Nokia Asha 303 review: Type smarter

 

Nokia had two big announcements to make a few months ago. And yes, it's a matter of perspective but, on certain markets, the S40-powered Asha series can be as big as Windows Phone. Anyway, now that the Lumia smartphones have had their deserved...

Quad-band GSM/GPRS/EDGE support ; Penta-band 3G with 10Mbps HSDPA and 2Mbps HSUPA ; Asha S40 Touch and Type platform ; Four-row hardware QWERTY keyborad ; 2.6" QVGA 256K-color capacitive TFT touchscreen ; 1GHz processor ; 128MB RAM, 256MB ROM ; 3...

No multitasking ; Fixed-focus camera ; No smart dialing ; No video-call camera ; No document viewer ; Non-hot-swappable memory card

The S40 platform got recently treated to lots of visual updates and the latest feature phones have joined the 1GHz league. The new Asha 303 seem to be sparing no effort to bring the complete user experience to traditionally loyal Nokia markets

Nokia Asha 303 Review

 

The Nokia Asha 303 is the flagship of Nokia's new affordable range, that is aimed towards youth and emerging markets. While not really impressive in terms of specs, Nokia's Series 40 phones have been around for a while with millions of loyal followers...

Very lightweight and comfortable to hold phone ; Strong and clear loudspeaker ; Good call quality ; Global pentaband radio

Cramped keyboard ; No GPS radio ; Fixed-focus camera

Correct this as this can be somewhat confusing for some users..

Nokia Asha 303 hands-on

 

The Nokia Asha 303 might not look too exciting, but it's got a few treats in store, including a capacitive touchscreen and a 3.2-megapixel camera. It's up against cheap Android phones like the Orange Monte Carlo though, which are better for apps.

Capacitive touchscreen and Qwerty keypad ; Feels fast

Not the most attractive design we've ever seen ; Up against affordable Android phones

This affordable handset has a 1GHz processor and runs Angry Birds as well as WhatsApp; but it's not a smartphone.

Very easy to use

 

I have just started to use this phone and it is really very intuitive... have not needed to use the manual very much. This was one of my main reasons for purchasing Nokia! The width of the phone takes some getting used to, but I guess that is normal...
