Nokia G22 available in the UK for £169

Nokia Mobile announces that the first Nokia phone you can easily repair at home is available to buy in the UK.  The phone is available for £169 and you can get it from the Nokia.com/phones website.

The main idea behind this phone is the repairability or the latest movement by various states that electronic products should be easily repaired. Nokia G22 can be repaired at home by using a simple guitar pick and Torx screwdriver. Replacement parts like batteries, displays, charging ports and back covers are available to buy from iFixit. By making this smartphone easily fixed if needed, people should be able to use it for longer, thus reducing the amount of e-waste.

Nokia Mobile mentioned that the spare parts for G22 should be in stock for the next 5 years, although having parts available for at least three years seems reasonable enough.

Nokia G22 will be coming in Meteor Grey with a 4/128GB storage and memory configuration, and in Lagoon Blue from 17 March. You can get it also via Circular subscription for £9 per month with a one-time £30 set-up fee.

At-home Fit Kits and replacement parts for Nokia G22 are available for £5 from iFixit.com in Europe including display at £44.99, battery at £22.99 and charging port at £18.99. Compatible with any USB-C™ cable so you can charge all of your devices including your Nokia G22, the new 65W Nokia Dual Port Wall Charger provides faster charging and is available from Nokia.com for £44.99.
