The first phone I was ever gifted was a pink Nokia flip phone.
It had a chunky keyboard, the latest and greatest version of Snake and was the first device I learnt how to do a “selfie” on before that term even existed.
As smartphones began to dominate the market when I left high school my tried and true Nokia got pushed by the wayside, but the brand is back with bigger and better technology than ever before – in the same pink shade.

The Nokia G42 5G in So Pink is priced at $449 – or you can opt for the slightly less intense black and lilac shades – and can be purchased from retailers including Amazon, JB Hi-Fi and Kogan.
It looks like any other Android phone until you flip it over and see not one but three camera lenses ready to make the most of low light situations and scenic views.
The AI-powered imaging takes stunningly clear shots, both with the reverse camera and front-facing option, that can quickly and seamlessly upload to social media.
One of my favourite parts is the battery life.
Nokias are well-known for being virtually indestructible – and this phone is no different – with an epic three-day battery life that can see you through the entire weekend.
What’s more, this device has HMD Global’s special self-repairability kit included.
A cracked screen, as well as damaged charging ports and batteries can be repaired at home with an iFixit’s DIY kit and handy step-by-step repair guides.
So forget having to take it to a repair shop and fork out hundreds for small tweaks.
Bound to be a best-seller, head to Amazon, Kogan or JB Hi-Fi to pick up the smartphone.
