The environmentally conscious

Considering the environmental impact of our actions is becoming increasingly common – and rightfully so. Small changes can add up to big, positive impacts. But we don’t have to go totally off-grid to make a positive change. We still want to live our lives. If you know someone who leads a busy life but always has the planet on their mind, we’ve got some options for them.

Nokia X30 5G

In terms of materials used, Nokia X30 5G is our most environmentally friendly device to date, with a body made from 100% recycled aluminum and 65% recycled plastic. With 5G connectivity¹ and 90 Hz refresh rate display, browsing the net is fast and scrolling through feeds looks sharp. It’s sleek, stylish, and sturdy to boot. Perfect for those with a fast-paced lifestyle who want to curb their carbon footprint.

Nokia G42 5G

One way to reduce your phone’s impact on the planet is to keep that phone in use for longer, thereby reducing the number of smart devices you actually purchase in the long run. What better way to keep something going than by fixing it. Nokia G42 5G is our first repairable 5G smartphone.¹ That fast internet connectivity is great for keeping up with work and down-time. If the screen, charging port or back cover get damaged, you can buy tools and replacement parts from iFixit to repair at home.² You can even swap out the battery if it gets depleted. Replacing individual parts has a lighter cost on the planet – and the wallet – than buying a whole new phone.

The techno-curious

Curiosity is not restricted by age, but it can be particularly prevalent in the young and the elderly. So, if you’re shopping for a youngster who is due their first smartphone, or a grandparent fascinated with how technology has developed, these phones might be the ones you’re looking for.

The youngest in the family

As you get older, we tend to take on-the-go entertainment for granted. But for kids, the colors, the sounds, and the stories are all relatively new wonders. The trouble is, kids might not understand that a smart device is not just another toy that can be thrown around. That’s where the Nokia T10 Kids Edition comes in.
