Nokia G300 — Full Specifications, Features & Price in Pakistan

Introduction

The Nokia G300, announced in October 2021, was HMD's cheapest 5G phone at launch — a $199 device sold exclusively in the US through TracFone and Straight Talk. It pairs the Snapdragon 480 5G with a 6.52-inch HD+ display, a 16MP triple camera, and a 4,470mAh battery with 18W charging, running Android 11. In Pakistan it appears only as a used import, with the same carrier-variant complications as the G100 — possible SIM locks, US-tuned bands — plus one twist: its 5G bands are tuned for American networks, so Pakistani buyers should value it strictly as a 4G phone.

Design and Build Quality

The G300 is a big phone — 169.4 x 78.4 x 9.3 mm and 210 g — with the chunky bezels and waterdrop notch typical of 2021 budget devices. Sold in a single Meteor Grey through US prepaid carriers, units in Pakistan often carry TracFone or Straight Talk branding. Build is solid polycarbonate with a side-mounted fingerprint scanner, 3.5mm jack, USB-C, and Google Assistant button. Check for carrier branding and confirm SIM-unlock status before considering a purchase.

Display Features

The 6.52-inch IPS LCD at 720 x 1600 (HD+, 60Hz) is a standard budget panel — adequate for video and everyday use, unremarkable next to 90Hz screens. Brightness and colour are average for the class. On a used unit, inspect for touch dead zones, backlight issues, and signs of a replacement panel.

Processor and Performance

The Snapdragon 480 5G (8 nm) was the budget 5G chip of 2021: two Kryo 460 performance cores at 2.0 GHz plus six efficiency cores, Adreno 619 GPU. Roughly comparable to the Snapdragon 662 for everyday tasks — calls, social apps, HD video, and light gaming run smoothly. Still entry-level by 2026 standards. The '5G' in its name deserves the reality check below: in Pakistan, treat the G300 as a solid 4G budget phone.

RAM and Storage

A single configuration was sold: 4GB RAM with 64GB storage, expandable via microSD up to 1TB. That simplicity makes used buying straightforward — no weak base variant to accidentally overpay for. 4GB keeps Android running smoothly for basic use, and 64GB plus a card is enough for most users' apps and media. Storage is eMMC-class rather than UFS.

Camera Features

The triple camera combines a 16MP f/1.8 main sensor with PDAF, a 5MP ultra-wide, and a 2MP depth sensor, with electronic image stabilisation, Night mode, and OZO spatial audio for video. Daylight shots are decent with natural colours, the ultra-wide adds versatility the G10/G11 lack, and EIS steadies video. Low light is modest, no OIS. The 8MP front camera covers selfies.

Battery and Charging

The 4,470mAh battery is the smallest in this Nokia slice, but the efficient Snapdragon 480 still delivered HMD's claimed two-day battery life when new. Charging is 18W wired (QC 3.0) over USB-C — faster than the G10/G20's 10W. On a used unit, the usual checks apply: steady charging, no overheating, reasonable overnight drain. The battery is sealed, so replacement means a repair-shop visit.

Software and Updates

The G300 launched with clean, near-stock Android 11. HMD's update history for this US-only model is not fully documented in the sources checked, and support has ended regardless — verify the installed Android version and patch level in Settings on the unit you buy, and treat it as final. Standard out-of-support precautions apply: Play Store apps only, caution with sensitive apps.

Connectivity and Additional Features

The honest 5G reality check: the G300 supports sub-6GHz 5G on US-tuned bands — but Pakistan has no commercial 5G network, and the phone's 5G band set does not align with Pakistan's planned spectrum, so 5G is effectively irrelevant here. What matters is 4G: the LTE tuning is US-centric (like the G100), so insert your own SIM and confirm 4G data works on your carrier in your area before paying. Also: dual-band Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 5.0, GPS, NFC, USB-C, 3.5mm jack.

Variants, Colours and Availability

A single 4GB/64GB variant in Meteor Grey, sold exclusively through US prepaid carriers (TracFone, Straight Talk). Some listings report dual-SIM support, but carrier SKUs are typically single nano-SIM and may be carrier-locked — verify both on the unit itself. No official Pakistan sale means per-IMEI PTA verification is mandatory, with no local warranty beyond the seller's terms.

Price in Pakistan and PTA Information

Pakistan price sources disagree sharply: WhatMobile expects Rs. 33,999 ('Coming Soon'), mobile-phone.pk lists Rs. 32,600 new, and OLX used listings range from about Rs. 9,000 (non-PTA) to Rs. 21,500 — none a verified live price. Zohaan Mobile Gallery's catalog reference is Rs. 22,000 (October 2026 import — reference only). Never pay a '5G phone' premium for a G300 in Pakistan — price it as what it is: a used 4G budget phone with a Snapdragon 480.

PTA approval is per-device and per-IMEI, never per model. Nokia never officially sold the Nokia G300 in Pakistan, so every unit is an import — check the exact IMEI with the IMEI guide and PTA check guide Also confirm the unit is not blacklisted on its original US carrier.. Zohaan Mobile Gallery gives a 7-day check warranty on used phones (speaker/ringer claims covered; no claim for LCD/touch, dead/display, or camera/screen; same handset only; void on water or physical damage).

Who Should Consider This Phone?

The G300 suits a buyer who finds an unlocked unit, verified working on their carrier, at a 4G-budget price — a Snapdragon-powered alternative to the G100 with a slightly better camera. Not for anyone shopping for 'a 5G phone' in Pakistan, or for buyers who will not test the SIM and bands themselves.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the price of the Nokia G300 in Pakistan?

Sources conflict: WhatMobile expects Rs. 33,999, mobile-phone.pk lists Rs. 32,600 new, OLX used listings range ~Rs. 9,000–21,500. None is verified. Confirm the exact unit's price with the store — and price it as a 4G phone.

Is the Nokia G300 a 5G phone?

Technically yes — Snapdragon 480 5G with sub-6GHz 5G — but its 5G bands are US-tuned and Pakistan has no commercial 5G. For a Pakistani buyer it is effectively a 4G phone.

Is the Nokia G300 carrier-locked?

It can be — it was sold through TracFone and Straight Talk in the US. Always verify the exact unit accepts a Pakistani SIM before paying.

Will the G300's 4G work on Pakistani networks?

Often yes, but its LTE tuning is US-centric — confirm with your own SIM on your carrier in your area before buying.

What processor does the Nokia G300 use?

The Snapdragon 480 5G (8 nm) with Adreno 619 GPU — entry-level, smooth for everyday apps and light gaming.

What is the battery capacity and charging speed?

4,470mAh with 18W wired charging (QC 3.0) — the smallest battery in this slice but the fastest charging of the 2021 models.

Is the Nokia G300 PTA approved?

PTA approval is per IMEI — check the exact device's IMEI yourself, and confirm it is not blacklisted on its original US carrier.

Will it get more Android updates?

No. It launched on Android 11 and HMD's support has ended. Check the installed version in Settings on the unit you buy.

Final Verdict

The G300 is a good budget phone in a complicated buying proposition: Snapdragon 480 performance, versatile camera, and 18W charging, wrapped in a US carrier variant whose 5G is useless in Pakistan. Priced as a used 4G phone, unlocked, with 4G verified on your carrier and a clean PTA-checked IMEI, it is a fair buy.
