The Nokia Asha Ice range includes the Asha 500, Asha 502 and Asha 503 smartphones, a range of fantastic and colourful smartphones which combines an inner layer of bold, bright colour surrounded by crystal-clear transparency to add a distinctive icy look to the phone’s design, as well as durability.
The smartphones come in single SIM and Easy Swap dual SIM variants which would allow users switch between SIM cards on the go, to get better tariffs or alternate between SIM cards for SMS, voice and data, without having to turn off the device.
