The Nokia G22 is a smartphone that’s been built to be easy to repair. Or, more specifically, easy to swap out the battery, charging port and screen. According to Nokia manufacturer HMD, those three components are the most likely to damage or wear out through ordinary use. So, by making these components easier to swap out, people will theoretically be able to keep their phones for longer.
It’s still too early to say how that will play out in practice, but it’s still an important step for the phone industry. But saying a phone is easily repairable and making sure it can actually be done by ordinary people is another matter entirely. So I got my hands on the Nokia G22 and decided to go through a repair myself — following instructions from repair specialists iFixit.
