The huge battery trend may have started with smartphones, but feature phones are getting in on it too \u2013 HMD just announced the Nokia 300 Charge<\/a>, which has more than double the battery capacity of a typical feature phone.<\/p>\n

The Charge is equipped with a 3,700mAh battery and a USB-C port. This port can fill up the internal battery at 10W and \u2013 at the push of the dedicated \u201cOut\u201d button on the side \u2013 can also do 10W reverse charging.<\/p>\n

Now, 3,700mAh doesn\u2019t sound huge, but we can\u2019t compare this to smartphones. Look at the Nokia 110 Power<\/a>, for example \u2013 it has a 1,750mAh battery. And that\u2019s a phone with \u201cPower\u201d in its name. The Nokia 105 (2023)<\/a> has only a 1,000mAh battery.<\/p>\n

HMD claims that the 300 Charge can last over 40 days on standby and up to 37 hours of talk time. This could make it a good backup phone, but keep in mind that it\u2019s very, very limited \u2013 it only has dual-band 2G connectivity (900MHz and 1,800MHz), which means that it won\u2019t even work in a lot of countries.<\/p>\n

\"The

The phone also has a flashlight on the top side \u2013 this is apparently 4x brighter than the Nokia 105 flashlight and 2x brighter than an iPhone 16 Pro. And yes, this is a flashlight, not a camera flash, even though this model does have a camera (if we\u2019re still calling 320 x 240px sensors that).<\/p>\n

With its angular design, textured sides, Sandstone and Green colorways, the Nokia 300 Charge certainly tries to sell a rugged look. However, there are no water resistance or impact protection claims on the specs page. You may want to check out the Nokia 123 Shield<\/a> (IP65, 1,750mAh battery) or HMD Terra M<\/a> (IP69K, 2,510mAh) if you want something actually rugged.<\/p>\n

Anyway, the Charge measures 136.6mm tall, 55mm wide and a fairly chunky 14.94mm thick too \u2013 and it weighs 138g. The phone has a 2.4\u201d LCD with 320 x 240px resolution and runs the S30+ OS on an Unisoc SC6531E chipset. With 4MB \u2013 no, not 4GB \u2013 of RAM and 4MB of storage you shouldn\u2019t expect much. There is a microSD slot, though, with support for cards up to 32GB. And yes, there is a 3.5mm headphone jack.<\/p>\n

The Nokia 300 Charge can be found in the Philippines on retailers like Lazada<\/a>, which is asking PHP 2,190 for it \u2013 this converts to $35 \/ \u20ac30 \/ \u20b93,400. Shopee<\/a> has it at PHP 1,990 instead. We also spotted it on Shopee Malaysia<\/a> for MYR 148 ($37 \/ \u20ac31 \/ \u20b93,500). Note that the phone is sold as the \u201cNokia 300 Power Bank\u201d instead of the \u201cCharge\u201d.<\/p>\n
