The Asha 501 flaunts a 3-inch QVGA display and includes features like a 3.2-megapixel rear camera, memory that can be expanded using a microSD card and a battery that the company claims will last up to 17 hours. Connectivity wise, the device will be available in Single and Dual-SIM variants depending upon the market, and for now only supports 2G along with Wi-Fi. Nokia did reveal that a 3G variant is on its way.
On the software front, the Asha 501 sports a swipe-based UI that is reminiscent to the Nokia N9 days and includes features like Fastlane and a Flipboard-like web magazine called Xpress Now.Hardware aside, the biggest talking point of the Asha 501 is going to be its new swipe based UI, which has been highly inspired by the N9.
This device is completely different to the Asha 210 launched last month, sporting a new swipe-based user interface and will be available towards the end of Q2 for $99 before local taxes and subsidies.This would include phone calls, text messages, notes, music, video, apps, mail and so on.
Fastlane is pretty impressive as it brings the concept of multi-tasking without demanding a heavy duty operating system
