You can change this Nokia’s battery, screen, charging port, and more – in just a few minutes – with collaborator iFixIt’s parts and instructions.
Nokia, also known as HMD Global, has announced its first modern smartphone designed with “repairability at its core.” Designed in collaboration with iFixIt, the new Nokia G22 can be repaired and rejuvenated with new parts, and an easily fixable device is highly attractive.Many readers will miss the many of the old mobile features we used to take for granted. For example, old feature phones, and some of the early smartphones, had interchangeable backs and batteries. Nokia’s new G22 covers these bases and more, with iFixIt backed repair parts and guides available if you need a new back cover, battery, screen, or a new charging port. However, before we go further, we must mention that this device is launching in Europe and there are no current plans to introduce it to the US market.Even with the spares and guides, the replacement of the battery, for example, isn’t as simple as with some devices of old. This writer used to have a Nokia Lumia which allowed easy back cover changing, and battery swapping. The new Nokia G22 seems to require more than a fingernail to open up, with picks and pry tools recommended by iFixIt.
