As a user of the Nokia 6300 4G, here are my thoughts: - I used this phone for around 2 months now, as some kind of "digital detox" ;) I was waaaay too much on KZfaq and TikTok, and this phone helped me reducing my hours on those platforms immensely, so that's good. :D - the build is surprisingly lightweight and plastic-y. I wouldn't say exactly cheap tho, and you definitly get used to it after some time. (the phone also makes some kind of creak-sounds when you try to bend it, which only adds to that plastic-y feel ._. ) The keypad is great tho (maybe a bit small) and the Navigation-keys are responsive. What i don't like is the position of the power-button and the absence of volume-keys. Idk, but those would be a real quality-of-life-improvement in the long-term. (you always have to navigate to the homescreen just to adjust the volume or screen-brightness and then go back to the app you were on...) - the screen is bad. I have nothing else to say than that.😂 Comming from an 1080p Smartphone-Screen, it was DEFINITLY a BIG downgrade. The viweing-angles are, well… nonexistand. But you definitly get used to it after a week or so, and the colours are actually quite nice and accurate. :) But this phone would benefit from a better screen SO MUCH. - The camera isn't great, but that's to be expected. - I can only recommend to disable LTE/4G in the settings. Like for real. The phone sometimes just randomly disconnects from the Network and does not re-connect before rebooting. This does not happen on 3G/2G, and because the phone doesn't need that much data anyways, it's not that big of an issue. :) (however, there is also a bug on 2G/3G where, when you were connected to WiFi and then switch over to Mobile data, it doesn't automatically use mobile data, you have to enable flight mode, wait until it's disconnected from the network, and then disable it again. It's kinda weird, but then again, you get used to it!! ;) ) - The phone is terrible at remembering WiFi-Networks. It sometimes does, it sometimes doesn't. It has a mind of it's own in a way. :D - The intire OS lags constantly and never runs smooth. It lags when you open the app drawer. It lags when you start an app. It lags when you use the app. It lags when you close the app. I don't think that it is about bad optimaziation, more that of KaiOS's general performance (given on what other people on other devices say). You learn to deal with it, but it is always unpleasant when it accurs (which means everytime when you use the device in any Scenario besides checking the time ;-;). - The battery life isn't what i expected from a feature phone. It lasts around one day of intense usage (about 6h of screen-on time) and 3 days of 'moderate' usage (mixed WiFi-cellular usage ; listening to music ; texting/calling ; playing snake ;) ; checking NokiaMob ; etc.). I did not want to sound too negative in my Round-up tho: I kinda like this device, even with it's quirks and blemishes. It's neither the snappiest (or even snappy at all) nor is it the most 'premium', but it is reliable and helps you to refocus on your life and maybe spend less wasted time on your phone. I also kind of like the design, it is simple but not boring-simple. I do think that the phone is a bit lenghty tho. And the screen is ridicolously small for the size of the phone. The design of the phone really shines when it's looked at from an angle: Then it doesnt seem als 'long' and you can't see the edges of the screen. It's all in all a cute phone (and the Cyan Colour looks soo cool :3).

Here, writting from a 6300. I love this phone!, its just so portable n simple

I have used this daily since february now and only recently am i starting to really get used to it and actually love it. I finally have it the way i want it now as i managed to delete a lot of the bloatware like pre installed games and widgets. Ive finally got used to turn based navigation on google maps, its actually quite easy and not at all as confusuing as i thought ... i just needed to adjust the way i use it. I have deleted my facebook account and opted to use whatsapp to stay in touch with people. whatsapp is a pleasure to use on it, and i managed to get my icloud emails via the email app which is handy. i have all notifications turned off for text messages and whatsapp, and only check my messages when i want to. calls still come in normally tho ofcourse. pretty much my only critisim left at this point is that often when you close an app like google and reopen it then it dosn't save the tab or anything you had open, even if it was closed for like a second say if you needed to check something on another app. honestly yeah this is frustrating but hey if its frustrating to use then youll use it less aye. thats how i looked at it :D

Nokia never goes wrong when it comes to simplicity and ease of use. I have this phone as a backup but mainly use it as my music device for my mp3 collection. No complaints so far after 2 months of use.

I wouldn't use it for social media. But this phone would be awesome. I love that they still have Snake pre installed.

The best part of this device is the design. It looks more classic and Nokia-like than 8000 4G. Amazing review btw. Waiting for 2760 review, as there is huge leap in the software than other kaios devices.

