Nokia budget phone seeks to promote DIY repair. THE NOKIA G22 is the latest smartphone that aims to promote self-repair. The long-established brand's current owner, HMD Global (aka Nokia Mobile), has partnered with repair specialist iFixit to offer parts, tools and full DIY guides at launch that cover four frequently damaged or exhausted units: the screen, the battery, the back cover and the charging port. Both the phone and the repair kits are reasonably priced. The G22 costs ￡169 and the kits range from ￡22.99 to ￡49.99 (parts can also be bought more cheaply if you already have the tools). The OEM guides, marketed under the QuickFix programme, are available free of charge both online and as downloadable PDFs at iFixit's site. All the tools are standard (eg tweezers, picks, standard Phillips and Torx bits).
