Nokia has unveiled the 300 Charge, a basic "dumb phone" that doubles as a portable powerbank, blending old-school simplicity with a genuinely useful modern feature. The device houses a 3,700mAh battery capable of up to 37 hours of talk time and 40 hours of standby, while its "powerbank mode" lets it deliver 10W reverse-wired charging to other devices via a bundled 4-in-1 cable with Micro USB, USB-C and USB-A adapters.

Beyond the charging trick, the phone includes a built-in LED flashlight said to be four times brighter than the one on the Nokia 105, and a textured grip for durability and handling. It runs on a basic Unisoc SC6531E chipset with 4GB of RAM and storage, a QVGA camera, a 2.4-inch display, and a 3.5mm headphone jack. There is no confirmed US release yet, but if it does launch there, Nokia is expected to price it under $50.
