Welcome friends, welcome to all Nokia fans who are searching the latest and best Nokia phones in the world. We all may know that Nokia has unveiled three new mobile phones under its Asha series. Named Nokia Asha 305, Asha 306 and Asha 311, all of these devices come with full capacitive touch screen display along with a brand new S40 Asha operating system.
It should be stated that the new Asha 305, Asha 306 and Asha 311 comes with full touch screen display.
Here I will give details of these Nokia Asha series. At first I will start with Asha 311,then follow the last instruction of every post that given in each post step by step.
Price (USD) Expected Price: $158.64 approx
The Nokia Asha 311 is a compact touch screen device that comes with a bright and colourful 3 inch scratch resistant capacitive display with polarization filters for a better visual experience. With WiFi and 3.5G connectivity, users can experience blazing fast internet and downloads on this device.
The Asha 311 comes with pre-loaded social client for accessing Face book, Twitter and many other social networks. It also has the most popular messaging service "WhatsApp”. The Nokia Asha 311 also features a 3.2 megapixel camera and pre-installed Nokia Maps, in addition to the 15 level pre-bundled versions of Angry Birds. Along with that the device is powered with a powerful 1 GHz processor for smooth performance all round.
Nokia Asha 311 has a 1 GHz processor, 3 inch capacitive touch display protected by Gorilla glass, and offers WiFi and 3G connectivity. On top of that it comes with Nokia Maps that works without internet and has 45 lakh songs that can be downloaded and shared free of cost for three months and later bought at very cheap rates. There are also some 40 free games from EA (Electronic Arts) that can be downloaded free. The phone is priced at Rs 7,000 which is bang in the middle of the entry level Android price bracket.
Design
The Nokia brings Asha 311 with a nice metal finish and is slim as well as lightweight at just 98 grams. There are only two physical buttons placed on a chrome strip that runs along the phone below the screen. There is a volume rocker and a lock button on the right side of the phone. Nokia Asha 311 comes in attractive colours like grey, silver, blue and pink.
With a 3-inch screen, the phone is smaller than most Android devices and is very pocketable. Further, the colour combinations available will appeal to most.
Performance
The 1 GHz processor on Nokia Asha 311 makes it the fastest feature phone and is fast even by smartphone standards. Given that Series 40 operating system is meant for feature phones and is lite that way, a 1 GHz processor running it would presumably be faster than a 1 GHz processor running a smartphone operating system. However, how fast it really is will be known only when we test the phone.
Asha 311 is the full touch screen feature phone from Nokia. It runs on S40Asha Operating System.
Camera
The phone has a 3.2 megapixel camera, which we haven't tested. However, it looks like the best in its range.
Screen
Nokia Asha 311 gets a 3 inch touch display with 240 x 400 pixel resolution which is not great, but is a good match for the Android based Samsung Galaxy Y smartphone, which comes with 380 x 240 pixel resolution only.
Asha 311's screen looks nice in terms of vivid colours and brightness. Touch is responsive thanks to the capacitive technology. The screen is protected by Gorilla glass, which is unique in this class.
We would have appreciated a bigger screen as homegrown brands are these days offering handsets with bigger screens in this price range. However, MNC rivals are offering the same screen size in this bracket.
Other features
Asha 311 has Bluetooth 2.1, WiFi, 3G and USB connectivity. It has a proximity sensor, accelerometer, and ambient light sensors. The phone comes with 128 MB of usable internal space but supports a 32 GB micro SD card. Nokia is offering a 2 GB data card free with this device.
The only major feature the phone lacks is GPS (or A-GPS) which is there in all the Android based smartphones in this price bracket. However, it comes with Nokia Map application which is renowned for its navigational feature. But still, in the absence of GPS, Nokia Maps loses accuracy when calculating the user's location.
Other features like flash and front camera are not there either, but these two features are rarely found in phones in this category.
