The recent layout of Nokia is really too powerful to understand. Today, we released a mobile phone with the price of $72 and the model of Asha 210. Let's see how it works.
Nokia's new flagship 1050 goes on sale today, and another low-cost artifact, code named Asha 210, is released today. It uses a physical full keyboard and S40 system. It supports 2G network and has wifi blessing. Surprisingly, Nokia seems to like playing with colors. Asha 210 will have several beautiful colors, such as yellow, blue, red, black and white.
Asha 210 seems to be a full keyboard for BlackBerry in terms of positioning, and what is more striking is that one of the function keys can launch WhatsAPP with one key. Nokia said that consumers who buy Asha 210 can use WhatsAPP for one year for free, while the annual fee of WhatsAPP on S40 platform is 0.99 dollars.
WhatsAPP has 2 million active users every month. It is obvious that Nokia aims at these users and launches Asha 210. Nokia says Asha 210 is the world's first WhatsAPP hardware device. In fact, the shortcut key of the black version is Facebook. It seems that Nokia will make different settings for popular social software in different markets.
Will it be the microblog version or the WeChat version that will enter the Chinese market?
Asha 210's hardware configuration is very low-end, with 2 million rear cameras and dedicated shooting keys. The processor seems to be lower than 1GHz, and one of its major selling points is the physical full keyboard, which supports shortcut keys to turn on/off Bluetooth wifi, etc. Asha 210 will also launch a dual card version for specific markets, presumably targeting the needs of developing countries.
The Asha 210 also has a strong battery life. The 1200 mA battery provides up to 46 days of standby time and about 12 hours of talk time. Nokia said that Asha 210 will further reduce power consumption by using push notification technology.
