HMD has introduced the Nokia 300 Charge, a push-button phone, to the global market. It has no unnecessary features: no smart assistant, no high-resolution camera, and not even the touchscreen that most people are used to. Instead, it’s a phone designed to last as long as possible without needing to be recharged.

The Nokia 300 Charge features a 3,700 mAh battery, which is very large for a flip phone, and uses a USB-C port for charging. According to HMD, the device can last up to 40 days on standby and provides users with up to 37 hours of continuous talk time.
The large battery also gives the phone another useful feature. There is a dedicated “Out” button on the side panel; when pressed, the Nokia 300 Charge activates a 10-watt reverse charging function, allowing you to charge other compatible devices. This is similar to the concept that HMD has already implemented in the Nokia 123 Shield – another rugged, feature-free push-button phone that the company designed with an emphasis on long battery life rather than a host of features.
The Nokia 300 Charge measures 136.6×55×14.94 mm and weighs just 138 g. The phone features a 2.4-inch LCD display with a resolution of 320×240, a Unisoc SC6531E chip, and the S30+ operating system. The same combination of chip and software is also used in the Nokia 123 Shield. It has just 4 MB each of RAM and internal storage (yes, that’s right – 4 MB, not GB). But it does have a microSD card slot supporting up to 32 GB and a 3.5 mm headphone jack.

There’s a catch when it comes to connectivity – the phone only supports the 900 and 1800 MHz bands on 2G networks, so it likely won’t work in every country. This puts it on par with older Nokia flip phones, although HMD is gradually equipping its entire lineup with USB-C. The company previously made this transition with the Nokia 6310, 5310, and 230 models.

HMD will sell the Nokia 300 Charge in three colors: sand, green, and black. The price will be approximately $40, and the company has already listed the device on its global website, so its global launch is likely just around the corner.
