HMD is bringing its repairable phone initiative to the US with the Nokia G310, a $186 smartphone that’ll be available from T-Mobile and Metro by T-Mobile on August 24th. This is technically the third smartphone HMD has released with a design that makes it easier to replace commonly broken components like its battery and display, but its previous Nokia G22 and Nokia G42 were focused on European markets.

As with its previous repairable phones, HMD is partnering with iFixit to supply spare parts and repair guides for the G310.

    According to Android Authority

    HMD is also offering welcome extras like microSD support, a 3.5mm port, an IP52 rating, and a dedicated Google Assistant button. We’re glad to see microSD support and a headphone jack in particular as these features are rare on modern phones.
