Nokia has launched another entry-level handset in the Indian handset
market - Nokia 114. It is a dual-SIM handset, which comes with Nokia's
Easy Swap technology. It will be available in market at a best buy price
of Rs. 2,549.
Nokia 114 comes with 1.8-inch (4.57 cm) QVGA colour display. It has a 1020mAh battery, which according
to the company gives 10 hours of talk-time and 637 hours of standby
time. There is a 0.3-megapixel rear camera on board. It supports up to
32GB of external storage.
The handset comes with cloud-accelerated
Nokia Xpress browser, which Nokia claims to offer 85 percent more
efficient mobile browsing. Also popular social networking apps such as
Facebook and Twitter come pre-loaded on this handset. One can also
download games and utility applications on this handset through Nokia
Store. For connectivity, this handset supports Bluetooth.
Commenting
on the Nokia 114 launch, V. Ramnath, Director of Sales, Nokia India
said, "The new Nokia 114 offers a great, affordable browsing experience
for hyper-social consumers who want instant Facebook and Twitter access,
as well as to stay connected on-the-go. This unique device supports
24/7 connectivity through faster Internet access with the Nokia Xpress
Browser, resulting in a superior Internet experience for these price
points".
A couple of months back Nokia had also announced a single
SIM variant of this handset, Nokia 109. However, as of now there is no
news in regards to when this device will be available in India and at
what price.
The Finnish handset maker was once an undisputed
leader in the Indian handset market. However the competition has
intensified in the entry level segment with the coming of Indian handset
makers such as Spice, Karbonn, Micromax et al. In 2012 Nokia had
launched several handsets in the Asha Series including Nokia Asha 200,
Nokia Asha 305 and Nokia Asha 205 to regain its lost position in the
market.
