Nokia Asha 305 Review

The Nokia Asha 305 is a touch-screen dual-SIM phone selling for a very affordable price, but as affordable as it is, the question lingers whether there is still space for feature phones as Android has pushed the envelope in budget devices and is now...

Cheap ; Series 40 UI refreshed, looks much better

Resistive touchscreen cripples the experience ; Device feels underpowered, lags ; No Wi-Fi connectivity

The handset's 3" resistive touch screen has pixel dimensions of 240x400. The display is good enough for indoor use, but there's no setting to raise or lower the brightness. This is made worse by the lack of an ambient light sensor. To top it off, the...

Great sound quality; Hot-swappable SIM slot; Sturdy build

Resistive touchscreen; Fixed display brightness; Mediocre video player; Lacks proper multitasking

Although the feature phone market is shrinking globally, it still generates considerable chunk of revenues and market share for Nokia – especially in developing markets like India. Also, with the low cost Android smartphones on the boundaries of the...

The Asha 305 is Nokia’s first full touch screen feature phone. And although the device boasts of a brilliant S40 UI the experience is marred with because of not so responsive resistive touch screen and the visible lag due to lack of power under the hood.
