A reputable phone maker, Nokia, has taken a step forward to satisfy its customers by coming up with smartphones with better battery life, improved imaging and durability.
In a statement, HMD Global, the parent company of Nokia, said the new series is affordable and easy to repair, as it has partnered with iFixit to make the parts available to customers at affordable prices.
According to the disclosure, three Nokia smartphones released to the market are Nokia G22, Nokia C32, and Nokia C22, all offering up to three days of battery life.
Nokia G22 is the first Nokia smartphone purposefully designed with repairability at its core, taking signature Nokia phone longevity to the next level.
In collaboration with iFixit, a global repair community, owners of the gadget can easily access repair guides and affordable parts to replace a damaged display, bent charging port, or flat battery on Nokia G22.
The new G-series smartphone also comes with a 100 per cent recycled plastic back, OZO Playback that delivers enhanced bass and clearer sound, plus two years of AndroidTM OS upgrades, three years of monthly security updates, and an extended three-year warranty at no extra cost.
As for the Nokia C32, it comes with the highest image quality in the C-series yet, packing a 50MP camera and stellar imaging algorithms. The phone brings advanced imaging to an even more affordable price point.
It comes in a refined design with a toughened glass finish and elegant, straight sidewalls that give the C-series a premium feel. Arriving with the latest Android 13 right out of the box, Nokia C32 delivers the most personalized software to date for a modern smartphone experience.
On its part, the Nokia C22 arrives with exceptional build quality that outperforms the competition in rigorous free-fall tests. Nokia C22 is prepared to take on the unexpected moments of daily life thanks to IP52 splash and dust protection, toughened 2.5D display glass, and rigid metal chassis housed within a strong polycarbonate unibody design.
It’s packed with powerful imaging algorithms in an improved dual 13MP camera that makes capturing memories with crisp detail possible in any light.
“People value long-lasting, quality devices, and they shouldn’t have to compromise on price to get it. The new Nokia G22 is purposefully built with a repairable design so you can keep it even longer, and with advanced imaging on Nokia C32 and improved durability on Nokia C22, we are bringing even more value to the C-series,” the Head of Product Marketing at HMD Global, Mr Adam Ferguson, said.
“As consumers increasingly demand more sustainable and longer-lasting devices, the ability to repair smartphones easily and affordably will become a key differentiator in the market.
“CCS Insight’s end-user research reflects this with approximately half of the mobile phone users in Western Europe saying they would like to be able to have their device repaired at a reasonable cost if they break outside of the warranty period,” the Chief Analyst at CCS Insight, Mr Ben Wood, added.
