Nokia Asha 500 is a quite basic device launched many years ago, which counts with a 2 MP back facing camera and a 2.8 inches touch-screen. We will get a better understanding of this cellphone's characteristics when we get into specific details.
This phone's thickness , 0.45 inches, is a bit far from nowadays standards, but it still feels fine in the hand. The Nokia Asha 500 isn't really a compact device, considering it is 4.04" long,but it only packs a 2.8 inches screen. Nokia made this device in a variety of colors: black, yellow, green, blue, red and white. Nokia appears to have forgotten about weight optimization in this 3.57 oz cellphone.
Nokia packed this device with a interesting 2.8 inches screen, and a resolution of 320 x 240 (QVGA), making everything look quite nice. This screen uses LCD capacitive technology, but it can't detect multi touch gestures.
The Nokia Asha 500 is only equipped with a 2 megapixels back camera. this cellphone's back camera lens has a maximum F2.8 aperture so it has some trouble taking nice pictures in low light conditions. It is also able to shoot videos in 320x240 (QVGA) at 13 fps. In addition, the camera features flash.
This phone includes WiFi connectivity (although it can't provide it to other devices around, acting as a hotspot) and 3G connectivity, using EDGE technologies. This phone has 2 Micro SIM cards so it can to use two different phone lines or carriers.
This phone uses a low capacity 1200 mAh Li-Ion removable battery that can keep this cellphone running for some hours, although you will probably need to charge it even after moderate use. Nokia reports a 14 hours talk time and a 528 hs stand by time for this cellphone.
This cellphone also features Bluetooth (3.0), and a couple sensors likeProximity Sensor and Accelerometer.
Nokia sells this phone for 95 dollars, which is a high price for a phone this level. Nokia sells this cellphone with Nokia Stereo Headset WH-108, Nokia Charger AC-11, Nokia 4 GB microSD Card and Nokia Battery BL-4U 1200 mAh.
