Nokia 6300

5033_nokia_6300_5

Released more than two years ago, today Nokia 6300, although not on to the top of charts sales, still continues to stay in demand. All this proves one thing: the company, which presented us a lot of quality smart phones, is ready to fight for new customers. The average user of Nokia 6300 is a person who appreciates an optimal combination of price and quality. Nokia 6300 clearly does not belong to the category of smartphones, but offers quite adequate even by today standards and a range of functions. We’ve learned that the main products of the Finnish Nokia are great smart phones, but Nokia 6300 has become a curtsey in the direction of compactness. As the successor of the ideas of the model 6100, Nokia 6300 is designed taking into account the weaknesses of its predecessor.

5033_nokia_6300_6

So, Nokia 6300 is not made of mere plastic: the battery cover and the frame body are made of stainless steel. The construction is very strong – even if you keep on turning Nokia 6300, you will not hear the creaking of the details and will not feel the backlash in any of its parts. Of course, plastic and metal of Nokia 6300 will wear out: they can be scratched and lose their color. But thanks to the strict form of the device, you can easily buy for Nokia 6300 protective cover. The simple style of Nokia 6300 is due to the desire of producers to do without decorations. But the filling is compensated by an external asceticism: the screen of Nokia 6300 is similar to the model used in 6131. It is covered with protective plastic and features some great color.

5033_nokia_6300_7

Experts say that the matrix of Nokia 6300 is one of the best, among used by the company. Color rendering is of a high quality, the image is easily recognizable and clear even in sunny weather. On board the Nokia 6300 has just 9 MB of memory, but you will find the microSD card with 128 MB capacity. The manufacturer has made it possible for the user to increase the capabilities of Nokia 6300 as a mass storage and multimedia devices.

5033_nokia_6300_8

MicroSD slot is located under the lid of one side of the battery. Perhaps the battery is the only weak spot of Nokia 6300. With a capacity of 760 mAh lithium-ion battery it should provide up to 3.5 hours of continuous talk and up to 330 hours of standby time. Alas, in Moscow networks, these figures are reduced. But the phone, in particular due to the reduced battery capacity, weighs only 91 grams – you can wear it in the breast pocket of your shirt. The price of Nokia 6300 actually corresponds to its quality: for reasonable money, you get a functional and stylish phone.
