HMD Global has launched four new devices including an eco-friendly smartphone – the Nokia X30 5G, made with 100 per cent recycled aluminium and 65 per cent recycled plastic.

Florian Seiche, CEO, 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 shows our commitment to continue to work 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.”

“Today we expanded our device portfolio by launching refreshed X-series, G- series, C-series and the new tablet with four incredible examples that epitomize what these ranges stand for: longevity, sustainability and purposeful design. Our goal is to provide people with products they will love, trust and want to keep for longer,” added Sanmeet Kochhar.

Nokia X30 5G

Using 100 per cent FSC-certified and 94 per cent recycled paper box at a reduced packaging size saves on transportation CO2 emissions, made possible by removing the charger to tackle e-waste.

The smartphone comes with premium features including a 50MP PureView camera that uses optical image stabilisation (OIS) and artificial intelligence (AI) to capture ultra-wide angle and vibrant night time shots. The camera is protected by scratch-resistant Corning Gorilla Glass with DX+ that lets 98 per cent of all light reach the large sensor and content is brought to life on the 6.43” PureDisplay with bright colours and smooth viewing.
