HMD Global has unveiled the latest addition to its feature phone lineup: the Nokia 300 Charge. This robust device not only features a striking design but also boasts exceptional battery capacity, leaving typical feature phones far behind. With its impressive specifications, the Nokia 300 Charge is set to become a compelling choice for those seeking simplicity coupled with modern capabilities.
Equipped with a remarkable 3,700mAh battery, the Nokia 300 Charge outperforms many of its counterparts, who usually come with significantly less power. The device features a USB-C port that allows for fast charging at 10W, as well as the convenience of reverse charging at the same speed. A dedicated “Out” button provides users easy access to this feature, enabling them to share power with other devices when needed.
The Nokia 300 Charge highlights its 3,700mAh battery capacity and reverse charging capability
While 3,700mAh may not seem substantial compared to smartphones, it far exceeds the capacity of typical feature phones. For instance, the Nokia 110 Power has a 1,750mAh battery, and the 2023 version of the Nokia 105 houses merely a 1,000mAh battery. HMD claims that the Nokia 300 Charge can sustain up to 40 days on standby and offers 37 hours of talk time. This makes it an excellent option for those needing a reliable backup phone—though it’s important to note its limitations, including support for only dual-band 2G connectivity (900MHz and 1,800MHz), which may prevent functionality in certain regions.
The Nokia 300 Charge comes with a powerful LED flashlight
The design of the Nokia 300 Charge features angular contours and textured sides, with color options in Sandstone and Green. Notably, the device is equipped with a flashlight reported to be four times brighter than that of the Nokia 105 and double that of the iPhone 16 Pro. Additionally, while it does include a camera, the 320 x 240px resolution is quite modest, mostly serving as a secondary feature.
Measuring 136.6mm tall, 55mm wide, and 14.94mm thick, the Nokia 300 Charge weighs in at 138g. The device sports a 2.4” LCD display with a resolution of 320 x 240px and runs on the S30+ operating system with an Unisoc SC6531E chipset. With just 4MB of RAM and 4MB of internal storage, user expectations should remain moderate; fortunately, microSD support is available for cards up to 32GB, and a 3.5mm headphone jack is included for audio needs.
Color options for the Nokia 300 Charge
The Nokia 300 Charge is currently available in the Philippines at prices around PHP 2,190 on Lazada (approximately $35 / €30 / ₹3,400), while Shopee offers it for PHP 1,990. It is also listed on Shopee Malaysia for MYR 148 (roughly $37 / €31 / ₹3,500). It's worth noting that in some regions, the device is marketed under the "Nokia 300 Power Bank" name.
