Nokia Asha 501 Review
While most people have their eyes set on the Lumia phones, Asha series is slowly creeping in the budget smartphone category and making an impact. Nokia Asha 501 is now finally available in the market and it does maintain Nokia’s reputation in making strong and flashy phones.
Nokia Asha 501 Design and Quality
While the trend remains to buy phones that are large, Nokia has given Nokia Asha 501 quite a compact look. The phone is only 99mm tall and 12.1mm thick. It has a good grip in the hands and looks really cute. The 91 grams phone does look a bit fat as compared to the Lumia phones but it does fit in the hands perfectly and is ideal for those who love to operate on a phone using just one hand.
Nokia Asha 501 comes with a 3 inch screen and the back panel of the phone can be swapped to a different one with a different color to give the phone a new look. For a cheap budget phone, Asha 501 has done pretty well in terms of design.
Asha 501 Display and Screen
Nokia Asha 501 comes with a 3 inch screen and supports 133ppi with a resolution of 240x320 pixels. Brightness can be controlled in the phone settings and you can also tap on the phone screen twice to wake it up instead of using the power button. This feature is quite new in the budget phone category and can only be seen in some of the expensive Lumia and LG phones. Nokia Asha 501 is also great for viewing in outdoor conditions.
Software and User Interface
To power up Asha 501 Nokia has come up with different software called Asha 1.0. It does have similar user interface that can be found in the previous touch devices in the Asha series. The phone’s functionality is mainly based on gestures and a back button is provided to get out of an app if required. Fastlane is an interesting feature in Asha 501 which keeps a track of all the things you have done on the phone based on dates and apps used. This does help in multitasking and is similar to the feature found in Android phones that have Ice Cream Sandwich software or later.
Nokia Asha 501 cannot be customized like some of the budget Android phones but it does come with an amazing browser and some of the necessary apps such as Facebook and Twitter.
Camera
Nokia Asha 501 come with a 3.2 megapixel camera but it does not support flash. For a budget phone the camera can only be claimed to be decent since it lacks details.
Performance and Processor
For a budget phone, Nokia Asha 501 does really well in terms of performance. Since it is a gesture based phone, it runs quite smoothly and does not disappoint at all. The phone comes with 128 MB or storage built in the phone but it can be extended to 32 GB with memory card. The RAM of 64MB is sufficient to support the phone.
Verdict
Nokia Asha 501 can prove really good for those people who are short on cash and require a cheap phone. Although the phone does lack 3G, it does come with some of the basic necessities required for everyday use along with a powerful battery that can last more than 15 hours on one charge.
