Nokia unveils two new sub-$50, social media-enhanced dual SIM phones with 1.8″ display, VGA camera- Europe and Asia only
Nokia this
morning introduced two
new low-cost phones, the Nokia
110 and Nokia
112, in an effort to appeal to “young, urban consumers” who can’t
really afford high-end smartphones. See product videos and pictures below.
The phones, which are priced 35 euros (roughly $45) and 38 euros
(nearly $50) respectively, come with a 1.8″ display, a 0.3 megapixels VGA
camera, support for up to 32GB of external memory and Bluetooth, and dual SIM
capability.
The Nokia 110 will also be
available as single-SIM versions, dubbed Nokia 111 and Nokia 113, with this
last one available in Europe and Eurasia only.
The devices run Nokia’s S40 OS and come with a custom Internet
browser (aptly named Nokia Browser) that can compress websites much like
Opera’s mobile browser can. Both are available in 4 different colors.
Designed and priced to lure in the ‘next billion’, as Nokia
likes to call its target audience for feature phones, the Nokia 110 and Nokia
112 enable users to communicate across Facebook, Twitter and other social
networks. The latter device even comes with eBuddy‘s IM
software installed out of the box.
In the coming months, Nokia says both phones will bring 40 EA
games like Tetris, Bejeweled and Need for Speed for free (the company says the
value is 75 euros).
So how are the Nokia 110 and Nokia 112 different from each
other? Well, Nokia points out that the designs are slightly different and that
the Nokia 110 offers about 10.5 hours of talk time from a charged battery,
while the Nokia 112 offers 14 hours.
Both phones are expected to start shipping in the third quarter
of 2012. Don't be surprised to see this phones in Kenya for this is there kind of bed so stop hoping for a Lumia anytime soon
