The latest additions to the Nokia Asha family are two models – Asha 305 and Asha 311, which bring the touchscreen experience at a price point that will bring smiles to those who are on a tight budget .
Design
The Nokia Asha 305 is a sleek looking smartphone with
stylishly cut edges. The dimensions of the phone are 53.8 x 110.3 x 12.8
mm. Hence, with a thickness of 12.8 mm, the phone is quite thin and
fits well into the palm of the hand. The phone weighs in at an extremely
light 98 g.
Features and performance
The most striking feature of the Asha 305 is the 3-inch touchscreen display. However, the touchscreen is of the resistive type, which doesn’t inspire too much confidence unlike the capacitive ones. In this case, a little pressure is required to register the touch due to the nature of the resistive touchscreen. It would have been nice if Nokia had included a stylus in the package. Typing messages and website addresses can be frustrating, especially if you have thick fingers. To top this, the jittery user interface makes things worse. You have to be patient while scrolling through the icons, contacts and song list. You can’t expect much from an entry-level phone such as this one, but it shouldn’t have been this jittery either.
The overall performance of the Asha 305 is good . The earpiece is loud enough to converse comfortably in noisy public transport and crowded places.
