The only downside of 225 is no Whatsapp but I don't use much so I don't really care

Got this phone online In February 2022. I should have read the reviews on Reddit and GSMArena before purchasing it. It has the following issues:
-4G not working properly
-Randomly switched the reading from 4G VoLTE into “3G/2G GSM” despite using a 4G SIM card from AT&T
-Terrible battery life (but this is associated with almost every feature phone made after 2018, I’m 99.9% sure KaiOS is to blame for that)
-Key input issues, will randomly detect two keystrokes from one press, making any task very tedious
-Bloatware apps that cannot be uninstalled
-Updates have to pretty much be OTA, as KaiOS doesn’t bother with updating a phone after 6 months from its release, they one-and-done the software
-No volume buttons
-Cannot power on by using the end key, even though that is standard for any phone with a 4x3 physical keypad and other buttons
-Cannot use more than 8GB MicroSDXC/HC to expand the already minimal storage
-Notifications are erratic, and basically come in when the phone decides it wants to display something
-Phone frequently freezes
-Cannot get an updated browser, most websites say “This browser is out of date and cannot function for this site”
-Keyguard does not work properly; the phone doesn’t want to turn on when I want it to, but it has no issue in pressing buttons in my bag and draining its own battery life
-Takes random screenshots and sends multiple notifications that the screenshot “was saved to photos”
-Videos don’t appear from SD card despite it being in the correct format and small size
And so many more issues.
I tried messaging Nokia and HMD global, tried getting a refund, tried sending the phone back, I wrote a review (that they took down because it makes them look bad), but nothing is helping.
I think Nokia needs to make their own operating system for their feature phones again and stop relying on KaiOS, which has so many issues and a lack of support.
The original 6300 from 2006 had better specifications than the 2020 remake.
I miss the Nokia 3310 (2017) as it had its own operating system, but I had to ditch it due to the unfortunate shutdown/sunset of the 3G and 4G LTE (non-VoLTE/VoWi-Fi) by AT&T on 02-22-2022.
Honestly I hope Nokia does better in the future.

Original 6300 had 2 MP camera and metal construction .....at least they could have carried over these features

There should be a class action lawsuit brought against Nokia for selling JUNK like this! All they want is your money with little or no customer support! It would be nice is they had someone who was fluent in ENGLISH!

I purchased this Nokia 6300 phone in January 2022. It constanly had to recharged, Keys are to close together have to use a stylus and you better not spend more than a microsecond cause it will read out multiple numbers.two short falls of 6 inches or less caused it to be totally inoperable.. I called Nokia and they could not give me a phone store in state where I could have it checked out by a nokia dealer, I was told by Miguel at nokia i could send it it but there would be a charge .If its a Nokia don't buy it made in Vietnam. I would buy a boxcar of them even if they paid me to take it. Pure Junk and if you buy it your on your own!

I don't know how people use it.
There is no option to save contact from call history. If someone calls, i need to note down on some paper then go to contact and create new by typing manually.

I wish i could sue nokia for producing and selling this crap. Has a tons of issues mostly software related. The alarm clock has a mind of its own and goes off randomly. The OS is slow and has trouble registering multiple consecutive keystrokes. The notification mechanism works whenever it feels like it. Handed it to nokia warranty provider, they gave me a new device, has 99% of the same issues. Signal reception is weak and if you're thinking about using it as a 4G hotspot you're going to cry when you actually try it.

I purchased this phone for phone calls only, I got the dual sim version. I'm disappointed since:

- Battery life is poor
- it's not dual 4G LTE, therefore only one SIM can use VoLTE/Vowifi at a time. I guess both sim could be able to use Vowifi since it doesn't use LTE, but Wi-Fi. And I should be dual LTE.
-I couldn't synch my Google contacts. I had to save a contact file, save it in a micro SD, then I was able to transfer my contacts.
- you can't disable one of the Sim card slots. If you use only one sim, you will get the "no SIM Card" banner. Small screen and unnecessary space occupied.

On the other hand, whatsapp calls works even though it says it wouldn't.

i like the phone but it has a lot of unremovalbe bloatware games, the pre-installed QR code reader does not work ( i think), Kai OS has quite a lot of glitches and bugs and it is a bit slow sometimes. Camera is only somewhat usable

Purchased Nokia 6300 4g and 12-month plan both from MintMobile. So far, cannot set-up phone. Finally, have been told it is not compatible with MintMobile by a MintMobile agent after three phone calls, although I purchased both phone and prepaid plan from MintMobile. I also verified phone compatibility via MintMobile website, just to double check before purchase. Can anyone explain this? Agent was pleasantly contrite and is sending me a return label for phone. The plan is on hold as I think it is a good plan for me. Any suggestions on an inexpensive, dumb phone would be appreciated. I will ONLY use phone for emergencies and convenience. Probably no more than a dozen times a year. Thanks to anyone who takes pity and shares thoughts.

I gave up my IPhone 11 and switched to the Nokia 3600 4G to detach myself from the smartphone world. This phone has GPS so I don’t get lost, and yes it works. This phone has google assistant but is not compatible so that’s a bummer. Predictive text does help the texting process when you’re not used to t9 texting. I haven’t lost any signal or lost any calls with this phone (T-Mobile and AT-T service). Honestly, the call quality matches my iPhone 11, just not the speaker phone. The load time on the internet is a bit slow, but still works.
All in all, if you’re comparing this to a smartphone, you’re looking a poor phone. But, if you’re looking at this phone with basic phone qualifications, I’d say this phone is a pretty good deal for what it’s worth. I haven’t found a flaw with this phone and it’s been reliable while I’ve had it. I bought the white Nokia and my husband bought the Black version. We both enjoy ours very much (we’re both 25 of age).

I purchased this product last week. Unfortunately the battery life is very short. Nokia defrauding its customers
