The Nokia 6300 4G and Nokia 8000 4G launched last month as HMD Global’s latest feature phones. The former is a remake of an old classic while the latter is a new model of a series from the old Nokia days. Now both devices are about to launch in China.

HMD Global is yet to announce a launch date for the two phones but it should not be far off seeing as they have both been spotted on the database of China’s TENAA. The phones are listed on TENAA as the Nokia TA-1311 and Nokia TA-1287 and they both run KaiOS (version 2.5.4.1, the operating system Nokia ships with its feature phones.

The Nokia 6300 4G has a 2.4-inch display that is powered by a 1500mAh removable battery. It has a Snapdragon 210 processor under the polycarbonate body, 512MB RAM, and 4GB of storage that can be expanded via a microSD card slot. The phone also has a VGA camera and a rear flashlight that doubles as the LED for the camera. Other features include FM radio, GPS, Bluetooth, dual SIM support, and an audio jack. The global version has Google Assistant on-board but we don’t expect the Chinese version to have that.

The Nokia 8000 4G, on the other hand, has a 2.8-inch 240 x 320 screen but the same Snapdragon 210 processor, 512MB of RAM, and 4GB of storage. It has a 2MP rear camera and a flash. Its battery capacity is also 1500mAh and it is removable too. The TENAA listing says the phone will be available in China in Black, Blue, Gold, and White, the same colors the global version comes in.

HMD Global took the wraps off the Nokia 8000 4G and Nokia 6300 4G a fortnight ago. Both devices are feature phones but the Nokia 8000 4G comes with a cool design which still doesn’t remove the fact that it is a feature phone. Nokia didn’t disclose details on the availability but a Russian blog has now revealed that the new Nokia feature phones are currently up for pre-order in Russia. 

The Nokia 8000 4G carries a price tag of RUB 7,500 (€83.2) in Russia while the Nokia 6300 4G comes in at RUB 5,000 (€55.5).  The two models run on KaiOS which brings several functionalities that you wouldn’t find in other non-KaiOS-powered phones like WhatsApp, Google’s Maps and Assistant. They also come with 4G connection with a Wi-Fi hotspot option.

The Nokia 8000 4G packs a 2.8-inch LCD screen and is powered by a Snapdragon 210 processor paired with 512MB of RAM and 4GB of expandable storage. The phone packs a 2MP camera at the back with a camera flash that doubles as a flashlight. Under the hood, there is a removable 1500mAh battery which is touted to last up to 28 days on standby and provide more than 3 hours of 4G talk time.

On the other hand, the Nokia 6300 4G sports a 2.4-inch screen and is powered by a Snapdragon 210 processor along with 512MB of RAM. The phone also boasts 4GB of built-in storage. There is also support for storage expansion (up to 32GB) via a MicroSD card slot. It also packs a 1,5000mAH battery which HMD Global says can last up to 27 days in standby.

For photos, there is a VGA camera on the back with a flashlight that doubles as the camera flash. There is GPS, Bluetooth, dual nano-SIM support (select markets), FM radio, and an audio jack (via).

Alongside the Nokia 6300 4G, HMD Global has also announced the Nokia 8000 4G and its design puts it miles ahead of the other feature phones.

The phone has a glass-like shell and a finish that is similar to the NCVM coating we have seen on a lot of smartphones in the past. It also has a curved keyboard that flushes with the display and the frame. Buyers will be able to choose from four colorways – Opal White, Onyx Black, Topaz Blue, and Citrine Gold. Personally, I wish there was a Ruby Red.

With respect to its specs, the Nokia 8000 4G has a 2.8-inch screen, a Snapdragon 210 processor under the hood along with 512MB of RAM and 4GB of expandable storage.

A 2MP camera sits at the back of the phone with a camera flash that doubles as a flashlight. Its removable 1500mAh battery will last up to 28 days on standby and provide more than 3 hours of 4G talk time.

The Nokia 8000 4G is a new feature phone HMD Global is expected to launch soon alongside a remake of the Nokia 6300 which will also have support for 4G. The Finnish company is yet to announce the two phones but a leaked poster has given us an early look at the Nokia 8000 4G, and unfortunately, it doesn’t have the slider design of the older Nokia 8000 series.

