Nokia 6300. Nokia: specifications, photos, manual, reviews

New, increasingly powerful and high-tech mobile phones are constantly appearing. They eventually gain more and more functions, become elegant, attractive externally, provide us with new opportunities for communication and use of the Internet. Each of these smartphones, despite its compact size, perfectly copes with a huge number of tasks and becomes a true multimedia center. Of course, devices of this kind are in great demand, and users automatically switch to them, encouraging developers to produce new same models.

However, many do not rush to chase the next smartphone. And the reason for this is not always the cost of powerful functional devices. Often, people consciously choose to work with older but time-tested devices that do not fail at the right time (as new models do). Often, such devices are equipped with buttons, which also to some extent affects the user's choice. After all, not everyone is accustomed to the touch panel as the main control element (especially for older people).

In this article, we will just discuss such a device. This is the legendary Nokia 6300 model. Many of us remember how they used this phone a few years ago and, incidentally, were pleased with its capabilities. So let us ponastalgiruem for those times and make a review of this model.

Release and positioning

To begin with, we note that the debut of the device took place in the distant 2007 - then it saw the light. Undoubtedly, at the time of the release it was a high-tech solution on the market - they simply did not produce such devices. And, undoubtedly, the Finnish manufacturer has not lost with its Nokia 6300 - the phone was sold in huge quantities; And the fame of it as a reliable and easy-to-use device has been preserved in users' memory so far.

The phone was initially presented as a stable business-class device: it was indicated by everything from the appearance to the hardware component. The model was really conceived as a solution for successful, young and innovative customers; But it came out as a replacement for another version - 6030. The ruler on the device described did not stop - the Finns continued to produce other modifications. However, 6300 Nokia was able to make the most successful and attractive from the point of view of the buyer. This is proved by a lot of facts: the phone is not just talked about a lot, private companies even started issuing various additions to the model, such as the gilded case, for example.

Still it is possible to mention numerous copies of phone which even today are popular on the Chinese sites of electronics. They are also in demand in domestic online stores among people who need an inexpensive but reliable tube. Attractive style goes as a pleasant bonus.

Design

By the way, speaking about appearance: this is one of the strongest aspects of the device. You can understand this by looking at at least the photos containing Nokia 6300. On them we see a stylish apparatus, assembled from metal and plastic, which comfortably lies in the hand, is pleasant to the touch, it looks wonderful and combines with the style of a fragile girl and the officialdom of a mature man. Due to this, the device can be considered a universal product for those who are looking for a caller.

Visually, the device consists of two parts - the top (where the screen is) and the bottom (with the keys). Each of these zones is surrounded by borders with rounded edges; Due to this, a favorable appearance of the phone, its attractive design is created. Addition to the glass buttons navigation and call control, located near the joystick. This is the most convex part that the Nokia 6300 phone has.

The back panel is designed in a single concept with the rest of the device. It is also a metal cover, interleaved with a dark plastic face, on which the camera and the developer logo are placed. On the sides, you can also watch the navigation buttons (a rocker for increasing and lowering the sound). Also here you can see the line between the two plates, of which the model's body consists. Due to her 6300 Nokia seems even more interesting, even from the side.

Screen

Of course, at the time of the device's release, there were no mass touch displays based on IPS technology in the world, capable of high-quality transfer of colorful images. Then on the model 6300 Nokia installed a TFT-screen. Of course, it is suitable for a keyboard, because without a sensor there is no need to make a large screen. However, of course, in practice it will not be difficult to discern the grit effect when viewed near.

As the Nokia 6300 describes, the model has a display resolution of 240 by 320 pixels (which in comparison with modern models looks like a joke, but the gadget can transmit up to 16 million different colors.) This is more than enough for the tasks that the user poses This kind of apparatus.

Battery

According to the description of the Nokia 6300 phone, the device has a battery capacity of 860 mAh. Of course, today this is a very small volume for the average smartphone; However, do not forget about the level of charge consumption of our object review. After all, on the TFT-display, in the absence of various additional modules in the form of a powerful processor or LTE-connection support, the phone spends a fraction of the energy.

And this means that with the modest capabilities of its battery, Nokia 6300 (reviews can confirm this information) is able to work more than 340 hours in standby mode. This means that you will not charge the device more than once every 4-6 days (depending on the intensity of operation). It is worth comparing this parameter with Android-gadgets that need daily charging.

Here is one of the main factors pointing out that we are dealing with a classical call, which will last for a long time.

CPU

We should not also expect that the device has as its basis some sort of modern processor that can perform well and perform a wide range of functions. No, as of 2007, the possibilities of the device were really amazing. But, alas, there is no operating system on it (in our modern understanding of it). All tasks that can be performed by the phone are reduced to a simple set of rules and functions such as a call and messages. For this reason, we called the gadget a call.

