This device is another collaboration with iFixit, and you can find repair kits for the display, charging port, and spare batteries on the company's site. HMD boasts this phone as the first repairable 5G smartphone on the market.“I'm thrilled to see how our partnership with HMD Global is turning the tide in favor of self-repairs. This is not just about providing parts; it's about seeding the DIY ethos among consumers and signaling that the era of self-service repairs is truly upon us.
There's another cool angle to this phone, and it's the color. HMD calls it"So Purple," taking a page from Google's naming book, and in reality it's a very cool and fresh color. Other notable specs include a Snapdragon 480+ 5G platform, a 50MP main camera, a 6.56” HD+ display, and a 3-day battery life with 800 charge cycles. The Nokia G42 5G will be available in Europe for 249 euros.
It's an interesting idea, especially given that the display, charging port, and battery are the most vulnerable smartphone parts and are replaced most often. What do you think about it? Would you buy this phone and replace its screen yourself?
