The
Nokia Asha 309 is an affordable feature phone which has a 3 inch touch screen, a 2 megapixel camera, Bluetooth and microSD storage. The device costs between $105 – $110 which makes it quite affordable. But with low end smartphones like the
Samsung Galaxy Pocket costing around the same, we don’t see why a user would settle for a feature phone like the Asha 309.
Nokia’s issue here is that Windows Phones cannot achieve the same low prices as Android devices and the Asha series continues its struggle to keep their feature phone lineup alive.
If you select Nokia’s S40 running Asha 309, you will have to settle for using java apps and do without social sharing options we are all quite used to. But Nokia’s brand name is sometimes enough to keep it going and we hope they have a long term plan to reach out to this price range.
