Nokia has unveiled a new retro-style phone, but it has an unexpected feature: the ability to be used as a power bank to charge other devices.
The Nokia Charge 300 comes with very modest specifications compared to the 2026 smartphones, designed to be a practical and simple phone, while offering additional useful functions.
The standout feature of the phone is that it can be used as a power bank via a 10-watt USB-C port to charge headphones or even nearly fully charge an iPhone.
Although its battery capacity is only 3700 mAh, which is less than that of standalone power banks, it is considered large for a simple phone and according to Nokia, it provides up to 37 hours of talk time or 40 days in standby time.
The phone is also equipped with a very bright LED flashlight, making it a practical tool for everyday use.
Other specifications are very modest, including a 2.4-inch QVGA display, a low-resolution camera, a basic processor, and only 4 megabytes of RAM and internal memory.
It can only be used for calls and text messages via the traditional T9 keyboard, with a 3.5mm headphone jack for playing pre-loaded audio files.
The phone is available in black, green, and sand (or beige) colors, weighing 138 grams.
Nokia has not yet announced when it will be available in markets worldwide; it is currently available in the Philippines at a price of about $32.
