Can a NOKIA 6300 4G in 2023 replace my phone? (Runs YT/FB/Whatsapp)

Nokia's modern feature phones can support KZbin,Whatsapp,Facebook and more! But the physical keyboard and its 2.4 inch display makes it feel vintage, watch me as i attempt to replace my main phone , the Galaxy Note 20 Ultra to the Nokia 6300 4G for a day

The fact it runs Whatsapp is perfect. Its a good way to disconnect from social media (detox) while keeping Whatsapp, which is what my family uses to communicate the most.

[@FromMattAndDarr]

true, especially when social media is getting more toxic (my opinion only)

[@pilgrimslighthouse1456]

This WhatsApp only has messaging though right? I just ordered one to stop wasting so much time on my phone but I depend on WhatsApp so I will still have to use my iphone as a back up when I do video calls

[@FromMattAndDarr]

I think it does handle voice calls but not video calls

[@cristaosunidos.academy]

Wonderful! I really agree with that mindset!

[@lukahmad5683]

@@FromMattAndDarr Yeah I agree. In around 2018, it was good, around the pandemic it was useful and after it just too much for me. I feel annoyed because it seems like everybody just hate everything, and good peoples tend to not to communicate due to the toxic environment. At the age of 28 I feel bad because I thought this is the best lifestyle. So right now I'm switching to more simple lifestyle. Thanks for this video and finding the time to replies to us :)

[@wernerfritz4064]

It's true, I'm sure he is storing this phone in a cabinet and not using it

Ikr he spends like 5 mins of the video on KZbin and camera app. As if you need to buy this phone in order to find out that that shit will be terrible..

[@mre2164]

I like videos like these. Hopefully they get more support and make more feature phones. I wouldn’t mind a good detox phone but I need good WhatsApp features at least to stay in touch. The rest I could use my laptop for. Nfc payments would be amazing though

[@FromMattAndDarr]

yea, i think Nokia should get more credit for these smart feature phones, but I don't think NFC and online payments will be coming to these devices anytime soon, but at least it supports payments by M Pesa or Ecocash for those living in Kenya or Zimbabwe respectively

[@FromMattAndDarr]

I see, I mean this Nokia is a good contender for those who would like a smartphone detox, which I highly recommend

[@rowenasantiago1221]

Excellent 👍 Review

[@wiltfield]

I feel like you're judging a fish on it's ability to climb trees here, you wouldn't buy this phone for the camera, or youtube or whatever, the fact that you're hardwired to give value to certain things is the point that this phone tries to tackle I use my smartphone as a computer only, but I use a feature phone for calls, texts, and light connectivity when i'm away from my phone, it has less distractions, and the battery life is great on these phones, especially since we're used to charging our phones at least once a day My current feature phone is a Nokia Asha 210, before that it was the Nokia 2700 classic, I also had a C2-02, a C2-05, and an Asha 302, but now i'm hoping to upgrade to the 6300 It's currently my dream phone honestly, I still have a smartphone, but if a second phone makes me rely on it less then that's a pretty good investment, especially since these phones are fairly cheap I used a few different smartphones over the years now, and one thing I learned is that I can't rely on them the way I'd rely on a feature phone, they're more prone to break, can be expensive to repair, are more prone to die on you, etc I just don't trust a smartphone in case I have an emergency For main internet activity I still highly suggest using a pc or a laptop, I like being able to watch youtube or check my emails after I get home from a working day, and I don't appreciate the idea of having to be connected and consuming content every minute of everyday Also, I'd just like to add that even many smartphones today struggle with night time photography, and that's the test you decide to put this poor little thing through? That's kinda not fair

[@jganesh5162]

I have a Nokia 2720 and it's similar to the 6300 4G. They both have KaiOs and all the apps that you would generally need. I switched to this phone as my backup and eventually I started using it more often as I brought my iPad or Pixel book around. The hotspot feature makes it an ideal partner device. Since in most situations, I don't really need my phone other than for WhatsApp, Facebook and making calls, it works very well. I am getting the 6300 4G as a replacement for my 2720. Although my 2720 still works, I wanted to have the option of a different form factor.

[@mre2164]

Hey I have the same phone as you but my WhatsApp stopped working and it says it is no longer supported. Did that happen to you as well?

[@FromMattAndDarr]

on the Nokia 6300?

[@mre2164]

@@FromMattAndDarr no sorry I meant the same phone as this user. I have the nomi 2720. I love flip phones. But sadly they took WhatsApp away

[@FromMattAndDarr]

I see, it's questionable that they removed whatsapp since it was once one of the main selling points of the device

[@mre2164]

@@FromMattAndDarr yeah I know. But it seems the other first gen devices didn’t get the new OS update either. I guess they want to force the users to buy the newer devices. My models never had audio calls on WhatsApp either, just text and audio recording

[@SSchithFoo]

I bought the og version back in 2007 for about 2x the price. Even back then it was one of the worse phones Nokia has ever made but also one of the best looking. There was no Symbian OS, Metal cover was prone to scratches, the black coating on the middle button peels of very easily specially with finger nails, speakers was horrible, even a basic gif animation is slow while people with Nokia Symbian phones were playing real mobile games, camera had a fixed focus (but I took about 9000 pictures with it lol), time and time again I had to open the whole cover to clean the dust as the mouthpiece gets covered with dust etc. I replaced the cover twice from replacements from ebay. It wasn't all bad of course and it was my first phone. I wonder where it is now.

[@amimizuno6097]

is the music quality good or the old nokia 6300 is much better in terms of music quality?

[@adl-2]

The entire reason why most people want to use a feature phone instead of a smartphone is to get away from Facebook and KZbin, yet Nokia still puts them on the 6300. If I'm going to use those apps, I might as well just use a smartphone, WHICH I DON'T WANT TO DO!!

[@seriyooow310]

I wouldn't say that, because now I am looking for keypad phones that could complement my samsung flagship phone. I don't know if it's the same for you from where you are, but for me, this could be useful for people who owns 2 sim cards for different networks. This phone could be equipping the sim that has your OTPs, or an old sim that has all the previous contacts. Oftentimes, changing simcard is a hassle, so we resort to owning 2 numbers. At least, that's how it is from where I'm at. So now I'm looking for a low maintenance phone, that is still usable for calls and texts, while also can be used as a pocket wifi if this has mobile hotspot capabilities.
