Nokia G42 5G: A new repairable smartphone

HMD Global, the company behind Nokia phones, has unveiled a new smartphone that stands out for its repairability. The Nokia G42 5G, which comes in the eye-catching “So Purple” color, allows users to replace defective screens, charging ports and batteries themselves. This is possible thanks to the QuickFix repair feature and collaboration with iFixit, a company that provides repair guides and spare parts.

A step towards sustainability

The Nokia G42 5G is not only repairable, but also sustainable. It has a back cover that is made of 65% recycled material and comes in FSC-certified packaging. This is an important step towards reducing global e-waste and a sign of HMD Global’s commitment to sustainable design.

High-speed Internet and impressive camera features

The Nokia G42 5G not only offers repairability and sustainability, but also high-speed Internet thanks to 5G connectivity. It features a 50MP camera that is equipped with AI technologies to enable clear shots even in challenging conditions. It also offers an impressive battery life of up to three days.

Longevity and Security

The Nokia G42 5G is built to last and has been thoroughly tested to withstand everyday impacts. It always stays up to date with monthly security updates for three years and operating system upgrades for two years. With Android 13, users have more control over what information apps can and cannot access.

Prices and Availability

The Nokia G42 5G in “So Purple” is available now at a price of 249 euros on Nokia.com. It offers 6 GB of RAM and 128 GB of storage. With its approach to repairability and sustainability, the Nokia G42 5G is similar to the Fairphone.
