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.
