After almost a month of being announced, the Nokia Asha 210 has been listed on an online store for Rs. 3,999.
The feature phone that sports a QWERTY hardware keyboard and a dedicated WhatsApp key has been
listed on e-commerce portal Saholic. However, it's not available for purchase at the time of writing this post and only the Black colour variant of the phone has been listed.
We checked the status of the phone's availability with Nokia and got a response that the phone is still not officially available and will go on sale in June. The listing was first
spotted by BGR India.
Nokia had
announced the Asha 210 in April. As we mentioned the phone comes with a dedicated WhatsApp button and free lifetime subscription to the messaging service. The phone comes with the ability to launch WhatsApp direct from contact cards in the Phonebook.
The Nokia Asha 210 comes with a 2-megapixel camera that can be accessed through a dedicated key even when the keypad is locked. The smart camera also offers a choice of image capture, editing and sharing options, including a self-portrait that lets you capture perfectly centred self portraits, even without a front-facing camera. The built-in voice guides the user to ensure they are in the frame, before taking the shot. The phone also comes with support for editing of images directly from the camera app and easy sharing of images to social networks.
Nokia Asha 210 also has a dedicated button for turning the Wi-Fi on or off. The phone comes
Slam sharing feature, also seen in
Nokia Asha 205 and Nokia 206. Slam makes it easy to share content over Bluetooth by eliminating the need of pairing the devices. FM radio is included as well. Asha 210 comes with Nokia Xpress Browser which, according to Nokia, reduces data consumption by up to 90 percent. The Nokia Asha 210 also features Nokia Nearby, a web app that lets people discover points of interest such as restaurants, shopping and ATM machines close to their location. Other pre-installed apps include YouTube, Facebook, Twitter and support for popular email accounts such as Gmail.
