My Nokia Asha 303 Review!

My dream to have a feel of the Nokia Asha Range was made a reality when got me my very own Nokia Asha 303; the launch was exciting and thrilling – very youthful- If you are the kind of person who digs social media and communicating faster, go for it, why?  All your social network platforms in one place! After a week-long use, I have decided to review the handset for your reading. Watch out for a video review soon, till then- ENJOY! 

                                                                                            Design

The Nokia Asha 303 handset may look basic, but very stylish and solid with lots of surprises. It has a flashy and classy 2.4 inches capacity touch display (320× 240 pixels), it’s intelligently responsive for usage especially browsing and scrolling. 

The Asha 303 also comes with a QWERTY keyboard fixed nicely beneath it- you will surely enjoy that too if you are a QWERTY interface lover- hasn’t got gaps between keys so be gentle when typing else you will finger-slip, the space bar has quite some space though.

With its curvy gentle feature from top to bottom the handset is designed.


                      No need to be scared by its size the Nokia Asha 303 weighs 99g only and measures 13.9mm thick- not need to worry fits easily into my pocket and will sure fit nicely into yours too. The Asha 303 is available in a range of colours; Red, Graphite, Green, White, Aqua and Purple. 

  
                  To the Best of my knowledge the Red has already landed in Ghana, colour availability varies by country, but looking forward to the other colours soon. Smartly fitted aboard is a CPU- 1GHz, you can browse, watch videos and text faster too with 3G connections and Wi-Fi, yep- you read rightly Comes with Wi-Fi- so now you can Facebook, tweet, chat and WhatsApp  everywhere …lols! Nokia’s OVI store will always serve you with applications- no worries. The Asha 303 like many Nokia handsets is very easy to navigate, don’t hesitate to consult the manual though- just in case!




        For game enthusiast, My Asha 303 came with a favourite game already loaded, Angry Birds Lite, a lighter version of the ever popular bird tossing game. Well- doesn’t come in full pack, that’s sad but the game runs smoothly- trust me!

 

 

          Thanks to the 1 GHz processor, “style meets speed”-Nokia. So will yours on purchase! Other games on the handset Asphalt 4 Elite Racing (demo), Climate Mission, Brain Challenge 3(demo). 

Camera

The Nokia Asha 303 in the rear has a 3.2-megapixel camera, well- not a high resolution compared to the Nokia C3-01 (5 megapixel), or iPhone 4S or Samsung Galaxy S2 (both with 8 megapixel camera’s) but still cool, trendy and equally captures memorable events, family, loved ones and friends.

Memory

In-built storage capacity is 100MB- rather low, but a 2GB micro SD card comes with the package on purchase, that will boost space for more storage. Lest I forget- the handset supports up to 32GB for your enjoyment! ;)

          All in all I would say this is phone is a Smarter QWERTY or better put best touch-QWERTY-smart phone launched by Nokia so far! The Asha 303 has got good battery life- up to 8 hours and could last a while with music lovers too.
