The HMD Asha 305 Pro will be available in two colors, and according to reports, it may arrive in other markets in the coming weeks. Perhaps most importantly, this device has also received an IP52 rating, so you can even put it in water (for a short time, for a small wash). In July, HMD Global introduced the Asha 305 in the Philippines, which it positions as a “lite smartphone”, thus promising more apps and smart features compared to classic push-button devices, but at the same time remaining at entry-level hardware and a removable battery.
The heart of the phone is the Unisoc T137, accompanied by 2 GB of RAM and 16 GB of storage. On the front, a 5-inch LCD works with a resolution of 480 × 854 pixels. The cameras are not going to save the world either, there is a 2-megapixel sensor on the back with an LED flash, and on the front there is also 2 megapixels for selfies and video calls. A removable 2500 mAh battery is responsible for the power supply, which the manufacturer promises up to 32 hours of standby time. In addition to the battery, the box also includes a USB-C cable and charger. In the Philippines, that is.
It runs on Pulse OS, which is based on AOSP Android, and according to HMD, gives access to more than 100 selected applications. The list also includes lightweight versions such as Facebook Lite, Instagram Lite, TikTok Lite, as well as WhatsApp and YouTube. The connectivity list is correct for the entry level: dual SIM 4G, Wi-Fi, GPS, Bluetooth 4.2 and a 3.5 mm jack are also on the list. It is also worth noting that the HMD Asha 305 Lite device is already available for purchase in several countries in Asia, such as the Philippines or Malaysia.
