The Nokia Asha 200 is slightly cheaper than the 302 and is a dual-SIM phone, but short of the Asha 302's 3G, 1GHz processor and improved camera. Potential buyers of the Nokia Asha 302 are looking for a bargain, so let's see if there's more bang for their buck to be had elsewhere. You can even use the 302 as a 3G data modem, though you'll have to do it the old fashioned way - with a USB cable and the PC Suite. Plus, with all those Internet connectivity options you'll always have access to your email, Facebook, Twitter and WhatsApp contacts.
The addition of Wi-Fi 802.11n support adds more compatibility at home - great if you're slowly moving away from Wi-Fi b/g devices and on to the newer and faster standard.
The more powerful hardware makes for a snappier overall experience and the camera has entered 'almost usable' territory.įast, globe-trotting penta-band 3G is a big win too - along with the quad-band 2G, the Asha 302 will work on any GSM/UMTS network out there. Back in 2010, it was a solid texting and social device for those on a tight budget, with Wi-Fi connectivity a big point in its favor.įast forward a couple of years and we have the Nokia Asha 302 - the rightful heir of the C3, bringing substantial improvements in several areas. The Nokia C3 was (actually, still is) an immensely popular S40 QWERTY messenger.
