In late 2020, as people need to stay connected amid the height of the [COVID-19 pandemic], HMD Global quietly introduced the new Nokia 6300 4G with KaiOS 2.5.4. Following the successful relaunch of the Nokia-branded retros 2720 Flip and 800 Tough, the 6300 4G packs a bunch of modern features, such as 4G LTE, Wi-Fi and social apps like WhatsApp and Facebook into a pocket-friendly design, whilst inheriting the classic candy-bar look of the original Nokia 6300. It was [one of the most affordable] the company has ever offered in its KaiOS lineup, at €49/$69.99, though still pricier than the general KaiOS devices. Since then, the phone has gained popularity and also mixed reviews from the community, notably on its performance and keypad typing experience.

### About Kosher phones
Kosher is a category of devices whose software (sometimes hardware) is heavily modified to limit access, or even get rid of content and features deemed distracting or against religious values, while keeping other features and user interface almost identical to the original. Companies specializing in customizing Kosher phones exist, and you can easily come across Kosher phone listings on eBay advertising as productivity and focus improvement tools.

## Differences between US and international variants
"Buying Western-customized products will always give you the best quality possible" is unwise when it comes to consumer electronics, including mobile phones, and the 6300 4G is no exception. When buying the TA-1324 variant of this phone, you should expect:

### UART debugging testpoint
[As discovered by atipls on Discord and @Llixuma], on the mainboard of the 6300 4G, there are 3 UART testing points in the order of TX, RX and GND just above the SIM2 slot. Shorting TX at 1.8V and GND takes you to Fastboot and Linux terminal interface.

Note that by default, KaiOS kernel disables the UART testpoints; kernel logs from UART testpoints will stop once the Linux kernel kicks in. To read the full output from UART, compile the Linux kernel from OSS release [provided by HMD]—also available under [`leo-v20` branch of this repository]—with `LEO_defconfig` flag (not `LEO_defconfig-perf`).
