Like the Nokia G22, HMD hopes the Nokia G42’s design will allow easy replacement of its screen, battery, back cover, or charging port.
The HMD Nokia G42 is designed to be an affordable phone, and that shows in its chunky bezels.As its name suggests, the Nokia G42 is designed to offer a step-up in features and performance versus the. There’s support for 5G networks included this time, for example, and it’s powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 480 Plus processor rather than the Unisoc T606 found in the Nokia G22.
In a briefing, HMD’s Ferguson said the length of software support came down to the price point of the device, and suggested that the length of support offered by chipset manufacturers has also played a part. “There is a cost to every additional OS update and even security update that you build in,” Ferguson says.
The Nokia G42 ships with a rather low IP52 rating, which effectively means it can survive a limited amount of dust and water spray. For reference, the Fairphone 4 comes with a slightly more robust rating of IP54, which means it can survive water splashes from more directions.Rounding out the specs, the HMD Nokia G42 has a triple rear camera consisting of a 50-megapixel main, a 2-megapixel depth sensor, and a 2-megapixel macro sensor.
HMD’s announcement of the Nokia G42 comes shortly after a vote by the European Parliament in which lawmakers strongly endorsed a proposal tofor smartphones and other electronic devices sold in the European Union later this decade. But Ferguson says HMD’s plans are being influenced by consumer needs rather than upcoming legislation.
“We’re not doing it just to play into some regulation that may or may not come in some form, because even when it does, that would still be many years away from implementation,” Ferguson said. “This is something our users want now. This is something we as a business want to do now. And so that’s why we are investing so much in the design and working out how to do that.”
