals. The development follows rival Tata Consultancy Services' announcement of a wage hike effective September 1, even as it reportedly prepares to lay off about 12,000 employees this year. view comments First Published: August 20, 2025, 17:11 IST Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.
