HMD Global announced three new Nokia-branded smartphones at MWC23 in Barcelona. With longer battery life, improved durability, and imaging, the vendor unveiled repairability play in partnership with iFixit.

The company said that the new model, G22, has been designed with repairability at its core. In collaboration with iFixit, a global repair community, users can access repair guides, affordable parts to replace a damaged display, and bent charging ports of a flat battery.

The device has been built with a 100% recycled back, while other features include enhanced sound quality, two years of Android OS updates, and three years of security updates. The company also unveiled the C32 and the C22 models from its low-cost series. HMD Global said both devices come with the enhanced build quality.

Alongside the launch, HMD Global announced plans to bring the manufacturing of Nokia 5G devices to Europe in 2023.“Nokia has a proud history within the European market. This will strengthen HMD Global’s “position as the only major European smartphone provider,“ said Jean-Francois Baril, co-founder, Chairman and CEO of HMD Global.
