The latest members of the Asha
lineup for emerging markets from
Nokia have been announced, the
Asha 500 , Asha 502, and the 3G-
powered Asha 503 .
The successors to the Asha 501 , all
three devices will come with an
additional "ice layer" on top of the
characteristic bright colors -
essentially a clear shell covering the
back of the device.
The camera interface has been
revamped, including the ability to
quickly access the camera directly by
swiping up from the lockscreen. You
can also swipe left and right to
access snapped images and
camcorder mode, respectively, and
there's also one tap sharing to
Facebook.
As assumed, the Asha 500 will be
the base model of the new Asha 5-
series, and comes with a 2MP
camera. It comes in both single-SIM
and dual-SIM variants.
The Asha 502 is only available as a
dual-SIM device, and comes with a
beefier 5MP camera.
The Asha 503 comes with 3G
connectivity support, as well as
Gorilla Glass 2 screen protection.
It'll ship in both single and dual-
SIM variants.
All three are coming in Q4 of this
year, in "ice protected" color
combinations including white, black,
bright red, bright green, yellow, and
cyan.
The new lineup starts at $69 for the
Asha 500, while the Asha 502 and
503 will run you $89 and $99,
respectively. They'll all ship in Q4 of
this year to Africa, Asia-Pacific,
Europe, and the Middle East, with
the 500 and 503 also set to become
available in Latin America as well.
