Last week, I asked what you will do with the phone if you win it. Again the people here were amazing.
For this week, the question is, which other phone would you compare Nokia Asha 205 with. The brand does not matter here. When doing the comparison we would love to know some of the features that make Nokia Asha 205 better or the aspect which need to be improved as compared to the other phone. Again one person here will walk away with Nokia Asha 205, at the end of this week. And the floor is yours on the comments section….
Update
Closed and the winner is Samuel Ndungu. But the competition continues this week…look for the next update.
i will focus on the Nokia Asha 205 vs Samsung Chat 322
Where it overpowers the later:
-Nokia Asha 205 (2.4′) has around 9% bigger screen than Samsung Chat 322 (2.2′). so a bigger screen means more pleasing experience.
– Better Screen Resloution of the Nokia asha(320 x 240 Pixel) compared to the Samsung Chat 322(176 x 220 Pixel) means sharper and crisper screen.
-Nokia Asha 205( 64mb) has more storage capacity compared to the Samsung Chat 322 (54mb) so more storage for ur files and installing of applications
-Nokia Asha 205(890 h) has a better battery life compared to Samsung chat 322(500 h) which serves better when it comes to the phone’s standby time.
– U will notice Nokia Asha 205(94g) Lighter than Samsung Chat 322(95g) by a mere 1g in weight. a lighter phone is much convenient to carry around
Where it’s overpowered by the Samsung chat 322:
-Samsung Chat 322(12.3mm) is slimmer than Nokia Asha 205(13mm). hence the Chat will be more better to pocket easily
-Samsung Chat 322(12h) has Longer battery talk-time than Nokia Asha 205(11h)
-Samsung Chat 322(1.3 mp) has more mega pixels than Nokia Asha 205(0.3mp)
So in conclusion you can see that the Nokia Asha 205 is more appealing and desirable to purchase or own than the Samsung Chat 322. Since also considering the Asha 205 is of a latest date release of 2012 compared to the Chat 322 of 2010 which means the Asha is up to date in regards to technology improvements.
I will compare the Nokia Asha 205 with the Alcatel OT-301 which is the
phone I own.
1. The Nokia Asha 205 has a dual SIM capability while the Alcatel OT –
301 only supports one SIM card. This means with the Nokia you can have
one phone holding both the business and friends/ family lines. No need
to have 2 phones bulging from your pocket. Also with the Nokia Asha
205 you use the Sim Hot Swap to seamlessly interchange between SIM
cards, with the Alcatel you have to do it manually ; remove the
battery , insert the new SIM card, reset the time.. its just too
hectic.
2. The Nokia Asha 205 has a dedicated Facebook button. To access
Facebook on the Alcatel you have to open the browser, type the
address, log in ..The whole process makes it sometimes preferable to
wait until you get to a computer by which time you will have missed
much. With the Nokia Asha 205 you don’t miss any update. Not to forget
the very easy access to Gmail, Hotmail, Yahoo and direct mail.
3. Both the Nokia Asha 205 and Alcatel OT -301 have FM radios. But
the Asha 205 has the extra advantage of being able to record as the
radio plays. Thus one can archive great programs or better still
record a program to listen later. Thus in those moments you are torn
between a good program on television and an equally good one on radio
the Nokia Asha 205 comes to the rescue.
4. The Nokia Asha 205 comes with a feature to download 40 EA games,
while the Alcatel 301 only has 2 games. Surprise and discovery
contribute largely to making any game enjoyable. With only 2 simple
games the element of discovery is quickly diminished in the Alcatel
301. One conquers all the levels and there is nothing forward to look
for. With 40 games the Nokia Asha 205 provides almost an endless
source of discovery, adrenaline and entertainment.
5. The internal memory of the Nokia Asha 205 is 64mb,implying even
before inserting a memory card there is room to store quite a high
number of files. Compare that with the 0.4mb internal memory of the
Alcatel OT 301. Still the Nokia Asha 205 can hold a memory card of
32GB . The Alcatel can only with a 2GB memory card. The Nokia Asha 205
can thus can hold much more data.
