We’ve teamed up with HMD Global to give one very lucky Mouths of Mums member a fabulous, new Nokia mobile phone! And this isn’t just any mobile phone – this one can be repaired by YOU, if you happen to crack the screen!

HMD Global, the home of Nokia phones, has revealed the brand-new repairable phone, the Nokia G42 in So Purple.

Here’s what HMD Global has to say about this amazing new phone:

If you’ve ever dropped a phone, you’ve probably had to live with a cracked screen. The Nokia G42 is built with QuickFix repairability so you can replace cracked screens, bent charging ports and old batteries, all by yourself. In collaboration with iFixit, Nokia G42 can be repaired with handy step-by-step repair guides and affordable replacement parts starting at AUD$42.99 RRP.

Coming hot on the heels of the 2023 Colour of the Year – Digital Lavender, predicted by global trend forecasting experts WSGN, Nokia G42 arrives in So Purple and is our first repairable smartphone with 5G connectivity so you can snap, share, shop, stream in style, all at your own pace. Plus, it’s made with 65% recycled back cover and boxed in FSC®-certified mixed packaging.

Lars Silberbauer, CMO of HMD Global, the home of Nokia phones said: “It’s safe to say Purple is having a moment this year. Not only does the Nokia G42 look great, it’s also a continuation of our repairability journey which is now a fundamental part of the way we design smartphones.”

Kyle Wiens, CEO, iFixit: “I’m thrilled to see how our partnership with HMD Global is turning the tide in favour of self-repairs. This is not just about providing parts; it’s about seeding the DIY ethos among consumers and signalling that the era of self-service repairs is truly upon us.”

Brenden Folitarik, HMD Global’s Country Manager for Australia, New Zealand and the Pacific Islands: “We are excited to bring the repairable Nokia G42 to the Australian market. The Nokia G42 offers both longevity and performance with the addition of 5G”, said Mr Folitarik.

So fast

Get answers. Share photos. Browse, shop, work and play – whatever being online means for you, 5G1 connectivity powered by the Qualcomm®Snapdragon™ 480+ 5G Mobile Platform, gets you where you want to go, fast. Plus, with plenty of memory, loads of storage space and smart background optimisation, you can jump from one app to the other with no problems.

So clear

The 50MP camera works with some of our smartest imaging AI to capture clear shots, even in tougher conditions. Portrait Mode brings your focus point into the limelight while Night Mode helps with quality shots after dark which can all be viewed on the 6.56” HD+ display. And with OZO 3D audio capture, your videos sound as good as they look.

So much battery

With a whopping 3-day battery life, your Nokia G42 battery will keep 80% of its original capacity after 800 full charging cycles – that’s about four years of charges.

So durable and secure

Like all our Nokia phones, Nokia G42 is built to last and has been rigorously tested for durability against everyday knocks. It also stays up to date, with 3 years of monthly security updates and 2 years of OS upgrades5.

With Android™13, you have more control over what information apps can and can’t access including specific photos, videos and clipboard history. With up to 3 years of monthly security updates5, you won’t be worrying about ‘outdated protection’ any time soon.

Pricing, availability and accessories

Nokia G42 in So Purple will be available in Australia in early August (exact date to be advised) in 6/128 GB storage and memory configurations from AUD$449 RRP from Nokia.com and leading retail partners.

You can add further protection for your Nokia G42 with a clear case. Made from 100% recycled materials with fully recyclable packaging, the ultra-slim, lightweight case doesn’t hide your phone’s design. Available from Nokia.com for AUD$29 RRP.

At-home Fit Kits and replacement parts for Nokia G42 are available from iFixit.com in Australia, including display at AUD$89.99, battery at AUD$49.99, and charging port at AUD$42.99.