That's a good video! I'm a Japanese writer. The name is ``Mikan Oshidari（忍足みかん🍊）''. I'm writing a book called ``I Want to Quit Being a Smartphone Slave.'' I switched to a flip phone because of my smartphone addiction. It's all about mental health. I no longer get tired of smartphone screens, notification sounds, and unnecessary connections. It's comfortable. Only the really necessary communications will come to your flip phone. There is no inconvenience. I think flip phones should be reevaluated more globally. Thank you for the wonderful video.

The old 6300 was wayyy morrrreeee coool.. with notification led and a sharp tweaking speakers

I love this phone. I just ordered one, can't wait to get it

I enjoy your videos, thanks 🙏🏻

this makes me appreciate my phone, sometimes i take it for granted

The icons and color representation looks sick

Thank you! Good review!

I've gotten one after watching your video and doing more research. I struggled for the first 2 days having come from a smartphone, but its now been a month and I love this phone! Here is why it's working for me: 1. Its super minimalist yet practical I really love how this is an essentialist's phone. There is nothing on it that you do not need. I've went a step further and made sure im not connected to any Google services (so i dont get KZfaq or G search recommendations - highly addictive and no good!). The keypad forces you to slow down which helps you write shorter, more to the point messages. The limited Google maps feature encourages you to pay more attention to road signs (and it's helped me navigate roads better). 2. It's a conversation starter I love taking this phone out. When people ask me about it, it allows me to tell them about how this is helping me gain control of my phone, not the other way around. Even when they dont ask me, I make sure to bring up the topic so they know XD 3. It's a reminder to stay calm This one is huge for me. Unlike how having a smartphone in sight is already a distraction - notifications, anxiety, etc - having this nokia in sight is a constant reminder that ... there's nothing on it! It brings an instant feeling of peace and makes you focus more on the task (or break) at hand. 4. It is effective It makes calls, and sends messages. 5. It helped me connect more with people Due to the typing being laborsome, it encourages me to have more phone calls, and send more voice notes on whatsapp, or even arrange to meet them in person. All which helps me connect with others better than texting. I recommend this phone. I may "upgrade" to the 2720 flip as i have large hands and those buttons seem a bit bigger, but im a happy nokia revert :)

Just 2 things I have to say: - Damn this phone is better than my actual phone. I would love use it for living a minimalist life; - Very good video, you won a new subscriber!;

as someone who owned the OG 6300 back in the day, this 4g variant gives me nostalgia. just little disappointed that the back isn't like OG mixture of glossy body and a metal removable back

I have the 3310 3g. I was so disappointed that i bought the wrong version as it only does data connectivity. So this is so cool!

Thank you so much for your content. I am currently looking at Nokia dumb phones and you are a great resource for every model I am interested in.

abdulla i reallyy like your nokia feature phone videos keep doing themm ❤

I really like these feature phones design. I have 8110 4G.

This phone looks amazing dazzling

Basically a smartphone without much social media for less than $100. Also has a built in internet radio app which lets you basically listen to anything.

hmd should try atleast S40 or S60 devices again, S30 and kai os seems to be useless 😞😞😞 Please give feedback to hmd global,

I have this phone as a backup phone . My only gripe is that KaiOS is so slow on the quad-core processor that the phone is running .Especially for the internet browser , youtube and so on . I wonder if KaiOS can collaborate with Opera to revive Opera Mini ( in the style of data compression servers , J2ME version ) for KaiOS ; it will be a game changer .

That is really funny. I have the original 6300 as my backup work phone rn... I really love it. Might consider buying one for the nostalgic fealing of my backup work phone.

My dad would love this because he works in construction 😅

Thank you so much abdullah for the review! I have to ask tho, does it have a mobiel hotspot feature? If so do you recommend it for this purpose

Does the KZfaq app play videos at a lower resolution so that less data is being used, or does the phone have to downsize the high Res video stream which would mean more data is being used?

*Greatest phone device!* 🤳🏻

I write a fair amount, and when its time for that, I use a laptop - I've got to have a keyboard. So I use a phone as a phone these days (shocking, no?), The 6300 [unlike most smart phones] slips in the pocket comfortably and is not a bother. That in mind, the ability to use wifi or hot spot [the latter being problematic to 3g design], this phone meets my needs perfectly. The backlit keys are a nice touch too. Delete the fakebook app [your information is theirs], and off you go... The only con is perhaps a bit nit picky: the unit converter app needs expansion. Torque would be a good addition. The old N900 [Maemo system] was feature rich at release by comparison, but telco's have pushed 3g off the map in the US. I think T-mobile officially buries it on July 1st, and other carriers are already gone. When Nokia uses Linux, good things happen - the 6300 is holding up well for me..

