Nokia Asha 500 is a low level phone launched many years ago, packed with a 2 megapixels back camera and a small 2.8 inches capacitive display.
Graphic calculations generally uses a lot of CPU time, so this phone has a 320 MHz ARM Mali-400 MP1 GPU to help handle those graphic tasks.
This time, it seems like Nokia decided not to care so much about the weight in this 3.57 ounces phone. This device's thickness of 0.45 inches is a little far from current standards, but it still feels fine in the hand. Even though the Nokia Asha 500 is as big as 4.04 inches long and 2.38" wide, it only packs a smaller 2.8" display. Nokia is offering the Nokia Asha 500 in a wide range of color variations, black, yellow, green, blue, red and white.
This phone only features a 2 mega-pixels back-facing camera. Its back-facing camera lens has an aperture of F2.8 so it's serious problems taking good photographs in poor lighting conditions. It is capable of filming 320x240 QVGA videos at 13 fps. This device also counts with flash.
Nokia equipped the Nokia Asha 500 with a nice 2.8 inches display, and a 320 x 240 (QVGA) resolution, which makes all images and videos look quite good. This display uses LCD capacitive technology, but it can't detect multi touch gestures.
This cellphone has a poor 1200 mAh Li-Ion replaceable battery providing this cellphone with a below average battery duration. Nokia informs a 528 hours stand by time and a 14 hours talk time for this cellphone.
This cellphone provides WiFi capability (although it can't share it with other devices around, acting as a modem) and 3G internet connection, over EDGE technologies. The Nokia Asha 500 uses a Micro SIM card for GSM networks.
This phone also comes with Bluetooth (enables communication with other phones, computers and accessories), and a couple sensors likeProximity Sensor and Accelerometer.
Nokia offers the Nokia Asha 500 for $ 95, which is not cheap for a device this level. This cellphone is sold with Nokia Charger AC-11, Nokia 4 GB microSD Card, Nokia Stereo Headset WH-108 and Nokia Battery BL-4U 1200 mAh.
