The Finnish company HMD Global has officially introduced its new Nokia 300 Charge feature phone, which was released in early July under the name Nokia 300 Power Bank. Now the phone has appeared on the HMD website. The Nokia 300 Charge can be used as a power bank to charge other devices.
The phone is equipped with a large 3,700 mAh battery by the standards of feature phones, which provides enough power for other devices. The phone supports external charging current of 10W. This power is enough to charge very small devices, but it also allows you to charge another phone slowly, for example.
A cable with USB-A, USB-B and USB-C connectors is also available for charging different devices. Recharging from the phone to other devices is activated from the side button. In the basic phone functions, the Nokia 300 Charge battery lasts a long time. The phone is promised up to 40 days of standby time and up to 37.9 hours of talk time.