6.With The Nokia Xpress Browser browsing the internet with the Nokia
Asha 205 is two times faster and 85 % cheaper. Still the browser
supports many languages like HTML, XHTML, Javascript 1.8 and also
Adobe Flash Lite. All these give a richer experience when browsing .
You are even able to comfortably view videos and other animations. The
Alcatel OT 301 has only a basic browser which supports GPRS, meaning
the browsing is slower and more expensive. Also with the Alcatel you
can access only very basic mobile websites.
I could go on and on about the differences. For instance the Nokia
Asha 205 has bluetooth which is very easy to use for sharing files.The
Alcatel OT 301 doesn’t have bluetooth, and the only way to share
information is by manually interchanging memory cards. The Nokia Asha
205 has a bigger screen and better resolution as compared to the
Alcatel OT 301. The Nokia Asha 205 also has a longer lasting battery.
Although the Nokia Asha 205 at 94g and 13mm is relatively lighter and
thinner than most phones, when compared to the Alcatel OT 310 it is
thicker and heavier. The Alcatel weighs 76g and is 11.9mm.However that
is a minor shortcoming which Nokia can work on.
All in all the Nokia Asha 205 is a superior phone for connecting,
business and fun. A phone that has everything a modern phone user
would need but done in a friendly easy to use manner. The Nokia Asha
205 is tops.
Difference between Nokia Asha 205 and Nokia 111
Nokia Asha 205 offers one-click access to the Facebook
application while for Nokia 111 there are many steps to go through before
accessing facebook.
Nokia Asha 205 has a qwerty keyboard while Nokia 111 doesn’t.
Comparison between Nokia Asha 205 and Techno 3212
Nokia Asha 205’s
qwerty keyboard makes it easier for you to text and text right unlike the
alphabetically arrayed keys of the Techno 3212, which even by using the t9,gets
wrong words in the text.
Nokia Asha 205 is user friendly unlike Techno 3212 when it
comes to the keyboard. With soft keys that do not need hard pressing that hurts
the fingers like those of techno.
Nokia Asha 205’s screen resolution is superb and does not
strain the eyes for the user to read from it unlike that of the Techno 3212.
Well the very superb Nokia Asha has a dedicated Facebook button
that enables the user to access Facebook and share and access the socializing freedom,
which it’s opponent doesn’t. This makes it difficult to join the Facebook
social media since you have to physically write in your address and log in which
can prove difficult.
When it comes to Techno 3212, it has 2-3 games which can
become a bore unlike those of Asha 205.Offering 40 free games. These can keep
the user entertained and it gives the user a chance to download their favorite
and most interesting games.
While Nokia Asha 205 has a radio that enables a listener to
record his favorite songs and stations. This saves one from the process of receiving
information, songs via Bluetooth. Techno 3212 doesn’t enable recording which is
a plus since it’s time saving and hustle free. What I mean is one doesn’t have
to go finding songs from pals.
Nokia Asha 205 dual Sim which allows for easy access of
contacts and the separation of business contacts from the social contacts, it
also allows for hot Sim swap which is so convenient for the user in order to
avoid disruption .Now, the techno 3212 has the dual Sim option though it doesn’t
have the hot Sim swapping. That makes the Nokia Asha 205 the best.
Techno 3212 doesn’t have internet powers which limit the user
from socializing through Facebook, twitter and learning more on Google. The
Nokia Asha 205 allows for all that and more plus the Xpress browser that is
2times faster and 85%cheaper, makes it easier and very pocket friendly. It lets
one to enjoy all the internet services and making downloads even fun and fast.
Finally, while the Nokia Asha 205 has a video taking, helping
one capture live lovely moments, the Techno 3212 doesn’t allow for that.
In addition to all that, Nokia Asha 205 has a manageable
size which can fit comfortable in a pocket and easy to manage when at hand. It’s
the perfect phone for me. With its magnificent nature, it will enable me to
carry out so much and achieve so much more .May it be business-wise or social wise.
I hope to get a hold of this one. Thank you in advance for considering me
