ver forty days on a single charge and the ability to revive a dead smartphone on the road: HMD has unveiled the Nokia 300 Charge feature phone, packing a massive 3,700 mAh battery. For a basic handset, that is more than double the capacity of standard feature phones. Its main selling point is purely practical: a dedicated side button labeled "Out" activates 10W reverse charging via a modern USB-C port. Press the button, and the handset doubles as an emergency power bank for your primary device.
Under the hood, the device runs on an entry-level Unisoc SC6531E processor paired with 4 MB of RAM and 4 MB of internal storage, expandable up to 32 GB via a microSD card slot. It features a 2.4-inch display with a resolution of 320×240 pixels running the proprietary S30+ operating system. According to HMD, the battery delivers up to 37 hours of continuous talk time. The top edge houses a built-in flashlight that the company claims is twice as bright as the flash on the iPhone 16 Pro. However, this is not an all-around survival tool: connectivity is limited strictly to 2G networks (900 and 1800 MHz bands), and the rear camera delivers a modest 320×240 pixel resolution.
Visually, the newcomer looks like a rugged brick with chiseled edges and textured plastic, though it lacks official water- or drop-resistance ratings. Rather than an indestructible handset built for extreme conditions, HMD has delivered a durable backup phone for emergency calls, long trips, and quick battery top-ups that you can toss into the bottom of a backpack without worry.
