HMD Global has launched three new Nokia devices. The new C32 and Nokia C22 are said to offer up to three-day battery life with improved imaging and durability in the C-series and the first Nokia. The G22 benefits from a global collaboration with American e-commerce and how-to website iFixit which sells repair parts, tools and repair guides and affordable parts.

Ben Wood, Chief Analyst, CCS Insight commented: “The ability to repair smartphones easily and affordably will become a key differentiator in the market. CCS Insight’s end-user research reflects this with approximately half of mobile phone users in Western Europe saying they would like to be able to have their device repaired at a reasonable cost if they break outside of the warranty period.”

Adam Ferguson, Head of Product Marketing, HMD Global: “People value long-lasting, quality devices and they shouldn’t have to compromise on price to get it. The new Nokia G22 is purposefully built with a repairable design so you can keep it even longer, and with advanced imaging on Nokia C32 and improved durability on Nokia C22, we are bringing even more value to the C-series.”
