Nokia G22: The repair-it-yourself budget phone, in partnership with iFixit.
SpecEagle Editorial·Mar 2023·$180·Score 50/100
G22 brought Fairphone's repairability ethos to the true budget tier — an iFixit partnership with guides and parts for DIY battery, screen and port swaps, plus three-day battery life. The Unisoc chip is slow, but the point is longevity and sustainability over speed, and on that it quietly delivers.