The source of the leak is Winfuture.de and the image shows that the Nokia 8000 4G has a candy bar design with an alphanumeric keyboard. However, unlike HMD Global’s recent feature phones such as the Nokia 225 4G, the Nokia 8000 4G looks much more premium.

The poster describes it as a “Premium Glass-like Design” which gives it a glossy look. The phone in the image is black but there is a chance that there will be other color variants at launch. Other features mentioned on the poster are a “hardwearing 3D curved keymat“, WhatsApp and Facebook (pre-installed), and support for 4G and Wi-Fi hotspot.

The source reports that the Nokia 8000 4G will have a 2.8-inch LCD QVGA display with a 320 x 240 resolution. The phone will be powered by a Snapdragon 210 quad-core processor with 512MB RAM and 4GB of storage. There is a MicroSD card that allows users to add up to an additional 128GB of storage.

Users will also get a 2MP camera on the back, support for dual SIM (nano), and a replaceable 1500mAh battery that charges via a micro-USB port. The Nokia 8000 4G will run KaiOS out of the box.

The key specifications of the Nokia 6300 4G and Nokia 8000 4G have been revealed alongside their color variants and other details as well. Both devices are feature phones that will be powered by KaiOS.

Nokia 6300 4G

The Nokia 6300 4G is based on the classic 6300 mobile phone. It will arrive in a single and dual SIM card variant (TA-1294) and will run KaiOS out of the box. The device will be powered by a 1,500mAh battery pack and sports a 2.4 inch display. Under the hood, a single core processor runs the 6300 4G along with 512MB of internal storage and 4MB of RAM, with support for up to 32GB of expandable storage via a microSD card.

According to a NokiaPowerUser report, the new Nokia 6300 4G weighs just 104.7 grams with 53 x 131.4 x 13.7mm dimensions. It will be available in multiple color options, including Charcoal, Cyan, and White. For connectivity, the feature phone will offer LTE, GSM/WCDMA, BT v4.0, GPS, GLONASS, and a Micro-USB port.

Nokia 8000 4G

The Nokia 8000 4G isn’t a modern version of any classic device but is likely a successor to the 8800 of the past since it also sports a 2.8 inch display. It will also arrive with a Dual SIM variant (TA-1303) with KaiOS and an identical battery capacity as well. Similar to the 6300 4G, the memory configurations with 512MB storage and 4MG RAM with 32GB expandable storage remains the same.

The 8000 4G will also offer LTE, GSM/WCDMA, BT v4.0, GPS, GLONASS, and Micro-USB connectivity options as well. It weighs slightly heavier at 110 grams with 56.5 x 132.2 x 12.3 mm dimensions. The upcoming feature phone will launch in multiple color options like Black, Gold, Blue, and White. Both new devices are a part of the company’s efforts to bring refreshed 4G variants of classic devices. But this is all we have to go on, for now, so stay tuned for more updates.

Ever since HMD Global got the license to manufacture and sell phones under the Nokia brand, the Finnish company has made it a tradition to revive classic models by relaunching them with modern features such as 4G and support for certain “smart features”.

The first of the relaunched classics is the Nokia 3310 which comes in 2G, 3G, and 4G versions. It also relaunched the Nokia 8810 “Banana Phone” in 2018, the Nokia 2720 last year, and the Nokia 5310 XpressMusic early this year. New info has now revealed that more classic phones are coming soon.

According to the German tech blog, Winfuture, HMD Global’s next classic phones to revive are the Nokia 6300 and Nokia 8000. That info has been backed up by details found on the site of a Danish carrier called Telia whose list of devices with support for Wi-Fi calling include the yet-to-be-announced Nokia 6300 4G and Nokia 8000 4G.

The Nokia 6300 which was originally launched in 2007, was a Series 40 phone with steel plates that ensured it could take a beating. It also had a color screen, MicroSD card slot, and a 2MP camera.

The Nokia 8000, on the other hand, is expected to be a new model in Nokia’s premium 8*** series from the 90s which includes the Nokia 8800 Sirocco which had a sapphire-coated glass covering the display, a slide-out cover for the keypad, and a 2MP camera. The slider design was a common feature of the series, so there is a high chance that the Nokia 8000 4G will also have it.

We expect these two new phones will be launched before the end of the year and most likely in Europe before other regions. They should arrive alongside its anticipated Nokia 6.3 and Nokia 7.3 smartphones.
