Nokia is getting ready to officially announce its new devices within a few hours. At Nokia World this year, the whole world is waiting in anticipation to see Windows Phone powered devices come of age and adopt modern novelties such as 1080p panels and quad-core processors. If you haven’t figured it out, we are talking about the Lumia 1520, but that is a different story.
Now we are talking about Nokia’s entry-level Asha lineup which will get two new additions, both full-touch devices. The Asha 503 will feature the same 3.2-inch QVGA display having a 320 x 240 pixels resolution, but is said to come with a 5-megapixel rear camera accompanied by an LED flash, making it the most advanced camera on any Asha phone yet. Fully capable of expanding its storage with a micro SD card slot and packing a 1200 mAh battery, it is quite a remarkable addition to the Asha family indeed. While the Asha 503 will support 3G, the Asha 502 will have to do without it. Dimensionally, both phones will fit comfortably in anybody’s palm: 102.55 mm x 60.55 x 11.5 mm with a weight of 112 grams.
The new devices are expected to be announced at Nokia World. Expect them to be priced under a $100 ( £62 ), making them a value proposition, especially when you consider that apps like Whatsapp and games such as Plants vs. Zombies are making their way to the platform.

I suppose they’re OK for 1st time smartphone users but 3.2″ 320 x 240 seems a little mean in this day & age. Seriously, I’m not a fan of big screen and big phones but this seems downright stingy even for it’s reasonable price. 2 years ago it would’ve been a different story.
