Nokia Shows Off Three New Entry-Level Smartphones
Published on:
Nokia has announced a new range of basic smartphones - the Asha Touch range, which expands on the Asha range launched last October.
The Nokia Asha 305, Asha 306 and Asha 311 offer a new, fully re-designed touch user interface specific for the markets they will be sold in. All three models include Nokia's mobile web browser that uses server sided compression to reduce bandwidth consumption.
The Nokia Asha 311 is a 1Ghz smartphone with HSPA connectivity. The Asha 305 is a dual-SIM model while the Asha 306 is a single-SIM model which Nokia says is its "most affordable Wi-Fi handset to date."
"These phones deliver on what young, urban people value most -- a great-looking device; and an intuitive and affordable experience for connecting to the internet, to their friends, and to a world of entertainment, web apps and content." said Mary T. McDowell, Nokia's executive vice president for Mobile Phones.
The Asha family is also getting positive support from developers and consumers. Nokia Store has just broken the 5 billion downloads landmark. From January to April, 42% of all content downloaded from Nokia Store was delivered to Asha and other Nokia devices based on the Java ecosystem.
The estimated retail price for Nokia Asha 305 is EUR 63 and it's expected to start shipping in the second quarter of 2012. The estimated retail price for Nokia Asha 306 is EUR 68. The Nokia Asha 311 has an estimated retail price of EUR 92. Both devices are expected to start shipping in the third quarter of 2012.
