HMD has announced the Nokia 300 Charge, a new feature phone with a 3,700mAh battery and reverse charging support. The phone has a ruggedised design and includes a torch light.
The large battery is significantly bigger than what is typical for feature phones, allowing the device to double as a power bank for other gadgets. No pricing or availability details have been announced yet.
Feature phones remain a significant segment in price-sensitive markets like rural India, where long battery life and durability are key selling points. The 3,700mAh battery in the Nokia 300 Charge is comparable to entry-level smartphone capacities, and the reverse charging feature adds utility for users without reliable grid power. HMD's strategy appears to target users who want a backup device or a basic phone with smartphone-level battery endurance. The company is expected to price the phone competitively, likely under Rs 3,000, to compete with offerings from JioPhone and other feature phone makers. The actual launch date will determine how soon it reaches retail shelves.
