Nokia 6300 4G, all carriers, 2.4 Inch UK SIM Free Feature Phone with WhatsApp and Google Assistant (Single SIM) - Charcoal

Product Information

It provides the most essential apps – WhatsApp, Google Maps for navigation, YouTube and Facebook and online browser. The new feature is available to millions of smart feature phone users with the latest version of the app on KaiOS devices worldwide equipped with 512MB RAM. It has the more advanced “response” button on the back to alert and show the phone’s location to assigned contacts.

KaiOS later gained investment from Google as well as the use of Google Assistant-powered voice-typing. But, the features that WhatsApp for KaiOS was bringing weren’t even close to the smartphone app, so the next WhatsApp update for this OS will make many users happy. As a result, a basic phone is much less intimidating and easier to use, even if you’ve never used one before.When not writing and testing the latest gadgets, you’ll find Jason playing the guitar or learning how to parent his new baby. To be clear, up until now only the users of the JioPhone and the JioPhone 2 could use WhatsApp on their feature phones. The 6300 4G is available in Cyan Green, Light Charcoal and Powder White, while the 8000 4G in Onyx, Opal, Citrine and Topaz colour models. The small front display is helpful for checking the date and time at a glance and the main display is colourful and bright, with text that isn’t pixelated.

For a future-proof option, we think it’ll be best to go with 4G, which is why every model on our list is capable of 4G connectivity. If you must check your inbox, it picks up 4G networks and can function as a wifi hotspot for connecting a linked device. The phones run KiaOS platform and offer access to other social media and productivity apps like Facebook, YouTube and Google Maps.With all these features, users can reach beyond their current limitations and uncover a world of possibilities.

The WhatsApp speed-dial key allows the user to open their chosen messaging app directly from any screen. As for storage, the phone has 512 MB RAM and 4GB ROM, which is expandable up to 32 GB via a microSD card.

We appreciate the satisfying and nostalgic feel of the buttons, but they are small and there are other options on this list that are better for anyone with dexterity issues. For older people, these phones can be essential pieces of familiar tech with large buttons, uncomplicated interfaces, and bright screens. The numeric keyboard will prevent you from writing long posts on social media (good for productivity).
