This was my first ever phone which my mom gifted me back in 2014, Brings back so many old memories! The games I used to play on it, The day I took a plane's picture from it.
I'm still using this as my back up phone..sometimes my main driver, great battery life..does the basic stuff without any hitches..bought mine from a friend for around 20 bucks, worth every penny..!
It's not as powerful as a true smartphone but for a casual user it's more than enough. And battery life is pretty amazing. I wish smartphone manufacturers would focus on battery life a bit, instead of trying to cram Quad HD displays, more cores and whatsoever, that nobody wants.
"A smartphone, or smart phone, is a mobile phone built on a mobile operating system, with more advanced computing capability and connectivity than a feature phone." proved my point.
This shit is WAAAAAY better that all the smart phones on the market this thing is a beast you should do a comparison against the iPhone 5 Samsung Galaxy s4 HTC one and lg optimus g pro! Just so we can see it smash all its competitors!
Even 5110 is very stable, its the first inflexible cellphone in the Philippines. Without Nokia, the popularity of mobile phones here will not exist. Nokia is the first most reliable brand in the Phils.. Now, i have Asha501 and overall im amazed with their features with cheerful colors, windows 8 aliked, great for ur eyes and better touchscreen interface i ever seen, even great as other smartphones. So many applications already installed, sounds so clear, qwerty keyboard makes u comfortable.
I like the fact that nokia is making smartphones like the lumia range but at the same time they are also making phones for low budget guys. Nice work nokia !
i m a kid(13). My dad said that he would buy me a phone around the range of rs.5000. i dont like androids basically because everyone uses idevices in my home. then when i looked at this phone.i decided that i was going to buy this phone. trust me this phone works smoother than cheap androids
Nokia Asha 501 is one of the best windows phone . It comes with impressive features and attractive model. It is available in many different colors. Features of Nokia Asha 501 :- 1. FM Radio 2. 3.2 MP Primary Camera 3. Dual Standby SIM (GSM + GSM) 4. 3-inch LCD Capacitive Touchscreen 5. Expandable Storage Capacity of 32 GB 6. Wi-Fi Enabled
im using it. Its not android phone so you will not get a good game in it, but all day use its pretty good it has whatsapp and wechat but you have to download it in its appstore for free. i recommend this phone to anyone who just need small social app and normal use. But if dont have the budget and still wan android phone go for galaxy y. The price is just a bit higher.
This phone is for young teens or people who uses the basic features and just the basic features only. For people like me, i would not get it but for others, it might be a good deal.
Why doesn't nokia just jump on the android bandwagon already? I just checked the specs of this phone and it pales in comparison with my cheap android phone. I have better resolution, more ram, a better camera etc...
I want to see this as a full size mid range phone! The Os looks awesome and intuitive, so why can't we get a 4.7 inch 720p dual core phone? I would love it.
The thing is, The Asha series is aimed for the developing countries. Some people don't have the money to buy super powerful smartphones so Nokia decided to create a line-up of "smartphones" for people who don't have the money. This is worth around 45-65 Euros/Pounds, so it doesn't have all of the good specs you would like.
This was my first ever phone which my mom gifted me back in 2014, Brings back so many old memories! The games I used to play on it, The day I took a plane's picture from it.
It was my first phone as well , it brings all the old memories
back here after 8 years, this was my first phone and it feels nostalgic, on the ip12 pro max now :)
I'm still using this as my back up phone..sometimes my main driver, great battery life..does the basic stuff without any hitches..bought mine from a friend for around 20 bucks, worth every penny..!
Eleazar Sotomayor haha
i can i teranfer sim sontact to phone momery ?
Omg! I don't know how I used this so many years ago. It's so small. Btw this was my first touchscreen phone. I was excited. I loved it. 😁

Anyone watching in 2017? I just missed the S40 phones 😀
Xegovia Jhay me
I still need this phone right now, still cool with me
Xeg Jhake i agree with you bad choice to stop supporting s40 for s30+
I'am in 2019
2020 here
I still have this now in 2022 and its very durable..i had this way back 2014
I have that back in 2013..and its a very nice phone
In my opinion,the 501 is the best amoung allbthe asha series as it runs very smoothly.Who agrees with this???
agree :)
yep
I wish nokia will make a windows phone this size with a front camera. The phone is fun sized and perfect in my pocket.
I completely agree with you, there's no advantage to buying the Asha over any other budget Android.
cant deny that Nokia has the best sound system...
"A smartphone, or smart phone, is a mobile phone built on a mobile operating system, with more advanced computing capability and connectivity than a feature phone." proved my point.
Looks durable and a decent value.
Thanks Nokia for sharing your steady products here. I suggest this phone to everyone especially sa mga pinoys.Di kayo magsisisi. Sobrang tibay.

i have that,neon red...it is a very good phone...fast and very smooth touch screen,,fast performance...no need a high specs to be fast
I hope HMD revive Asha with 4g connection.
Nokia phones lives and can be used forever. The most durable and immovable brand in the world. In Nokia, you feel safe.
Thanks for the review! I was confused if i should buy this or not. But your review was really helpful and it helped me a lot in making my choice.

