During the last quarter of 2013, Nokia released their Asha 502 model that is similar to the youthful and vibrant Lumia smartphones that really captures the young generation of mobile users and even those who are young at heart. Nokia Asha 502 is available in vibrant colors including yellow, red, green, cyan, yellow and black. With the crystal outer cover that feels like glass it gives the impression that the product is expensive and fragile at the same time.
Honestly, the Nokia Asha 502 is not expensive its retail price is around Php 4, 700 and it’s not fragile because the glass like crystal outing cover is made of plastic. Running in Asha Touch 1.2 operating system, what’s good with the device is that navigation through out the phone is just as easy as swiping from any direction. To go to menu swipe right, for the summary of the calls, messages and others swipe left, for settings such as WIFI, Bluetooth and others swipe down and lastly for basic commands for camera and other messaging apps swipe up.
The Nokia Asha 502 gives that easy to grip because of the crystal case and also the size which is the dimension is 99.6 x 59.5 x 11.1 mm. Not to mention the weight is as light as ordinary empty Starbucks tumbler which is around 100grams. This kind of mobile device is perfect for those who are light to moderate smartphone users particularly to those who do basis SMS, call, multimedia and some email checking.
Regarding multimedia, the device can accommodate up to 32 GB external memory. Device owners can enjoy a bigger space for their MP3 playlist aside from what they can hear from the FM radio app. For photos and videos, Nokia Asha 502 has fixed focus 5 MP camera with LED flash. And there are wide range of apps and games that they can download via Nokia Stores every time they need something for killing time, information, entertainment or productivity at home or work.
The device is a dual SIM model so owners can have two SIMs which I suggest get SMART and SUN for the better call, text and data bundles. An additional pro for the Nokia Asha 502 is that because of its vibrant design you will surely not settle with the black or neutral colors in terms of accessories. That’s why they have equally vibrant headphones, earphones and even portable USB charger to compliment with your device.
The Nokia Asha 502 is available in Nokia Stores nationwide and authorized dealers. The unit goes with high efficiency charger AC-20, Nokia battery BL-5A 1010 mAh, Nokia stereo headset WH-108, Nokia 4 GB microSD card, and user guide in the packaging.
