Nokia used the start of the MWC to announce the self-repairing G22 smartphone. It did so along with a new logo, which oddly enough has not yet been applied to the G22 itself.
We are, for numerous reasons, doing longer and longer with our phones. Nokia welcomes that development and brings us the G22. A phone that is largely self-repairable. Thanks to a partnership with iFixit, parts and manuals are available to fix the most common problems yourself.
.Think about replacing a cracked screen, a faulty battery or charging port that no longer works. The advantage of this QuickFix program is, on the one hand, the lower cost but also that you won't have to lose your phone and possibly reset and restore it. To make the Nokia G22 even more sustainable, maker HMD Global has fitted the device with a 100% recycled back. However, HMD Global did fail to certify the device with reputable parties such as B Corp, Blue Angel, TCO or UL ECOLOGO.
.Recognizable Nokia G22 specifications
The Nokia G22 shares many of the features of the G21 from a year ago. For example, the device is still powered by a Unisoc T606 at up to 1.6 GHz. Up front still sits a 6.5-inch screen with smooth 90Hz display, 50+2+2MP camera system and 8MP selfie camera. This time, the G22 runs on Android version 12 with two promised OS updates and three years of security updates. 5G is still not included. Prices start from 199 euros.
New logo
Nokia also surprised us with a new logo. The previous logo with the iconic blue letters had been in use since 1978. Since then there have been a few changes, such as the arrival and disappearance of the slogan "connecting people," but no major changes. Until today.
With the new modern and minimalist logo, Nokia wants to focus less on the past and more on what it does today. Less smartphones and more B2B (business-to-business). Since 2016, Nokia has been leaving smartphone development and sales to HMD Global. It is not inconceivable that HMD Global will continue to use the old Nokia logo for its phones.
