Nokia Asha 303 - Review

Nokia Asha 303. Beautifully rendered in metallic finishes, the 2.6-inch touch screen, with QWERTY keypad, is driven by a massive 1GHz processor, making it as powerful as most smart phones.

This powerful engine contributes to delivering a very fast internet connection via 3G and WiFi. And when you factor in the upgraded Nokia Browser, which compresses the web for mobile by up to 90 per cent, you’ll find the internet experience on this phone hard to beat.

One click from your bright home screen, which is readable in direct sunlight, takes you to your favorite social networking site, as well as email and instant messenger, proving Nokia has listened to what their customers really want and need.

There’s also one-touch access to your music player, with 47 hours of play time on a single charge and a 3.2-megapixel camera.

The phone works in landscape for games and portrait for chat. It’s highly desirable to a huge market of younger, price-conscious users for around Rs.7900, depending on region.

That’s everything most people want on a smartphone for around a quarter of the price. Weighing just 97g and measuring 116.5mm x 55.7mm 13.9mm, the Asha 303 has a talk time of around eight hours and a standby time up to 30 days.

As well as Angry Birds Lite, The Nokia Asha 303 comes preinstalled with Facebook Chat, Whatsapp and even Nokia Maps for Series 40 (in selected markets). It will be available in the holiday season, before the new year.
