Interface
Although it is said as Smartphone lite, but Asha was still using the Nokia s40 305, so this phone can not do multitasking, only a few applications (music, radio) that can be minimized.

Asha unfortunate Nokia 305 only supports dual GSM networks (900/1800) without the 3G support, so you can not enjoy real mobile internet speeds. Nokia Asha 305 also does not support WiFi connectivity for surfing the internet so you have to rely on internet connectivity service you use. Even so this phone has Bluetooth v2.1, microUSB v2.0. For external memory, the packet is given 2GB microSD memory card expandable up to 32GB capacity.
Although Nokia Asha 305 has a standard 2.0 mm charger port, but you do not rule out filling the battery via micro USB port. But we feel for filling via micro USB takes a longer time.
The phone supports two GSM sim cards are active simultaneously. You can make arrangements how to use the sim card for a particular activity.
Browser
Nokia said in Asha browser 305 has the ability to compress up to 85% with proxy technology, making it more efficient quota and pages can be opened lighter. These technologies have an algorithm that can sort out any contents that can be discarded and what can be used. When we open the site proved teknoup.com full version, the page can be opened smoothly without any problems. Unfortunately, this browser is still not able to perform such multitab Opera browser. Because belom supports playback of Flash content, you can not play / stream video from YouTube website.
Battery
Asha 305 equipped with a Lithium Ion battery type BL-4U 1110 mAh capacity. It said the battery in this phone is able to support up to 528 hours standby and talk time of up to 14 hours. During our review process, the battery 305 Asha calculated to accompany you to 1-2 days even in conditions of two sim cards active simultaneously. This might be because there is no support for 3G signals so that more efficient battery.
Conclusion
Seen the price is priced around 800 thousand, Nokia Asha has 305 selling points such as fashionable designs with a touch screen, dual sim GSM as well as the ability to swap easy (slot 2 only) are active simultaneously. The performance of this phone is good, we did not feel the lag-lag when operating it. Especially in the Maps application software you are given enough help to orientate, download songs for free, and for the entertainment you are given 40 free games from EA. We think the title'' Lite'' suitable Smartphone is given to Asha 305 because although not a smartphone, but its ability is above the other regular cell phones.
