HMD is announcing a trio of new smartphones today \u2014 the Nokia G60 5G, C31, and X30 5G \u2014 and says the X30 5G is the \u201cmost eco-friendly smartphone\u201d it\u2019s ever produced. The three phones are focused on Europe, and are distinct from the range of devices that HMD sells in the US. <\/p>\n

As well as being sold outright, the Nokia X30 5G will be one of a handful of phones available via HMD\u2019s new subscription service called \u201cCircular,\u201d where customers can subscribe to get a handset for a monthly fee and receive incentives to use a phone for as long as possible. Circular will initially be available in the UK and Germany, but HMD says it\u2019s planning a global launch \u201cin the coming months.\u201d <\/p>\n

HMD justifies its eco-friendly claims about the Nokia X30 5G with the amount of recycled materials used in the construction of the handset. It features a 100 percent recycled aluminum frame and a back panel that\u2019s made from 65 percent recycled plastic, and ships in a box made from 70 percent recycled paper. The company also says it\u2019ll support it with three years of OS upgrades and monthly security updates, and offers a three-year warranty as standard. <\/p>\n
