The 4G Nokia G22 was just unveiled by HMD, with a strong emphasis on ecology and repairability. Let’s investigate that first, and then we’ll set the specifications.
The Nokia G22 is designed for smartphone owners who want to keep their device for as long as feasible. Since a broken display or a degraded battery were the most common reasons for people to change their phones, according to market research data, HMD concentrated on making those components as simple to replace as feasible.
The SIM ejector tool, a guitar pick, and a screwdriver are all required for the Nokia G22 battery change, which takes about 5 minutes. With a few additional tools, changing the LCD takes about 20 minutes. You can fix the Nokia G22’s display, charging socket, or battery yourself thanks to a collaboration between HMD and iFixit. Of course, you can also transport the G22 to a licenced repair facility to have those issues fixed.
By eliminating the need to use alcohol to remove the battery and heat the back cover in order to remove it, Nokia significantly reduced the number of steps required to fix the G22.
The Nokia G22’s packaging is made entirely of FSC Mix material that has been completely certified, while the back cover is made entirely of recycled plastic.
Regarding the G22’s technical specifications, it has a 6.52-inch HD+ 90Hz touchscreen with Gorilla Glass 3. There is also a side-mounted fingerprint scanner, and the front-facing 8MP camera can conduct face unlocking even when wearing a mask.
A Unisoc T606 chipset with 4GB of Memory and either 64GB or 128GB of storage powers the Nokia G22. Android 12 comes pre-installed on the Nokia G22 phone, but HMD guarantees two OS updates and three years of security updates, so it should eventually reach Android 14.
A 50MP main camera, a 2MP macro camera, and a 2MP depth camera make up the triple camera system on the rear.
Battery capacity is 5,050mAh, and direct charging is 20W.
Starting today, the Nokia G22 is offered in Blue and Grey for €179.
