- Massive Battery Footprint: Houses a 3,700mAh removable cell—the largest battery capacity ever included in a Nokia-branded feature phone.
- 10W Reverse Power Sharing: Features a dedicated physical “Out” button to charge external smartphones and accessories via 10W wired power output.
- Extreme Endurance Specs: Delivers up to 40 days of standby time and over 37 hours of uninterrupted call time.
- Regional Rollout Details: Available initially in select Asian markets, launching in the Philippines for 2,190 PHP (around $38 USD).
Are we back in the 2000s? I’m suddenly feeling nostalgic now that Nokia has unveiled its Nokia 300 Charge, a ruggedly styled feature phone engineered primarily to act as both a reliable emergency communicator and a pocketable power bank. The standout feature of the device is its enormous 3,700mAh removable battery.
Just to put things into perspective, that capacity translates into extraordinary longevity: up to 40 days of standby endurance and 37 hours of continuous talk time on a single charge.
Let’s find out what else this baby has to offer.

Pressing a dedicated physical “Out” toggle on the side flips the device into a 10W reverse-charging mode. To support its position as a travel backup or emergency kit essential, the 138-gram chassis incorporates several practical hardware decisions:
- Upgraded LED Torch: Mounted to the top edge, offering four times the illumination of earlier entry-level models.
- Textured Exterior: Features anti-slip side and back grips for durability in harsh conditions without unnecessary bulk.
- Essential Storage & Audio: Retains classic hardware staples including a 3.5mm headphone jack and a microSD card slot supporting up to 32GB of expandable storage.
Driven by a simple Unisoc SC6531E processor running S30+ software, the phone keeps energy draw to an absolute minimum. A 2.4-inch QVGA display and basic rear camera handle minimal visual tasks.
Price and Connectivity Considerations
The Nokia 300 Charge is initially launching in select markets like the Philippines in Sandstone, Green, and Black colorways for 2,190 PHP (approximately $38 USD).
Prospective international buyers should note that the device relies strictly on legacy 2G GSM frequency bands (900MHz / 1800MHz).
Ready to go back in time? Well, I sure am. Let’s grab a Nokia and take it back to 2000.
