The Nokia G22 has been made so it's fast, easy, and cheap to change a broken screen or dead battery — unlike most other phones available today.
HMD Global is making it easier to repair your smartphone. It has announced the Nokia G22 as the first to qualify under its new “QuickFix” program, which is aimed at minimizing the effort, knowledge, and expense that’s usually involved in replacing a broken screen or a battery that’s past its prime.
Related During a presentation of the Nokia G22 ahead of its announcement, an HMD Global representative tore down the Nokia G22 and swapped the battery for a new one in a few seconds under five minutes, all while still giving a presentation. The job was performed using three tools: the included SIM tray removal tool, a 00 screwdriver, and a guitar pick to help separate the back cover from the chassis. The screwdriver and the pick can be purchased from iFixit, along with a new battery.
Unfortunately, it comes with Android 12 installed, which HMD Global says is due to an extended development time for the phone, and getting it to Android 13 will eat into one of its two guaranteed major updates. It also comes with three years of security updates, which is good for a smartphone at this price. It’s also a 4G-only phone, which again affects longevity. The main camera on the back has 50 megapixels and sits alongside a 2MP macro camera and a 2MP depth camera.
On the back is a 13MP main camera and a 2MP macro camera, plus there’s an 8MP selfie camera at the top of the screen, along with a fingerprint scanner on the back of the phone. The polycarbonate unibody has an IP52 water-resistance rating, and there’s toughened 2.5D glass over the screen, and even a 3.5mm headphone jack on the body. It comes in either Midnight Black or Sand colors and will cost just 109 euros, which is around $115.
