HMD Global, the home of Nokia phones, has announced the launch of four new devices including their most eco-friendly smartphone yet — the Nokia X30 5G. The smartphone is made with 100 percent recycled aluminum and 65 percent recycled plastic, and comes with more responsible packaging.
Florian Seiche, CEO of HMD Global, said: “At HMD Global, home of Nokia phones, we want people to keep their phones for longer and this can be seen across three areas. We build our devices with more recycled materials and continue to boost our longevity heritage with software and security updates. And we are working hard to live this approach as a company, with our business-wide sustainability pledges that show our commitment to continue working harder to protect tomorrow.”
Sanmeet Singh Kochhar, vice president, HMD Global (MENA and India), said: “Consumers today are environmentally conscious and want to keep their phones for longer, as long as their device experience is not compromised. At HMD Global, we are empowering people to avoid early device replacements. Our longevity promise through the Nokia X30 5G encourages more sustainable usage.”
Nokia X30 5G
The Nokia X30 5G is built with a 100 percent recycled aluminum frame and a 65 percent recycled plastic back. Using 100 percent FSC-certified and 94 percent recycled paper box at a reduced packaging size saves on transportation CO2 emissions, made possible by removing the charger to tackle e-waste.
With zero compromise on the phone’s performance, the Nokia X30 5G comes with premium features including an enhanced photo experience. The 50 MP PureView camera uses Optical Image Stabilization and AI to capture stunning ultra-wide angle and vibrant night time shots. The camera is protected by scratch-resistant Corning Gorilla Glass with DX+ that lets 98 percent of all light reach the large sensor and content is brought to life on the 6.43-inch PureDisplay with bright colors and smooth viewing. The price starts at SR1,999 ($530).
Nokia G60 5G
Sustainably crafted with 100 percent recycled plastic back and 60 percent recycled plastic frame, the Nokia G60 5G brings X-series longevity to the G-series for the first time. Helping people keep their phone for longer, it comes with the “3-3-3” promise — three years of Android OS upgrades, three years of monthly security updates, and an extended three-year warranty at no extra cost. The price starts from SR1,149.
Nokia C31
Nokia C31, starting at a price of SR559, is the latest smartphone from the popular C-series.
