Nokia has returned with a brand-new phone that addresses Android’s main issue.
Another Android phone from Nokia is being released in the UK, and it has a much simpler remedy.
If your phone’s screen keeps cracking, or if you don’t want your battery to drain after years of charging, Nokia may have a solution. The renowned Finnish telco, now part of HMD Global, has announced the launch of his new device, the G42 5G, which is fully repairable from your couch.
In fact, Nokia promises that owners can repair screens, replace batteries and replace charging connectors without professional help, with parts starting at just £18.99.
Repairs done at official cell phone shops can cost hundreds of pounds, so this new device could save a lot of money for the slightly accident-prone.
Adding to this serviceability, the G42 5G features a triple-lens rear camera, a 6.5-inch display, a fast Qualcomm processor, and a fingerprint scanner for quick access to your files and home screen. Nokia also said owners will get 3 days of battery life and full access to 5G data speeds, as well as a 3-year software update guarantee to ensure the device stays up to date with the latest features.

It comes in an eye-catching purple color and at £199, it’s very affordable on the market.
Commenting on the release, Lars Silberbauer, his CMO at HMD Global, home of Nokia mobile phones, said:
“It’s safe to say that purple is on the cusp of the year. The Nokia G42 5G not only looks great, it’s a continuation of our commitment to serviceability that has become an integral part of how we design smartphones.”
It’s not the only repairable mobile phone on the market. Nokia is set to launch his G22 earlier this year, which can also be serviced on your kitchen table.
Samsung recently announced that it will also sell kits for select devices, including the Galaxy S20, S21 and S22 series. This means owners can complete DIY repairs in the comfort of their own home. “Samsung is committed to extending the device lifecycle so that users can experience the optimized performance of their Galaxy devices for as long as possible,” said TM Roh, president and head of mobile experience business at Samsung Electronics. said. “We are committed to expanding access to our self-repair program around the world while improving the repairability of our products.”
