As regards storage, finally, each terminal Asha 501 is equipped with an SD card from 4 GB and supports memory cards of larger dimensions. Limited support for connectivity, since you do not go over 2G networks (GSM / EDGE).
The decision not to include support for 3G networks, Nokia says, was dictated by the continuing popularity of this kind of antiquated technology in the markets in which the Asha 501 is intended, in addition to the price. It remains to see the capacity of the new terminal curb the decline of the brand in markets where Asha should instead depopulate, at least according to the intentions of the Finnish corporation.
