Sooo, after a long absence... Very long absence. I'm back and ready to begin blogging again. I most say sorry to my readers first and foremost, my disappearance was unavoidable and due to someone close to me being hospitalized. So moving on, this past month I have been told
on numerous occasions that I only carter for the high class AKA rich people.
When I asked why persons would reply saying “I only review expensive phone and
gadgets.” After looking back at the last six months I must admit that the items
I have been reviewing does seem a bit high maintenance. So this week I have
found for you a simple Nokia phone that comes with most of the bell and whistle
of a high end phone for less than half the cost. The phone we are talking about
is the Nokia Asha 302 which is ideal
for consumer that are conservative.
What is it?
The Nokia Asha 302 brings excellent
connectivity with practical processing power without the needlessly complicated
user interface that most persons fear
from a smart phones. This phone features both 3G and Wi-Fi
connectivity which makes it so easy to
access your email, Facebook and Twitter accounts and stay connected.
Display
The Asha 302
screen measures 2.4 inches and has a resolution of 320x240 pixels. The display
is OK but it isn’t anything you
could brag and boast about. Texts and icons are very visible in sunlight but
the viewing angles are horrible. Although, given the fact that this phone is priced
for the conservative consumer this 2.4 inch screen and it’s quality is more
than what you could ask for.
Operating System AKA
“OS”
The Nokia Asha 302 uses the Series 40 feature phone platform which
is ancient technology in my books but it still gets the job done .Though, Nokia
has done some neat additions like a
home-screen social widget which lets you update your Facebook status and so on. There's also a customizable row of
shortcuts at the bottom of the screen to play with. Also, this device has a has
a social integration built into it from the get go. It has a Social app, which
lets you log in with Facebook, Twitter, Flickr
accounts which gives the user vast social
networking capabilities that are convenient.
Camera
This phone has a 3MP fixed-focus camera that produces
photos with maximum resolution of 2048 x 1536. The camera on screen displays a
column on the bottom with the virtual shutter key in the center and the options
and back keys besides it. The Asha 302
is also capable of capturing VGA@15fps and QVGA@30fps video. When it’s all said and done the camera is more
than acceptable for the price you buying the phone.
Final Thoughts
The Nokia Asha 302
is a basic phone that doesn’t have a touch screen but has done a remarkable job
of working around that short coming. Also, there aren't many phones at this
price point that can offer so much features to the consumer not to mention the
build quality. I personally liked how the loudspeaker sounded . It was powerful and didn’t sound too bad when it was
set to the highest volume level. I would recommend this phone to person who
want a decent phone without the complications. The Nokia Asha 302 retails at about
$10,000(JMD) and is worth it if can’t afford a Samsung Galaxy S3.
