Finnish tech company HMD has been making headlines with its latest smartphone, the Nokia G22. The phone’s design prioritizes long-term viability and user serviceability, making it a more environmentally responsible option than many other mobile devices on the market today. The design decisions made by HMD for the Nokia G22, which emphasize durability and recyclable materials, demonstrate the company’s commitment to promoting environmentally responsible practices.
HMD and iFixit have teamed up to provide a wealth of information and tools for fixing the Nokia G22 as part of HMD’s mission to encourage a more eco-friendly and user-focused approach to technology. The goal of providing access to diagnostic tools, how-to instructions, and spare parts is to give customers more control over the maintenance and upkeep of their devices.
HMD launched Nokia G22 with a DIY repair feature
The battery of the Nokia G22 can be swapped out in under 5 minutes using the SIM ejector tool, guitar pick, and screwdriver that come with the phone. Similarly, replacing the screen takes only about 20 minutes and is not the most difficult process. HMD also provides authorized service center repairs in the event that consumers want expert assistance.
Nokia has shown its dedication to waste reduction and environmental friendliness by using recycled plastic for the G22’s rear cover and selecting FSC Blend material for the smartphone’s packaging. The company’s commitment to sustainability is shown in its efforts to simplify repairs by taking steps like doing away with the requirement for heat when taking off the back cover and doing away with the usage of alcohol when taking out the battery.
