Nokia Asha 503 - Dual Sim Phone Price in Pakistan
Nokia Asha 503 Review
The Greatest of Asha Series
Till this time, Nokia has released about 19 feature phones and low end Smartphones, which are collectively known as the members of Asha series. Though all the members of this lineup have a camera, but it is for the very first time that you will see an extra powerful 5 MP camera both in the Asha 502 and 503 models. Another distinction enjoyed by the last 4 versions (500-503) is that they are powered by Nokia Asha Platform mobile operating system. Even with the 2592 x 1944 pixel LED flash camera, the Nokia Asha 503 price in Pakistan remains within the affordable budgetary limits of a lower middle class buyer.
Smart Dimensions and Light Weight
With smart dimensions, this feature-rich device brings you a 3 inch large HD display which supports the multitouch gestures of up to 2 fingers. Measuring about half an inch in thickness, the brand new Asha looks stylish and attractive in design, and weighs as low as 111 gram. Its pleasant TFT capacitive touchscreen is protected by a hard, scratch resistant covering—Corning Gorilla Glass 2—which safeguards the display against mechanical abrasion.
6 Sophisticated Body Shades
The majority of the cell phone brands has either no color choice at all, or has two or three shades for the body, but the same is not the case with your new Nokia Asha 503. The latest member of the Asha family is being offered in as many as 6 eye-catching body shades, which include Blue, Red, White, Black, Green and Yellow. This brilliant color variety will significantly contribute to the reputation and appeal of the gadget among all and sundry.
36 Hours Music Playback Time
One of the strongest and most appealing features of a portable electronic device is its power storage capacity. It is based on the fact, “The stronger the battery potential, the longer it will keep your gadget running without a recharge. If, on one hand, you get 12 hours of talk time and consecutive 34 hours of music playback, on the other hand, its powerful 1200 mAh battery fuels the handset for about 35 days on stand-by. So, the round the clock music lovers will get satisfied if they decide to buy Nokia Asha 503 as it will give them continuous entertaining for nearly one and a half day.
Single and Dual SIM models
Fortunately, this time the youngest Asha sibling is available in both single as well as dual SIM alternatives, so that the users may buy either of these according to their taste and requirements. The dual-SIM model will best serve the needs of busy businessmen and high profile professional users who want to manage the personal and private accounts separately. In addition to it, the dual SIM feature also allows you choose different usage and pricing plans for the personal and public contacts.
Xpress Now & Xpress Browser
For discovering new, trendy content from across the internet with much faster speed, the 503 model brings you two outstanding features, namely, Nokia Xpress Browser and Nokia Xpress Now app. Here, you can enjoy the best of the internet usage experience, as data is compressed without the loss of its original quality. In this way, you can browse more content with comparatively low net usage price. It not only brings the world at your finger tips, but also enables you ‘stay one step ahead’. Owing to its simultaneous multiple sites browsing capability, you can easily switch to another website while the previous one loads.
Bottom Line
Though it has an unbelievably low Nokia Asha 503 price, yet there is no compromise for the quality of its features. Its standard and relatively advanced features are sufficiently strong to attract the potential buyers who want to satisfy their desires while remaining their financial limits. The specs of special importance include: extra powerful camera; the latest 1.2 Nokia Asha Software Platform; long life battery; 32 GB microSD card support; 3G networking, and so on. There is one thing yet more which hasn’t been discussed till now—it is FM Radio with pleasant stereo sound quality.
