Following in the footsteps of the Nokia G22, the company has now launched the Nokia G42, which is also designed to be focused on easy repairability.
Like the previous Nokia G22, the Nokia G42 will be able to be repaired with replaceable parts thanks to its QuickFix design due in part to Nokia’s partnership with iFixit.
This means that users will be able to replace four major components if they wear out, this includes the G42’s battery, screen, charging port, and back cover.
Two notable upgrades over the previous Nokia G22 are that the Nokia G42 now has support for 5G connectivity and now features a Snapdragon 480 Plus chipset over a Unisoc T606 in its predecessor.
The Nokia G42 is said to come with 3 years of monthly security updates and 2 years of OS upgrades.
