Nokia (HEL:NOK1V; NYSE:NOK) introduced its new series of the Nokia Asha line today. They are the Nokia Asha 311 3.5G-HSDPA, the Nokia Asha 305 Dual SIM Easy Swap, and the Nokia Asha 306 Single SIM Edge + Wifi. Unlike its predecessors, these do not have physical keyboards, but they still use the same Series 40 OS.
Nokia claims that the Asha series should no longer be categorized as feature phones because its capability stands closer to smartphones, something like a smartphone lite or smartlite. Martin Chirotarrab, the president director of Nokia Indonesia, said that because the phone uses the Nokia 2.0 browser, users can now access the internet three times faster, and the battery life is now much more efficient too.
Chirotarrab also claims that the new phones can also reduce internet data usage by 85 percent through its automatic compression system, meeting the demand of average Asian customers.
There’s also great news for entertainment lovers out there as users can download any Electronic Arts game for free for 60 days after purchase and also download music for six months.
Nokia Asha 305 is priced at IDR 849,000 ($85), while the Nokia Asha 306 and 311 still havent’t been officially announced and will be available in stores this month.
