Nokia Asha 303



Nokia is bringing out new range of smartphones that are quite handy aiming the youth and emerging market in very affordable price. Nokia Asha 303 is among such phones. Though its specs are not too impressive but still there are already many loyal followers of Nokia who believes in this phone and using it.
                                                                                                             (you can buy this mobile from Here)

Nokia Asha 303 feels pretty good in hand owing to its curved back and tapered back. 2.6 inch touchable screen with QWETRY keypad gives Nokia Asha 303 a quite impressive and attractive look. It is built in metallic body but still it is very light weight.  The top of the mobile is reserved for the audio jack port and charging port. Volume rocker and lock is present on the right side of the mobile. 



For the 1st time capacitive touch screen technology has been used in the S40 mobiles. The screen resolution is 240x320. Its display is not so impressive; its pixel density is 154ppi. Display having such resolution and pixel density is not considered to be impressive now-a-days.

There are no spaces between the keys in the keyboard. All keys are sort of connected to each other which makes typing a bit difficult. The keyboard also feels a bit plasticky, non-existent key spaces don’t give a good impression. Overall you cannot call your typing experience very comfortable.


Its interface has been improved a lot if we compare it to the old nightmarish series 40 smartphones. Its touch has been improved quite decently. Screen is very responsive. So on small touch you can access whatever you want. The menu is provided with big icons. Its big icons give a slight look of Symbian Belle OS. Despite having 1GHz processor, Nokia Asha 303 doesn’t support multi-tasking.  It is considered to be the draw-backs of the Nokia Asha 303.



Nokia Asha has 3.2 Mega Pixel camera with a quite good quality. You can easily adjust white balance and exposure. There are also many funny frames provided, face recognition and few effects also.   
Finally I would say it is an average QWETRY phone by Nokia. Its touch has been improved a lot by introducing capacitive touch screen technology. There are many things which are needed to be improved in this smartphone.

iPhone 5 Roundup: Aaron's Hardware Requests


In this iPhone 5 Roundup, Aaron focuses on the hardware side of things. The iPhone 4S design is old - ancient in tech years. It's time for a refresh, and the iPhone 5 (or iPhone 6, or new iPhone) needs some new goods. A bigger display is needed, 4G LTE and a bigger battery are crucial, and a thinner design would be neat. A $99 entry-level variant would be really nice as well (read: NOT the iPhone 4S at a lower price point)
