Nokia Asha 305, Nokia Asha 306, and Nokia Asha 311 Revealed! Touch Based Asha Series!

Although Nokia‘s main focus these days were dedicated to the Windows Phone smartphones, they still gave time to the budget conscious market by introducing three new additions to the Nokia Asha family. Through the success of the first batch, they came up with – Nokia Asha 305, Nokia 306, and Nokia 311. All three handsets will be touch phones unlike their predecessors which used the physical QWERTY keyboard.

The Nokia 305 and 306’s specifications and features are somewhat identical to each other. They both boast a 3-inch WQVGA Touch Screen Display, GPRS/EDGE mobile data connectivity, and a 2 megapixel rear camera.
