The Nokia Asha 311, as expected, was launched today with price band of under Rs. 7,500. This is a single SIM phone with 1GHz speed running on Series 40 propriety OS with Nokia Touch user interface.
Of the three handsets namely the Nokia Asha 305, 306 and this one – the Asha 311, the Nokia 305 is already available in the market. The price tag seems good but really does not come anywhere near to the Android phones. However it is good option for Nokia lovers.
The Nokia Asha 311 comes with trimmed features like 128MB RAM and 256MB ROM with 140 MB user internal storage. This seems less, however do note that this handset runs on S40 OS and the memory requirements are more than enough for that OS.
The capacitive touchscreen display is with Gorilla glass for added protection. The screen size is 3 inches with 240×400 pixels resolution. This Nokia phone supports 3G (14.4Mbps), 2G and comes with a Full Focus 3.2 megapixel camera (no flash). The Asha 311 weighs 95 grams with 12.9 mm thickness.
The 1110mAh battery (BL-4U) gives standby time of about 32 days and talktime of up to 6 hours on 3G network. When using 2G network only, you can expect a talktime of about 14 hours and standby time of around 29 days.

Hi Gogi, can you suggest a few document readers which are suitable, tried and tested for these s40 phones like Nokia Asha 311. There is no pre-installed document reader for word, .pdf etc. Adobe Reader, Foxit Reader, PDF Reader Lite are not supported in this phone. The result is that the email attachments are impossible to open.
Thanks.
I have not used a Nokia phone for a long time,
sorry.
Download ezreader.
Yeah nokia is proving its worth with such crap out every time, No flash? lousy, battery life is low too. Camera is just 3.2 not even 5MP.
The RAM looks very less
Condition of Nokia seems to be very pathetic, Asha 311 is a piece of **** compared to the models out there in the market.
Os: Symbian 40 that means no multitasking i.e forget more than one app, unless there is a dedicated button, you cant even change music/song when using same app. My phone 7230 came at 2006 has same retarded os. It gets better, there is no app support for s40 either. Why use 1ghz processor when the best graphic game/app is 2-bit super mario. Rs. 7.5k makes me laugh. If you get this you got some 1-2k phone? Since Phone calling is what you are gona get outa it.