A feature of it can be called unless the camera control and the ability to create pictures; The presence of the player, as well as support for memory cards. However, more on this later.

Interface

You ask, and what is the control of the phone, which operates without an operating system? What is the most graphical core of the device? The answer is the Series 40 third generation platform, which was widely used on similar versions of devices.

On the screen the user saw a tiled menu consisting of icons of different applications. Navigation between them is carried out with the help of a horizontal joystick (push-button type). Therefore, the device worked on the same principle that we see today in sensor models. Probably, it was borrowed by developers of modern smartphones as the most optimal and convenient.

Sound

Who found the time when, at the peak of popularity, the Nokia 6300 mobile phone described by us, knows that the playback of audio files was fraught with some problems. In particular, many devices could not play mp3-format, forcing users to be content with wave files. The quality of sound, of course, was lower, but also the places on the phone such tracks also took an order of magnitude less.

Our model 6300 supported the work even with mp3-sound, provided with pure sound. Moreover, the phone provided for the possibility of installing such a track as a ringtone, which was also considered something unique in its kind. Due to this, Nokia was gaining more and more fans who refused to work with similar Samsung, Siemens and Sony Erricson.

Memory

The amount of space available for downloading data on the device described can also surprise those who have not seen the world before the emergence of modern smartphones. As the instruction accompanying the Nokia 6300 indicates, only 9 megabytes of internal memory is available here. Compare modern gadgets with 2, 4, 8, 16 GB and so on, of course, this volume is impossible.

But even then the developers have envisaged the possibility of using memory cards. Like today, they were inserted into a separate slot and, after small manipulations in the settings, could become an alternative source of data reading (or, conversely, their download). The connected memory card solved the problem of lack of space for the same music files.

the Internet

A modern smartphone user will ask: what about the Internet? What connection format did the gadget described in the article use? And what were the features of using such a connection?

It should be clarified that as of 2007, there was no 3G or LTE connection in Russia. Therefore, the need for such devices was simply missing, people did not know that technology could move so far in the near future.

Therefore, a slower WAP-Internet could be considered as a substitute. With it you could go to various mobile catalogs and download, for example, a picture for the desktop, install a ringtone or even upload a small game. WAP traffic was expensive enough for many mobile service providers, so a lot of rocking with the device, so no one could. So, if you want to, you could go in and upload a couple of images, then to tune your device.

Camera

From simple "ringers" Nokia 6300 differs at least by the availability of means for creating photos and video. The resolution of the matrix is 2 megapixels. Of course, to compare, again, with images of modern gadgets, what turned out on the model 6300 is not worth it - then in the mobile device there were not so many new functions and different filters, image stabilization systems, autofocus and others. Then the photos from the phone went out really awful, and it's not always possible to understand what is depicted on them. Nevertheless, people still did not come up with Selfie, so the camera was not so important.

Reviews

Recommendations on how the phone behaves, the Internet is the sea. Thousands of people share with others their impressions of working with him, noting the positive and negative aspects of it. We also studied these reviews to understand who liked what or not. Some of them we publish here.

disadvantages

Let's start with the bad, then finish the review on a positive note. So, let's start with the functional limitations of the device. Now we subconsciously compare it with other smartphones that have (relatively) just fantastic characteristics. Therefore, people write that the phone has few functions, a weak screen, a bad camera and so on. Yes, it's all true, but at the time of the release of the device, all these elements were the best of what is available on the market.

Some complain about the instability of the Nokia 6300. The phone screen does not turn on, or the whole device does not respond to user commands. The problem is expressed in different ways, and the result is one - the user simply can not do anything with his device. We also have one advice for those who are looking for why the Nokia 6300 does not turn on. What if there was some error in the device? Correctly, turn to a specialist and solve it. You can do this in any service center, where they will tell you exactly why your phone has stopped working. Self-activity in the form of disassembling the body and replacing parts on their own do not recommend.

Benefits

Against the background of the above negative aspects (the possibility of failure, weak parameters), there are a lot of "pluses" of this model. This, for example, stylish design (he, judging by the reviews, really like many); Simplicity (many are lost in the huge menu of Android-devices, in the case of the model 6300 everything is extremely simple); Reliability (statistics on the use of key phones like Nokia, which break less often than touch smartphones).

conclusions

Therefore, what to say here, the Nokia 6300 is a well-known all over the world, a very popular mobile phone, which continues to be in demand today. What else does it take to prove that he is worth attention and justifies all the means to buy it? It's a really cool device, which (in a sense) is not subject to time.
