better than the Nokia Asha 501 and a good basic touch phone
Shekar Raja (May 14, 2014)
on Gadgets 360
The Nokia Asha 502 an upgraded 501 is no doubt a better option. This dual SIM handset sports a 3 inch screen and sails on Nokia Asha platform 1.1. It is priced at under Rs. 5,900 just a little more than the Nokia Asha 501.
Design, Display and OS
The Nokia Asha 502 comes with a completely new design, looks much better than its predecessor the Asha 501. On a closer look you will find that there is an additional layer for transparent plastic that covers up the phone. It does give an elegant, classy and unique look. Build quality and finishing is very good.The Nokia 501 had curvy edges whereas the 502 edges are less curvy. It seems as if Nokia has placed a less curvy transparent shell over the 501. The 502 however is slimmer than the 501 The single navigation button has been replaced with a touch button as compared to 501 that comes with a physical button.The touchscreen display is 3 inches supporting resolution of 320240 pixels. Touch is smooth and responsive, supports orientation and double-tap to wake up. There are two sensors accelerometer and proximity. Screen supports 2 point multi touch.
Performance
There are dual SIM slots with dual standby mode, you need micro SIMs. Other features are Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. This handset supports 2G (GPRS/EDGE); 3G is not supported. 502 runs on Nokia Asha software platform 1.1 with 64MB memory.Performance is good. There is 64MB memory and micro SD card support of up to 32GB. It is a basic budget phone so don?t expect too much out of it. The handset does support social sites; Facebook and Twitter apps come pre-installed. There are few basic games that also come pre-installed.
Camera
There is only one camera placed on the rear side. It is 5MP fixed focus with LED flash support. The camera quality no doubt is better than as seen on the 501 model
The video recording quality (320240 pixels) is no good.
Others
The sound is loud and clear. 1080p and 720p video playback is not supported. It is a bit difficult opening up the back cover as compared with 501. The Asha 502 screen is not scratch resistant; mild scratches are clearly visible. OTA (Over the Air) software updates are supported. There is built in FM Radio.
Battery
The 1010 mAh BL-5A battery according to Nokia gives talk-time of up to 13 hours. You can play music MP3?s for up to 40 hours.
Verdict
Look wise the Nokia Asha 502 looks much better than its predecessor. The price difference between these two handsets is approx Rs. 1000. Asha 502 comes with 5MP FF camera that does a reasonable job when it comes to still photography.If you are planning to get a basic phone with touch it is definitely a better option as compared to the Nokia 501.

Smart phone for a smart price!

The Nokia Asha 502 is a cool phone with a neat look. Even though it does not pack the features like other android phones in the same price range, its specs are pretty decent.
As usual, Nokia's build quality is superb. I didn't face any sort of performance issues till now. All the preloaded apps are useful and run efficiently. Camera and battery backup are way better than phones in similar class.

Asha 502 ? A Trendy Device
Flipkart Customer (Mar 29, 2019)
on Flipkart
"Those which glitter are not always gold! True but not always especially when it comes to my new Nokia handset ? Asha 502. Not a size zero figure and a little bit curve on four ends demands my attention. Bright colours have given it a unique identity and that uniqueness is evident in every aspect of design on my new handset. I love its finishing ? the way black front nearly meets the rear part in bright colour or traditional palette, with sleek metallic shine looking like ?LoC? or Line of Control between them.
I also like the thin black lines running around the sides as it adds elegance to overall appeal of new Nokia launch. The phone is not an obese kid and I don?t feel any problem while carrying it with me. However, that is not to say it lacks durability. In fact, I don?t have any doubt that its strong structure will survive the wear and tear of time. If it looks good, it performs well on several fronts, which I least expected of it. Its design caught my eyes and now I am bowled by its performance.
The stylish model features a 7.62cm display screen, offering pretty enough space to reveal considerable amount of details. Both photographs and videos look livelier on my device as it features a HighColor display along with a high pixel density. The workable area, i.e. the touch screen responds well, at least my one-time knocking is enough for it to act immediately. The beauty is transparently veiled in a crystal clear shell and so my fingers don?t produce any prints or scratches there.
Dual SIM, for me, is a cost-excellent option. I swap the cards to get the best offer. The cards are high on memory power and so don?t lose setting information of five (maximum) SIMs. So swapping feels a lot easy and quick process. A lot of add-ons are at play here to give me an ultimate experience of browsing, social networking and snapshooting. With one swipe, I can get more and share more with others too.
With Fastlane thrown in, I can have a quick view of what I have recently posted on my Facebook and tweeted. I can see all the recent FB updates along with the next in my calendar. All these are done with a single swipe and come up on a single screen. Moreover, I can also take a snapshot view of the likes and comments on my FB posts and photos. Due to smart and speedy connection, I can get to do all these within a few minutes on the clock. That takes my joy of social networking a few steps further.
Browsing feels a great experience with the Nokia Xpress Browser. Faster browsing, more data saving ? that?s what I enjoy on Asha 502. Websites open quickly and navigation is quick and easy on sensitive touchscreen interface. And when it comes to searching trendy, new information on the internet, Nokia Xpress Now app is there to help me out. With Asha 502, it is now easy for me to step into the demanding field of photography. Adding a customize touch feels like a child?s play with this new Nokia touch mobile. I touch to take photos and then swipe again to share those with my friends on FB.

