Nokia has officially unveiled the Asha 210 in India, terming it the most social phone from this series so far and simultaneously hinting at its price. The manufacturer has stated that the handset should be going up for sale at around $72 which translates to approximately Rs. 3,903 as per today’s exchange rate.
While most companies are trying to reach people through the medium of SNS’, the Finland-based OEM has been making such attempts of its own. Bearing in mind how much staying in touch matters these days, it has posted on the phone, a button which is solely dedicated to WhatsApp. Additionally, there exists a chat screen notification feature so as to make sure that people stay updated about the incoming messages.
For those who detest running to their desktop PCs every time they feel the need to stream a video and high-end smartphones are out of the question, the Nokia Asha 210 comes with an inbuilt YouTube launcher. As a compensation for the lack of a front-facing camera, the phone features inbuilt voice guides to ensure well-centered self pictures.
The smartphone maker prides itself for packing the handset with a 1,200mAh battery which is capable of delivering standby of up to 46 days using a single SIM or 24 days in case users employ the other SIM slot as well. With the help of the same power pack, 2G owners should be able to reap up to 12 hours of talk time or 40 hours of music playback time.
In view of the fact that the company outlines the whole of second quarter as the release window for the Nokia Asha 210, we can expect the device to strike stores any time before June. The handset has not even hit pre-order status through any e-retailer just yet. Also, it will be seen splashed with yellow, cyan, black, magenta and white, upon its launch.
