A few days ago, we brought to you the news of Nokia launching the world’s first ever Whatsapp dedicated mobile phone, the Asha 210 but back then, the price of the device was not revealed. Now the device has just got itself a price and it has been officially priced at Rs.3,999 and the same can be bought from Saholic.com. The price has been given for the Single SIM variant of the device and the dual SIM version of the feature phone is expected to follow soon with a price tag of around Rs.4,500.
The Asha 210 comes across as a great device with good build quality and will get itself a following amongst those who like to text a lot and like to stay online all the time over Instant Messengers such as Whatsapp.
Here’s a list of the specifications of the device.:
Nokia gets the bulk of its sales volumes from the sale of feature phones and it makes a lot of sense if the company keeps on strengthening its feature phone range. The Nokia Asha 210 has a well laid out QWERTY keyboard with quite tactile keys which offer a good input.
The feature phone will come pre loaded with applications such as Youtube, Facebook and Twitter. The Asha 210 is a youth centric and a very vibrant device that serves its basic purpose of texting with ease. The Asha 210 is expected to reach a lot of online an offline retailers in the coming few days in both the guises, single as well as dual SIM.
Lava’s premium brand, Xolo has got itself a niche in the budget smartphone segment in India for the mere reason that it offers a way better build quality than the rest of the companies battling it out in the budget segment and at a price tag lower than them. The company’s Q series has been known for its quad core devices and after Q800 and Q700 getting launched, the Q1000 which will be the flagship device has just been spotted online.
The Xolo Q1000 has been spotted on flipkart.com and the device has been listed with a coming soon status without a price tag. But another online shopping portal, the Maniac Store has listed it for Rs.13,999 The smartphone has been priced at Rs.12,999. The smartphone will be a Canvas A116 rival and will offer a spec sheet pretty similar to it.
Samsung has been getting a great response for the Galaxy S4 and the company wants to capitalise as much as it can on the success of the device. At the recently held Google I/O event, we witnessed the arrival of a stock Android version of the Galaxy S4 and today the pictures of a rugged version of the device have leaked on to the interweb. From the pictures it can be easily made out that the device is a Galaxy S4 and the variant is the Galaxy S4 Active.
The Active title signifies its activity-friendliness and the ability to be a go anywhere phone. It will rival the Sony Xperia Z in this department.
Apple is USA what Oppo is to China. And Oppo is all set to do a touch down on Indian shores and enter the lucrative smartphone arena in India with its flagship smartphone, the Find 5. The Find 5 has been the talk of the town since the time it has been launched primarily because of its limited availability and the fact that it provides the experience a flagship from renowned MNC would give you at a considerably lower price tag.
And the company will be launching its Find for Rs.27,445 for the 16GB variant while the variant offering twice the memory will go on sale for Rs. 31,259. The company will be entering India with the help of AndroidGuruz which has been promoted by Zopo Mobiles, another Chinese company.
