HMD Global has launched the Nokia 300 4G Power Bank, a feature phone that does what its name promises: it doubles as a portable charger for your other devices. With a 3,750mAh battery, reverse charging, IP65 ruggedness, and an LED flashlight that HMD claims is twice as bright as the iPhone 16 Pro flash, this is not your typical dumbphone. It is a purposeful tool for users who need a reliable secondary device that lasts weeks on a single charge.

What You Need to Know

  • Nokia 300 4G Power Bank packs a 3,750mAh battery with up to 44 days of standby time and 26 hours of talk time.
  • Reverse charging at 5W lets you top up earbuds, smartwatches, or even a dying smartphone.
  • IP65 dust and water resistance, a bright LED flashlight, and a dedicated flashlight button make it ideal for outdoor use.
  • 4G VoLTE support ensures it works on modern networks, unlike older 2G-only feature phones.
  • Available for pre-order in the Philippines at PHP 1,990 (~$32), with wider availability expected.

Massive Battery in a Compact Body

The headline feature is the 3,750mAh battery, which is roughly 2.6 times the capacity of typical Nokia feature phones like the Nokia 235 4G. For a device running S30+ OS, a lightweight operating system designed for minimal power draw, this translates into exceptional endurance. HMD rates it at up to 44 days of standby time, 26 hours of talk time, and 23 hours of continuous flashlight use.

Charging the phone itself is handled via a USB-C port with support for up to 18W fast charging, a rare feature in the feature phone segment where microUSB and slow charging are still the norm.

Reverse Charging When You Need It

The Nokia 300 can charge other devices at 5W through its USB-C port. A dedicated button on the side activates reverse charging mode, so you can give your wireless earbuds, smartwatch, or even a friend's dying smartphone enough power for a few extra hours.

HMD bundles a 4-in-1 USB cable in the box. It is a USB-C to USB-C cable with adapters for USB-A and other connectors, so you do not need to carry extra cables.

Built for the Outdoors

The phone carries an IP65 rating, meaning it is fully dust-tight and protected against low-pressure water jets from any direction. The frame uses a textured anti-slip design with beveled edges for a secure grip. HMD has also included an ultra-bright LED flashlight that can be turned on or off with a dedicated button on the right side, without needing to open any app.

The rest of the spec sheet stays deliberately minimal: a 2.4-inch QVGA display, a 0.3MP rear camera (functional for documents, not photography), 4G VoLTE, Bluetooth, a 3.5mm headphone jack, FM radio, and a microSD slot supporting up to 32GB of storage.

Strategic Shift for HMD Global

The Nokia 300 4G Power Bank arrives as HMD Global winds down its Nokia-branded smartphone business to focus entirely on feature phones. This device targets a specific audience: users who want a secondary detox phone, outdoor workers who need durability and long battery life, and anyone in regions with unreliable power who needs a device that can also charge others.

Available in Black, Green, and Gold, the phone is already listed for pre-order in the Philippines at PHP 1,990 (around $32). Wider availability across Asia and other markets is expected in the coming months.

Bottom Line

The Nokia 300 4G Power Bank is not trying to be a smartphone. It is a well-executed feature phone that leans into its strengths: absurd battery life, rugged build, reverse charging capability, and modern network support. For anyone who needs a reliable backup phone or a durable travel companion, this is a compelling option at an accessible price.