Enjoy More Entertainment with Asha 502
Flipkart Customer (Mar 27, 2019)
on Flipkart
"If look is a deciding factor, I am ready to give my Nokia Asha 502 full marks! Not only has it got a distinct look but its youthful appeal and flawless design are also appealing which I think, could be the major highlight of Asha 502.
I want to get into the depth of the design because it is what caught my attention at first. The plastic back is coloured trendy and bold, which is the most magical aspect of design, I think. It is not of giant size, instead very small in terms of length. However, the advantage of its being small is I don?t feel any problem while carrying it in my hand for a long time. Display screen, which is nearly 3 inches, features a lot of workable area to run the fingers on. The model feels strong and durable. Finishing is perfect and slightly curved corners on a masculine frame are an added attraction for me.
The unique look comes with a prominent outer shell whereas Corning Gorilla Glass gives me some relief that display will be properly taken care of. Capacitive Multipoint-Touch screen features display resolution of QVGA (320 x 240) as well as HighColor (18-bit/262k). These along with LCD technology have made my viewing experience more than excellent. In addition, Brightness control, Curved display, Orientation sensor, Screen double tap, Low power mode allow for alteration with default settings for a better viewing experience.
Asha 502 has an expressive interface which ensures enhanced interactivity even for the tech-shy people just like me. The intuitive homescreen features a traditional app launcher and Fastlane. The later is a wonderful app which was also present in previous Asha edition, 501. However, 502 version offers a more compact and high-end Fastlane which allows me to engage with Facebook, Twitter, Line, LinkedIn, Whatsapp and many more apps. That?s a good way to stay in touch with my friends online.
Fastlane also keeps a track of my recent FB and Twitter activities and shows them on a single screen. I can now post photos, messages on FB through Fastlane. Taking photos like an ace photographer is no longer a difficult task for me as Asha 502 comes with a 5MP camera which is fitted with LED flash and 32mm focal length. In fact, I get a promising photography experience with my Nokia handset. With a single swipe, I can take snaps. Due to a pack of camera add-ons, I can control the final appearance of snapshots. Those photos can be uploaded to my FB.
Asha 502 is a dual-SIM device. It gives me an option to make the most affordable choice from the available offers. The device can save settings of several SIMs (5 is the max margin) and I am always done with swapping work very easily and very quickly. My browsing experience with Nokia Xpress Browser is wonderfully different. Not only is it fast but also super smart. There is another app, called Nokia Xpress New, which supports me in my search for new and informative contents.
"One of the best of nokia

hi Guys "Asha 502 is available in a myriad of bold colours ? red, cyan, yellow, green, blue. In addition, black and white versions have also arrived in the market.
Sporting a cool yet smart look, the gadget caught my fancy due to its display of distinct design. This new gadget of mine comes with a sturdy crystal clear casing made from plastic.
Dual SIM offer is not new on Nokia handset. Just like 501, a summer arrival from Nokia, this version also packs in easily swappable double SIM scheme.
My interest in photography has reached a new high since arrival of Asha 502. It has landed with a strong backing of a 5MP camera, 32mm focal length, digital zoom and LED flash. A single touch on intuitive touchscreen transports me to the amazing world of photo shooting where I can not only click but also manoeuvre with the default settings for more creative punch.
Asha 502 also features Fastlane and Nokia Xpress Browser. If I ever need to check my recent updates, posts or tweets, I can do it with the help of Nokia Xpress Browser. Apart from data saving, it also brings me fast connection and quality browsing experience.
Fastlane enables me to engage with FB and Twitter and also check my recent posts and updates there.