At present GREEN and CYAN colours are not available in India. Will they be available in future? Thank you...

Victor + john v + ray = perfect phonearena
I'm curious to see if I can survive with one of these phones now that I am used to the iPhone, I'll try it one day

Hi
most rare phone For nokia
Only phone arena does this reviews.
back when oem still makes desent feature phones
im using it. Its not android phone so you will not get a good game in it, but all day use its pretty good it has whatsapp and wechat but you have to download it in its appstore for free. i recommend this phone to anyone who just need small social app and normal use. But if dont have the budget and still wan android phone go for galaxy y. The price is just a bit higher.
Actually asha series is exactly that tipe of phones :)
Thank you! :) I've been wondering if there's a AppStore on it for ages!
I'd buy one as my backup and music phone...
Definitely not interested in this phone...ever...but thanks for reviewing so many different phones on PhoneArena...
if dont like the phone dont buy it.
remember that phone is not a android phone like Samsung GALAXY
it is a smart phone :)
This phone is for young teens or people who uses the basic features and just the basic features only. For people like me, i would not get it but for others, it might be a good deal.
i think its very small , check out lumia 520 or in this range its karbonn a6 !!!
Android OS is very good but it is very power hungry OS...so I would to move on ASHA platform...
Facebook app is very nice now
I dont remember using it on pc ;)
you said that nokia sucks but I know that the first phone use is the nokia 3310,3210...... nokia is realy awesome!!!
youre right dude
looks more smarter than any samsung shits
Really only 3 days of normal use on single charge? Producer says 26 days on standby for dual sim version...
I think it's the first non smartphone with a capacitive touchscreen.
is it good cuz i want to buy a good phone
put after i sawa this review iam holding it now
My friend want to sell this phone for only $13. But no one buying it :(
when will this device release???
This phone can be a smartphone if have 3G connection
Very good review!Thanks :))
I'm 13 too :) but I love Android phones
You are 20 now. Feel old yet?
Excuse me, but how long does it's battery life last on standby mode alone?
android needs minimum 500mb of ram to run almost smooth, asha just needs 64 mb of ram
Maaf telat 7 tahun
So you think a cheap Nokia phone has a decent quality?
guy, asha is not a windows phone.. asha is a symbian phone. while the lumia is windows phone.
Good review .. Thanks mate
Is there market for this phone?
The average consumer would get a cheap android instead of the Nokia Asha in my opinion...
that thing is probably as indestructible as diamond
Java apps. It's a feature phone.
that's your opinion ! i will go to Nokia :)
does this phone support call recording
I like nokia asha 501
very good phone
I think i like that phone
only if they can launch this phone again
That old Facebook app format!
They call it a feature phone yet it has apps and a web browser..
Does it work in canada?
coming soon
Good pocketable phone
Nokia feature phones or Cheap androids. I choose Nokia.
Good review
Phonearena deberian de poner subtitulos en español ya que su canal es muy bueno pero algunos no sabemos ingles
Does anyone know what website I could use to order this phone to canada? Preferably not ebay, but whatever works as long as I don't get scammed.
does it support watsapp and viber
Should I trade in my Galaxy Note 4 for this? Please reply.
Yes, this Phone has a better screen, better processor, better camera. It's the best phone ever
Try the lumia 1320
this phone is cute
brinh back memories
strong battery ok good device
its perhaps for some little children as first phone or then for some poorer people to Asia and Africa or for older people
Why doesn't nokia just jump on the android bandwagon already? I just checked the specs of this phone and it pales in comparison with my cheap android phone. I have better resolution, more ram, a better camera etc...
Nokia is good
My 94 year old granny is getting this phone
does the ICON that says Music is it Nokia Music ?
Superpoo i know this is a late reply, but i'm pretty sure you can transfer music from your computer to the music app
Save up a bit more and get the moto g, it's so much better, has android, a 720p screen, can play most games and only costs 170 dollars
Looks better than the Galaxy s4
Esta chido
I want to see this as a full size mid range phone! The Os looks awesome and intuitive, so why can't we get a 4.7 inch 720p dual core phone? I would love it.
