New Delhi, Sep 19: The under Rs 5,000 market is perhaps the most competitive one when it comes to mobile phones, thanks to the fiercely competitive home grown companies like Micromax and Lava. These companies continue to bring newer and feature rich handsets and now a days Android smartphones for as low as Rs 3.000. However, these desi giants face stiff competition from the leader - Nokia, which is still leading all with a market share of about 60 per cent in India.
Here is such a battle between the newly launched Micromax Ninja 3 and the Nokia Asha 305 which too was launched some months back in India.
Note that the Asha 305 is a feature phone and is available for about Rs 4,500. On the other hand, Ninja 3 is Android smartphone and is available for about same price.
Look:The Nokia Asha 305 is a bar shaped handset and has distinct looks than other handsets in the market. The phone has dimension of 53.8 x 110.3 x 12.8 mm (width, height, thickness) and weighs 98 grams. The phone has sharp curves but has been slammed for its cheap glossy plastic and higher weight.
"The Asha 305 doesn't shine with exquisite design. What shines is the rather cheap gloss of the front panel but you can't hold the cheap finish against a genuinely cheap device," a website said while reviewing this Nokia handset.
Against this, the Micromax Ninja 3 has just 11.5 mm thickness but is wider (62 mm) and bigger (116 mm height). But despite this, the Ninja 3 has just 93.88 grams. Though, the Micromax is not a looker either, the phone has decent looks for this price.
But saying so, the Nokia Asha 305 would be liked by many who likes to have something unique and curvy while the Micromax handset has boring looks.
But the Ninja 3 A57 scores over the Nokia phone when it comes to the display. The Ninja A57 has a 3.5 inch TFT display with 320x480 resolution. On the other hand, the Asha 305 has a small 3 inch screen with 240x400 resolution. Also, the Micromax handset has capacitive touch display while the Nokia phone comes with a resistive screen.
