Nokia 301 announced: good camera on a feature phone

The Nokia 301 was just unveiled at MWC and it is an exciting budget phone - one of very few that actually feature a relatively good, ‘smart’ camera and 3.5G HSPA connectivity.

The Nokia 301 is based on the Nokia Series 40 platform and features a 2.4-inch display with a traditional alphanumeric keypad.

The Nokia 301 features a 3.2-megapixel camera allowing for a ton of editing and sharing options, including panorama for wide-angle and group shots. It also has a five-image burst shot mode, and voice-guided self-portrait mode.

Good news is you can stream YouTube videos on the Nokia 301 and apps like Facebook, Twitter and Whatsapp are also on board.

The Nokia 301 will be priced at around $85 (€65), and will arrive in both single and dual-SIM models. Battery life is great on the single-SIM one with talk time of “up to” 20 hours.

Of course, it will be colorful - arriving in cyan, yellow, magenta, black and white. The 301 will land in Q2 2013 with initial availability in over 120 countries in Africa, Asia-Pacific, Europe, India, Middle East and Latin America.
