evLeaks had leaked the images of new & upcoming Nokia’s Asha device which will be having deep software inspirations from Nokia N9’s SWIPE user interface and will possess design inspirations from Lumia series. Although this device will be a mid-range phone but its single button powered user interface will definitely be something great for the customers from developing countries. The device will definitely be supported by 1Ghz + CPU and a 5 Mega Pixels camera with LED flash. Its worth mentioning that the Asha series also supports USB On The Go, wish Nokia will add FM Transmitter on the device to make it more appealing for Nokia N8 users as a secondary mid-range phone ;-).
The phone design looks beautiful and you can say it’s new Nokia N9 Mini version.
New features are as following:
Phone has 3 different screen.
1) Menu Screen
2) Notification Screen.
3) Application screen.
You can switch to different screen with swipe gesture. And it’s not like previous Asha phones, it’s real swipe like we have seen in Nokia N9.
1) Single hardware button at front (ehh, iPhone inspirations too?)
2) User Interface is inspired from N9 in all apps. (like clock, calendar, settings etc.)
3) Screen resolution is 240×320
4) Various controls for Touch Screen Brightness, Double Tap to Unlock.
5) In notification screen you can see notifications from various apps from like Facebook, Twitter etc.
6) Dual SIM, 3G, Wifi etc.
Phone runs so smoothly and fast and also play animations and transitions like we have seen in Lumia Range. The only sad thing is that the phone still do not run multiple apps unlike real Nokia N9 and Symbian Smartphones.
