Meet the Nokia Asha 311, Nokia’s attempt to end the war between smartphones and “dumbphones”. This 3-inch touchscreen phone packs a 1GHz processor, 3G and Wi-Fi for location skills, but it’s running Nokia’s power sipping S40 operating system, which you...
For an operating system that has its roots in early 2000s feature phones, it’s remarkable what you can do with S40 on the Nokia Asha 311. You can browse the web, get email, peruse Facebook and Twitter, chat over instant messaging or even with smartphone-owning mates using the popular WhatsApp. You can even use Nokia Maps, and it’ll make a good stab at showing where you are using network positioni...

As a tonic to these all-singing, all-dancing smartphones – that cost too much and consume power like there is no tomorrow – the Asha 311 has much to appreciate. It’s cheap, well made, does many of the basic things a fully fledged smartie will do, is e...

With budget Android handsets now available for as little as £70 on Pay As You Go, is anyone really interested in cheap as chips, non-Android smartphones? Nokia certainly seems to think so, as this is exactly the type of handset that the Nokia Asha 311 wi...

Small, compact design, Poor web browser, No GPS, Limited range of apps...
Specs As you would expect, the Nokia Asha 311 is driven primarily via its touchscreen. This is pretty small, measuring just 3.0-inches across the diagonal and its resolution is quite low too at just 240 x 400 pixels. That said, the small size of the displ...

Released at the same time as its even lower-priced cousin, the 306, Nokia's Asha 311 is another low-cost, few-frills workhorse feature phone that aims to cover the basics and little else, with 3G, Wi-Fi and a 3.2 megapixel camera, but no smartphone fle...
