HMD Global has announced two new affordable smartphones that will be available on T-Mobile and Metro by T-Mobile. The more notable of the two is the Nokia G310 5G, whose biggest claim to fame is its ease of repair. It features the company’s “QuickFix” design, which was first demonstrated at MWC 2023 earlier this year, and allows end users to easily repair or replace many of its components.
To this end, the company has partnered with iFixit to provide easy-to-follow repair guides and Genuine spare parts.
In terms of configuration, the G310 5G is equipped with a 6.6-inch HD+ display with a refresh rate of 90Hz. It is powered by Snapdragon 480+ SoC paired with 4GB RAM and 128GB inbuilt storage that is expandable via microSD card. Imaging options include a triple-camera setup at the rear, led by a 50MP shooter with “artificial intelligence algorithm enhancements.”
There is also a 2MP macro camera and a 2MP depth sensor to go with it. It has an 8MP camera on the front for selfies and video chats.
The device also comes with Nokia OZO Audio for enhanced audio playback and improved video recording. Other hardware specifications include a 5,000mAh Nokia smartphone battery, 20W fast charging, NFC chip and fingerprint reader. On the software front, it runs Android 13 out of the box.
The G310 5G is Nokia’s third QuickFix-designed smartphone released this year, bringing a breath of fresh air to an industry where device repairs are becoming increasingly difficult. You can buy it online or in-store at T-Mobile and Metro by T -Mobile starting August 24 for $186.
Alongside the G310, HMD also launched the Nokia C210, which the company claims will be a super durable device thanks to its metal chassis and tempered display glass. It has an IP 52 rating, which means limited water and dust resistance, but unlike the G310, it lacks 5G connectivity. The device features a 6.3-inch HD+ display and is powered by Snapdragon 662 SoC. Other hardware features include 3GB of RAM and 32GB of inbuilt storage, expandable up to 512GB using a microSD card. It also comes with a 3,000mAH non-removableNokia C210 battery.
In terms of imaging, it comes with a dual-camera setup on the back that includes a 13MP AF primary camera and a 2MP depth sensor. In terms of software, it runs Android 13 and supports face unlock. The Nokia C210 is priced at just $109 and will be available starting September 14 in Metro by T-Mobile stores and online.
