So these are basically the old 2G phones but with a USB-C port and a new chipset.
They still only support 2G, so are useless anywhere that requires 4G VoLTE and where 2G/3G has been shut down.
What’s the point then?! Update the cell bands so people at least have an option to use them.
Developing countries. When I lived in one a few years ago I got a Nokia brick phone the same as I had around 2002, it went 5-6 days on a charge in a place with ‘random’ electricity.
Don’t some of this have VoLTE?
The phones in the article are 2G-only.
With 2G being faded out or already faded out, this is important.
Not true. I only know about 6310. It does support 4G. Edit: my bad I was looking at Nokia 6300. Its weird that 6300 has 4g but 6310 doesn’t.
The article links directly to HMD’s website for the phones, where the specs say they only support GSM 800 and 1900.
Having 2G support doesn’t mean it doesn’t have 4g support. I have a phone which supports 2g 3g and 4g.
The article literally says they don’t work with anything newer than 2G
I have Nokia 3310 from the HMD.
Hardware looks fine, but software is slow and buggy.More like a collection item than a daily driver.
