The Nokia 6300 is a mobile telephone handset produced by Nokia. It was announced on 28 November 2006[2] and released in January 2007. This model was assembled in several factories, including Jucu plant, near Cluj, in Romania.[clarification needed] The Nokia 6300 is a mid-range phone combining a classic candybar design with a durable stainless steel and slim (11.7 mm thick) body.[3] It runs on Series 40.

The 6300 was considered the successor of many models, including 6230i and 6310i.[4][5] The 6300 electronics are based on the Nokia 3110 classic and related to various other Nokia phones including the Nokia 5310, and Nokia 3500 classic.

A derivative of the 6300, the 6300b, supported the 850 MHz GSM band instead of 900 MHz, and was marketed in the United States.

The 6300 was a hit and became one of the top-selling Nokia models on the market during its time,[6] and one of the most notable phones created by Nokia.[7]

Further derivatives, the 6300i and 6301 released in 2008, added WiFi and UMA capabilities, increased storage and memory, and a later revision of Series 40. The model number was reused in 2020 for a KaiOS-powered mobile phone announced by HMD Global, the Nokia 6300 4G.

Popularity and reception

Nokia 6300 was a highly popular mobile phone handset throughout the world,[8] officially the best-selling Nokia handset in 2007.[9] A report from The Economist said that Nokia 6300 was the most popular handset in Africa as of the beginning of 2011, four years after the original release.[10]

Reviewers of the handset generally praised the build quality and feature set.[11] Reviewer S21 called it “our favourite Nokia phone for a long time”, praising the user-friendliness and metallic design.[12]

The 6300 was succeeded by the Nokia 6303 classic and Nokia 6700 classic.[13][14]