Hi thank you for the review!! I have a question! this phone can connect to garmin watch???

this might just be the ultimate feature phone

Nokia that never needs back cover and a temperedglass. A true legend phone.

Perfect!💕😍

Good price, yt, WhatsApp, google maps and Facebook, this is one of Nokias best!

One word for the Nokia 6300 : perfect

Old 6300 was awesome 😎

Thank you for the review. I plan on buying the T10 and this: the former will cover my Android needs and the latter for my daily communication needs. There's a lot to say for going minimalist, and I like how this phone tries to go for it. Before anyone tells me how terrible the current HMD-Nokia phones are: my first HMD-Nokia unit was the Nokia 1, and I loved it despite what everybody was telling me. I know what I want from a phone. :)

I have it. It's a secondary phone for me. It's very functional for the price.

This review is super helpful, but I have one question how easy is youtube to use ? I've had the nokia 3100 and when I'm not on it I use youtube all the time. I'd like a phone that doesn't have any google or youtube access but has google maps. Will this be pretty close to that even though it has the 2 I dont want ?

I Hope That Signal sometime still working on Nokia Feature Phones. Good Video! All the best from Germany !

Love color 😍

The Nokia return

Great review. What kind of phone is that red one on the left?

hi! apart from this, what other nokia basic phones offer hotspot feature? thanks!

Sorry to be off-topic, but does anyone know when Nokia will be releasing their next dumb/feature phone in the UK? Any due to come out later in the year at all? Thanks!

3 quick questions: How do you program the multi-fuction key? And what are the possible actions it can be programmed to do? There is nothing in the User Guide about this. is there an option for any-key answer? I don't have time at the moment but I do intend to post my detailed feelings about this phone as a separate comment. For now I'll just say: my 82 year old mother likes it but I found it to be a nightmare to set up for her and find it to have a very cheap build quality. I find it hard to imagine using this phone unless I wanted to make and receive phone calls and do nothing else. That would make the target demographic seniors but in my opinion there is no way an elderly person could set up this phone on their own. But my mom saw this phone and it reminded her of her beloved Nokia 2126 and 2285 phones and so we'll see what her experience is in the coming weeks of using it. I don't mean this to be a rant against Nokia feature phones, it's just my experience with setting up the 6300 4G. In its favor I can say that if KaiOS were ditched and the build quality improved my assessment of this phone would be much more positive. I just discovered your review of the N9 and if I'd known about it at the time I would have jumped to buy it immediately based on your review.

Excellent review. I looked at this but waited and bought a much cheaper TT 240 phone from Amazon UK. It also comes with KaiOS. I'm trying to detox from smartphones . WiFi and WhatsApp are a must it's just learning to adjust. For a home phone we use an 8110 4g, it's fine. The challenge is accepting smartphones aren't the problem....it's me and predictive text is challenging to say the least. If I like the OS on a daily basis I'll get something like this but I'm my opinion I think what concessions will I have to make to use a feature phone? Am I prepared to get a proper camera out all the time for family moments. I like the look of this phone a lot, time will tell.

I like the simplicity of nokia phone..

I had one but lost it after three month with it and got a 2720 instead. I didn't like the keyboard and some times the phone lagged really much. I have a much better experience with my 2720 than my 6300.

6300 4g user: the keypad is not good. I regularly accidentally double tap. But aside from that, I really love it. The most basic phone you can get, without losing email in the process.

Remembers me of 6300 and 2300 classic

how about HMD bring back an enhanced version of S60 that is capable of a desktop like internet with Zeiss optics camera and a bigger Ram and processor. both on touch devices and keyboard device's on a limited edition.

Can you check for me if we can use voice-to-text function in messaging? Have to enable wifi or 4G network connection for it to work if the function is available.

I am waiting for E series phones which can be fitting for people who just want to use their phone for music, calls, text, but a bit smarter which offers various apps such as food delivery apps, grab etc. I think I want a phone that is smart but not addictive and YES!, in a numeric style or qwerty keypad. I am a ux designer and I will be starting to design apps for this platform!

