Fast and more responsive user interface, better social connectivity, smooth and affordable internet experience, these were just few of the vital features in the minds of Nokia developers when they created the Nokia Asha 501, a new family of the Asha smartphones that was unveiled today in New Delhi, India. The handset pushes the boundaries of affordable smartphone design with bold color, a high-quality build and an innovative user interface running the new Asha platform. .
Standout design, innovative user interface
The Nokia Asha 501 makes high-end design and quality accessible to more people. The device is available in a choice of six striking colors that complement the elegant design. It comes in just two parts: a durable, removable casing and the scratch-resistant glass display, which features a three-inch, capacitive touchscreen and a single ‘back’ button. The compact new Asha weighs only 98 grams, for the ultimate portability.
The Nokia Asha 501 is built to make it easier for people to access everything they love, with a simple swipe and a choice of two main screens: Home and Fastlane. Home is a traditional, icon-based view for launching individual apps or accessing a specific feature, like the dialer or phone settings, meanwhile, Fastlane view was inspired by how people really use their phone featuring recently accessed contacts, social networks, applications among others. Fastlane is like a record of how the phone is used, giving people a glimpse of their past, present and future activity, and helping them multitask by providing easy access to their favorite features.
Asha platform for next-generation family of devices
The Nokia Asha 501 is the first smartphone built on the new Asha platform, which leverages Nokia’s investments in Smarterphone, a company which Nokia acquired in 2012.
Many of the most popular applications are already available or in development for the Nokia Asha platform, including CNN, eBuddy, ESPN, Facebook, Foursquare, Line, LinkedIn, Nimbuzz, Pictelligent, The Weather Channel, Twitter, WeChat, World of Red Bull and games from Electronic Arts, Gameloft, Indiagames, NamcoBandai and Reliance Games. WhatsApp and other key partners continue to explore new Asha.
