Nokia says some parts of the G22 are made with recycled plastics, too. Despite mainstream manufacturers' foot-dragging, there's a market for DIY- and Earth-friendly smartphones.

In 2020, smartphones above $800 accounted for 11% of all shipments -- this proportion grew to 16% in 2021, and 18% in 2022. The Nokia G22 is a smartphone that can be fixed at home.