Asha 502 ?A pocket Friendly Device For all
Flipkart Customer (Mar 28, 2019)
on Flipkart
Hi Everybody"In addition to white and black, Asha 502 also comes in beautifully bold colours like red, green, cyan, yellow etc. Housing a RAM, a microSD card that can stretch the maximum memory limit to 32GB, Dual SIM option under the lid, the handset also packs in several new software features to make time spending with it more pleasant an experience for me.
A good package for me on such a comfortable price level! It is not only its unique and striking design in plastic housing that draws my admiration, but the packed-in features also feel much handy.
What I can?t do on Nokia Xpress Browser? I can get my data saved without being forced to make compromise with high speed. I can also save a great deal of time while searching for the latest data, obviously Nokia Xpress Now app is there to help me out.
To stay in touch with friends, I make use of Fastlane. It links me to Facebook, Tweeter, LinkedIn and several other sites. I can also check the new updates, posts, comments and likes, tweets and app use in recent time on a single screen.
Capturing photos (both still and video) has never been such easier and pure joy. I swipe, I snap and I share......within just a few minutes. To make things more perfect, there are settings alteration features to make a good use of.

Asha 502 -A Trendy Device
Flipkart Customer (Mar 28, 2019)
on Flipkart
hi Guys "?Unexpectedly awesome? is what I will say if I?m asked to sum up my experience with Nokia Asha 502. It is not that I did not expect a new, stunning and more feature-dense handset from Nokia, still what the brand has done with this pocket-size, portable gadget leaves me spell bound.
To start with, I like its touchscreen interface apart from stand-out build with outer plastic shell and trendy, vibrant colours. The design is superbly unique. Dual SIM support allows for saving on expenses.
Spending time with Nokia Xpress Browser feels great. There is no connection snag and I discover the latest contents more quickly, surely Nokia Xpress Now app can claim credit for that.
Images, due to high resolution factor, look exceptionally crunchy and bright. Another competitive feature is a 5MP camera which has revitalized my penchant for photography. The rear-camera is teamed with 32mm of focal length, LED flash, auto-sensor, 4x digital zoom, Still image editor and other amazing features for default settings alteration to empower me to play with my shooting hobby.
Photo shooting is made much easier with a swipe and I can also post these photos to update my Facebook account quickly.
Fastlane helps me play with playback though I don?t need to open up music app for that purpose. The same app also lets me take a quick glance over the posts, comments, tweets on several social networking sites.

Nokia is at his home ground when they are making budget phones, And Nokia Asha 502 is not a exception either. The phone is awesome given its priced so low. Well you can get an android for this price but the should be willing to compromise on quality.
Pros: Small, Handy, Great touch, Good screen quality, works whataspp, twitter, facebook etc, 5 MP camera with flash, wifi, bluetooth.
Cons: well when i think at the price the phone has everything expect 3G :(
Thumbs up from me.

the flipkart service is just awsome they provided me a refund on my previous purchase that was karbonn A12* which had some technical issue. I ordered this phone for my Mumma on her birthday. she is very much happy with its look and user interface. I would not like to talk about its technical side as my mom doesnt need other functions. but the almost square size phone looks beautiful in hands and operates ok

Asha 502 ? Style & Function Makes It Perfect
Flipkart Customer (Mar 29, 2019)
on Flipkart
"I didn?t go gaga over it just because Asha 502 exhibits a stylish and stand-apart look. Nokia promised so many in times of its launch that I could not help but open my wallet for it.
The gadget comes in a variety of enticing colours and features a strong, prominent plastic housing on the outer front.
Asha 502 comes with Dual SIM. That allows me to enjoy the best from the flowing offers. The handset hammers settings of five SIMs in memory, so swapping requires me to spend just a few minutes.
Photography is my favourite hobby. Whenever I get time, I lay my hands on shutter. But now I am running my finger on the touchscreen of Asha 502 to activate the camera app. It even allows me to take exciting photos with only the basic features. These days, I am also making a parade of my creative flair on Facebook, thanks this Asha edition allows me to do so.
Fastlane gives out details about my recent updates, messages, posts on FB, tweets on Twitter, use of several apps including multimedia features etc. Nokia Xpress Browser rounds off my experience with Asha 502. It saves my data, connects to internet quickly and keeps me entertained with high-speed internet surfing experience.

