Nokia G22: The latest Nokia Phone from HMD Can be Fixed in Minutes

The Nokia G22's battery and screen can be replaced in around five minutes, according to the firm. To offer replacement components, HMD has teamed up with iFixit. For the new Nokia G22, HMD has sought to simplify the most frequent smartphone repairs – replacing a damaged screen, charging port, or flat battery — by collaborating with repair specialists iFixit to give users the required replacement parts, tools, and guidance. The Nokia G22 will be available in the UK on 8 March for £149.99 (€179 / about $180) and will be marketed in certain worldwide countries such as Europe but not the United States.

HMD joins many smartphone makers in making replacement components more accessible to end users.

The business joins many smartphone makers in making replacement components more accessible to end users. In recent years, we've seen Samsung and Google collaborate with iFixit to offer replacement components, while Apple created its Self Service platform. That is why HMD boasts about how easily you can change the G22's battery or screen. At a press conference regarding the phone, Adam Ferguson, HMD's head of product, successfully changed the battery in the Nokia G22. "You're probably looking at 20 minutes" for a screen repair on the Nokia G22, he says. Costs for replacement components for the Nokia G22 from iFixit range from £18.99 (about $23) for a new charging port to £44.99 (approximately $54) for a replacement display.

Is the Nokia G22 an upgrade over its competition?

Although it is an upgrade over its competition, while the Nokia G22 is easier to remove, it still takes tools – the battery on the Fairphone 4 can be eradicated by hand. HMD's last statement today, of this year's Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, is that it is taking the "initial steps" to begin producing select phones in Europe, which it claims will assist with device security and sustainability. Nevertheless, the corporation refused to reveal specifics about the effort, such as which models are affected or where manufacturing will occur in Europe. HMD's Nokia products have always been produced in collaboration with Taiwan-based Foxconn.