Not exactly a Nokia 6300 4G question but, what power bank am I supposed to buy for Nokia 9 PureView/Nokia 8.3 5G?

Heyy just wondering if you could install Spotify and if its a good buy if there wont be any more software updates :)

Thumbs up!

Interesting phone!😃😃😃

Hi, can you please share any purchase links (Nokia feature phones - KaiOS)

Very nice colour 😊

Out of interest I know this won't allow you to install the uber app. But does it work with booking an uber using the web browser? I know it's possible on some dumbphones but wanted to know if it's possible on this device? Thanks.

the only thing preventing me from going back to basic phones is the lack of support for mobile banking apps. i can live without social media apps, but never mobile banking apps.

Does anyone know what the the options for system language? Back in day, Nokia offered a huge list of languages to select from. I'm wondering, if it's the same, or is a shorter list? I tried to searched for it, but I couldn't find the full list of language options. Thanks!

Can I put my two micro-SIMs into those standard size SIM entry slots? Thanks.

Please include camera tests in upcoming videos

I am using this phone. Loving it.

I need Nokia phone with enormous battery endurance. What do you recomend? What about this 6300 or 800 Tough?

Does this phone has Google contact sync, where I do not want store any contacts in device but want to pull from my Google contacts. Also it would be appreciated if you can show how to configure the hotspot. Thanks in advance

Nokia is always my best

Can we use Spotify on it ? If not, did a Phone (not smartphone) with Spotify usable ? Thanks

Nice video

Which Nokia feature phone is your favourite? Which one do you not like at all? :)

Any idea when the G21 and G11 will be available globally?

I was going to get one of these but your review and some of the comments have put me off now. Definitely don't like the fact they haven't put volume buttons on. Also, that raised power button could easily get pressed by mistake. Why do manufacturers always spoil things?

Nokia lengend

We can use another social media app..plzz let me know..

Im looking for a phone with whatapp and a gps tracking. This is cheap and if my 9yr old.lose it i wont cry blood tears. Thank you for the review bro.

is it possible to get spotify on it ? it would be awesome because I don't use smartphone that much, I just listen to music

We also want that very classic blue led light also

Question- Could I uninstall apps that I don’t use on this device such as Facebook? Or is it stuck on the Home Screen. Thanks

Best phone ever😊

Is it possible to set different ringtones for different contacts on this phone?

Do you have info on Nokia 225 4G ?

Abdullah where is the HMD story part 3? you had promised it to us

I actually like this phones design I think it looks clean and neat. But... I wished they hadn't put Kai OS on it imo of Kai it's slow, laggy and a battery burner! Also I believe they have removed a bunch of stuff on the new version of the OS which is not applicable to this device as I don't think it will get an upgrade. Pitty I would of got one if it wasn't for the Kai OS. I would like HMD to bring a premium feature phone to the market with a good camera, battery and functions of a smartphone minus the touchscreen I would definitely jump back on the older keypad style as I prefer it.

Hi, great video, and great content on the channel. A quick question: from an out-of-box experience, which was your favorite - The Nokia 6300 4g or the Nokia 8000 4g? Cheers and Thanks

Does this phone need a case? I was thinking about accidental hidden the keys and stuff. Thanks.

When it is coming to India?

Thats cool, next Nokia 2760 please 🙏🏻🙏🏻

Can you tell me which nokia phone is better which support wifi?

Great

Is there any Nokias that are/have: Flashlight 4g with hotspot Candy bar form WhatsApp Google maps Possibly Spotify? Want to move away from the smart phone but retain these key features. Thanks

Masanın üstünde istediğim bütün telefonlar var.8110 hariç diğerlerinin hiçbiri Türkiyeye gelmedi.Ama çok istiyordum gelmesini.

A better operating system, screen a little bigger, a 2MP or 5MP camera and it would be the perfect phone. It's already looking good, but HMD needs to do a little more to make it more interesting.

I wanted a feature phone that I could use to briefly access the internet during occasional power outages so I bought the Nokia 225 4g because it had a browser. I like the phone but the browser is completely useless with most (if not all) modern websites. Would this browser work any better using a non wifi signal?

Can this phone work solo on wifi? I want a phone without the cellular service. Also can I use it just to play music on an SD card or something? Thank you

where did you buy all these nokia brands?

What is the white phone on the right middle on the screen?

Is it available, and how much is it in the market?!!!
