Nokia has a fairly extensive range of entry-level smartphones, we refer to the family Asha These models have a very simple operating system, basic technical profiles and the necessary connections to be able to connect to social networks or surf the Internet. They are terminals focused on young users who are new to advanced telephony and for those looking for a very cheap device, which is why they are also very successful in emerging markets.The Finnish company promised a software update for some of the models in its Asha line and is now available for download. We tell you all the news that includes the update
First of all you have to specify which models are compatible with the update, the list gathers the most current models with touch screen. Owners of a Nokia Asha 230, Nokia Asha 500, Nokia Asha 501, Nokia Asha 502 and Nokia Asha 503 are in luck because they will be able to install this update, which also It is compatible with the versions with dual SIM or the normal ones The update will arrive via OTA, that is say, wirelessly, throughout the months of April and May, so it may still take a few weeks for the notification to appear. When available, remember to install connected to a WiFi network and with a good battery levelso that the process is not interrupted.
The new version for the Nokia Asha includes improvements for the camera , such as the panoramic photos. The system is the same as the one we know from the Lumia range terminals, it involves performing a pan while holding the phone level to capture a panoramic image. It also has a selfie mode (selfies), designed for terminals that do not have a front camera. What it does is guide us with a voice system so that we frame our face in the center of the image.

On the other hand, this update includes the application Nokia Mix Radio, a platform to listen to music in streaming without paying anything.The service consists of different playlists by artist or genre, but we can also create our own. Nokia Mix Radio has a catalog of millions of songs and logically it works through the Internet. The update also includes support for OneDrive with 7 GB free, the Microsoft cloud (formerly known as SkyDrive), where you can store countless files and then consult them from computer or other device.
The feature FastLane is also updated and now shows the Likesand birthdays of Facebok and Retweets of Tweeter. The company has also included a mode of parental control that allows you to password protect some sections such as the browser and the application store. The update has already been officially released but, as we said, it may still take a while to reach all users.
