Nokia has released its new smartphone, the Nokia G22, which is the first smartphone from the company with reparability as its core feature. The Nokia G22 has been designed with a QuickFix design that makes it easy for users to access repair guides and affordable parts to replace damaged components such as a damaged display, bent charging port, or flat battery. The collaboration with iFixit has helped make this possible.
In addition to its reparability, the Nokia G22 comes with several impressive features, such as a 100% recycled plastic back, OZO Playback that delivers enhanced bass and clearer sound, and Android 12. Nokia has promised 2 years of Android OS upgrades, three years of monthly security updates, and extended three-year warranty at no extra cost.
