Smartphone, allerdings mit proprietärem Betriebssystem Series 40 Asha und starken Einschränkungen. Eher als Handy mit erweiterten Funktionen zu sehen.

Wie viel Smartphone steckt letzten Endes noch im Nokia Asha 311? Leider nicht mehr sehr viel. Das Gerät erscheint im Alltag eher wie ein „normales“ Telefon, das zusätzlich über eine Anbindung zum Internet verfügt und mit (wenig brauchbaren) Apps erweitert werden kann. Vor allem das Display macht einem größeren Vergnügen den Gar aus. ...

Considering the excellent Huawei Ascend G300 and Vodafone Smart 2 can be picked up for as much as £40 less, the Nokia Asha 311 falls a bit too far short, as while it is a good feature-phone it is saddled with an unrealistic price tag.

For an extra £20 the Asha 311 throws in quite a few advantages over the cheaper 306, with a better screen, faster processing power and 3G connectivity -- if you must have a budget feature phone rather than an Android, it's worth the extra.

We really didn’t expect all that much from the Nokia Asha 311. After all, the other Asha handsets that we've looked at have been pretty mediocre. However, despite some weaknesses, such as the lack of GPS and basic web browser, it's a surprisingly strong feature phone, quite speedy to use, has a pretty intuitive user interface and long battery life. Still, as with a lot of recent Nokia handsets, when put next to the likes of the Huawei Ascend G300 it looks very basic, as that model has a much larger screen, GPS and the infinitely superior Android web browser.