Nokia Asha 502 ? stylish,and Trendious Having Nice Features
Flipkart Customer (Mar 29, 2019)
on Flipkart
"So often I have heard my friends claiming that their phones offer what should be called ?height of browsing experience?. But what was that? I was yet to experience it. I used to snub them or laugh in my sleeve as I thought a cell was never the right platform to surf on. Now I have realized that I was completely wrong.
Nokia Asha 502 has forced me to change my view about cellular browsing. For me, the highlight of Nokia Xpress Browser is its high speed. It feels very irritating when I have to wait for long after typing URL and hitting enter. But I never had that worst experience on this Asha version. It not only lets me browse fast but also saves data. So I don?t have to sacrifice a lot of data to experience fast and quality browsing. If and whenever I need new information and trending content, I make a good use of Nokia Xpress Now app and everything is plated within a minute.
Asha 502 is a pure nugget of ?beauty and bold?. Its build quality is ?great? in a word and I am sure, mine will continue batting for years to come. It is portable (weighs only 100gm). For me, the most fascinating part of its design is its uniqueness. It is just like a one-piece beauty and I can?t remember any old or new model, the style of which it has imitated. Asha 502 is encased in a clear-cut shell and I guess, it is done to increase durability of the device.
Dual SIM offer adds a smart character to Asha 502. It gives me freedom to swap SIM if it proves a saving on my cost. Settings of five SIMs are memorized by the handset, so SIM changing never becomes an issue for me. With digital zoom and 32mm focal length, the 5MP camera of this Asha version has taught me that capturing excellence is not always difficult and I can do it too with a little help of built-in apps. Image quality is superb and with other embedded advanced add-ons, I can take liberty with my clicks. And with just one touch on homescreen, I am ready to shoot. Asha 502 also gives me an option to post those photos on Facebook.
More apps and more add-ons ? that is what my Asha 502 is all about. There are several built-in apps and for the rest which need a download, the interface provides a good support. Fastlane is one such embedded app that features multi-tasking activity. In addition to showing my recent posts, updates, messages on FB, comments on Twitter as well as engagement with other multimedia apps, Fastlane also allows me to directly dash off messages and play with music playback without even requiring me to collect support from the music app.
I do think, Nokia has played well with power management division. Battery capacity of 1010 mAh offers standby time for 24 days. Maximum audio playback time extends to 42.3 hours whereas optimum video playback time is 12 hours. I get talk time of 13.7 hours and net browsing experience for long 16.8 hours.

Its good and simple...It lacks some basic features like theft detector, flashlight(even if downloaded and installed its not working),call blocking,scheduling sms,...also games r bad..5 MP camera is not equivalent to 5 MP cameras of other brand phones, but still its great when we compare the price..also very less options in music player like there is no equalizer settings also...people who uses it to chat will find difficult cuz of the small keyboard size..battery life is 1.5 -2 days of medium use..overall its good with small cons like these...

Nokia Asha 502 ? Go, Get & Grab the Features
Flipkart Customer (Mar 29, 2019)
on Flipkart
"I am net-addict. Whenever I manage some time to relax, I get busy with surfing internet. High-speed connection is a priority for me and being a voracious reader, I almost guzzle up every piece of new information that I get to collect from across the internet. And now on my new Nokia device, browsing experience is no longer the same. It has become faster, better and smarter. Nokia Xpress Browser has brought the ultimate browsing experience for people like me. And there is Nokia Xpress Now App which helps me get what I want ? new, trendy content from the web world.
?Mini Champion?, yes Asha 502 is just like that for me. Its diminutive feature belies its power though the small figure too exudes a smart and sporty look. The new purchase never looks like a ?copy & paste? work with little twist but flaunts a unique frame and collection of features which I strongly believe, are way different from others in the market. Bold colour in combination with strong frame lends it a unique identity. A palette of both trend and tradition caught my eyes. I went with the green but red, cyan, yellow and even most common find black and white are also there to add a new look to the frame.
7.62cm touchscreen is capacitive and provides plenty of room for clear and bright images. It is sheltered behind a protective crystal-clear glass, a great competitive feature for what I have purchased within a very moderate price range. High pixel density attributes to excellent image quality, no matter whether I am browsing or just having a look at already downloaded images. I am also allowed to adjust images, thanks to the brightness control and other accessories. With Asha 502, I have learned how to make a good use of SIM card offers. Double SIM option enables me to swap the SIM in no time as it saves the setting of up to five SIMs.
Social networking on mobile device is an ?in? power though not a new character. Asha 502 has presented this option with other features along with Fastlane which keeps a constant watch on my Facebook and Tweeter activities and also memorizes my recent posts, tweets, comments, likes and many more details. I can check for all these whenever I wish so. Recently used apps, contacts and what?s next in my calendar are there for my quick glance. What is more and most important, I don?t need to make a frequent switch of screens as all information is plated on a single screen for quick viewing.
Beauty and features of my Nokia handset will be incomplete without a mention of its powerful camera. 5MP coupled with digital zoom and LED Flash comes handy for an amateur snapshooter like me. An amazing focal length of 32mm assures me that I will get the best of nature?s show-reel as well as subtle moods and fleeting moments all around. Picture-perfect detailing is clear and bright just like what I see in reality and that fascinates me most.
