The Nokia G42 is HMDGlobal's first 5G phone that can be easily repaired at home, even if it needs a new screen or battery.
HMD Global’s newest Nokia phone is one you can repair yourself if key parts of it get broken. The Nokia G42 is the second device from the company in its QuickFix lineup and the first with 5G connectivity, but the level of quick and easy repairability is the same as the 4G Nokia G22 announced earlier this year.
Recommended Videos It’s all straightforward too, and when the G22 launched, we watched a Nokia representative change the screen in about five minutes. Apparently, the 5G antennas make the job a tiny bit longer on the G42, but not by much. It’s all part of helping you maintain and keep your phone for longer, and iFixit will have parts for the G42 available for the next five years, while there’s also a three-year warranty on the phone in the U.K. from HMD Global.
But will you want the phone in the first place? HMD Global has made it in a bright purple color to entice fans of eye-catching phones, and a less vibrant grey too, plus it has made sure the specification is also suitably tempting. The 6.56-inch screen has a 90Hz refresh rate, there’s a Qualcomm Snapdragon 480+ processor with 6GB of RAM and 128GB of storage space, plus a 5,000mAh battery, NFC, and even a MicroSD card slot and a 3.5mm headphone jack.
