HMD - Nokia’s parent company, is collaborating with Mattel to launch a Barbie-branded flip phone coming July. There is no information about the device’s pricing and features as of yet, but what is certain is that it is going to be the iconic flip phone from the old days, and not a smartphone.

 

This collaboration is part of HMD’s new project that aims to move away from selling its products under the brand name Nokia, and selling them under its own name instead. As part of this new venture, HMD plans to create multiple partnerships with other companies, and Mattel happens to be the first one.

HMD has partnered with iFixit, a repair specialist company, to create smartphone repairs including necessary replacement parts like display screen, battery, and charging port, along with repair guides for its customers. This service is specifically available for the new Nokia G22 to facilitate a greater lifetime of the phone.



Other big tech companies including Samsung and Google have also previously collaborated with iFixit to provide customers with easily available replacement parts of their products.

 

The process of self-repairing the Nokia G22 is not as simple, but also less complicated and time consuming than a battery swap on the previous-generation HMD phones. While demonstrating the process, head of product at HMD Adam Ferguson, spent about 5 minutes carefully opening the Nokia G22 and removing its delicate cable inside to swap the battery.
