Nokia to Launch Their Asha Phone This Month in India
News — On December 5, 2011 at 11:31 amLaunched at a global event in London in October, the Nokia Asha phones have been announced in Indian. The Nokia Asha 300 and Nokia Asha 200 are the two Asha handsets that will be entering the Indian market and both of them will run Nokia’s Symbian S40 OS. The launch of Asha 300 and Asha 200 are significant part of Nokia’s strategy in African nations and India. Now, while the Asha 200 will be entering the market somewhere in between mid-December, the Nokia Asha 300 is expected to enter the market in early January, 2012.
The Finnish cell phone manufacturer expects that the Asha handsets will impress the young buyers and will fit in the budget of price-mindful consumers, while they target the smartphone market that runs on Windows Phone 7.
Speaking at the event the managing director of Nokia India, D Shivakumar said, “We at Nokia work to offer the best and the most relevant and affordable innovations to the customers. Nokia Asha 200 and Nokia Asha 300 will be raising the bar in the music world and mobile internet segment. Both the handsets will be companionable with Nokia’s ‘limitless music service’.
In the recent past, Nokia has faced some tough competition from local manufacturers such as Karbonn and Micromax. Although Nokia still is the biggest market leader in India, we think that its share has come down by around 20 percent of past few years.
Nokia Asha 200 is the first dual-SIM QWERTY phone from Nokia and offers one-click access to chat through Nokia Messaging and email and some other social networking services such as Facebook. The Asha 200 comes with a 2 MP camera having enhanced stereo FM radio and 4 X zoom. The Nokia Asha 300 has both a keypad and a touchscreen. The Asha 300 offers support for 3G networks and has a 5 MP camera for clicking snaps, which further could be arranged and edited in Nokia gallery.
