[How To] Major Software update for Nokia Asha 305, 306, 308 and 310

Nokia is going to bring a major software for all it Asha smartphones. Nokia brings such updates very rarely (for Non-Lumina devices) but it is good to see that they are improving in this field too. Nokia is known for trust and one time service. Most of the times Nokia handsets are stuffed with very high quality specs that need not to be changed in a long run even during complete cellphone lifetime.

But now it seems that Nokia wants to let their user taste all latest features of branded technologies. Also they need to come with such regular updates to survive current market successfully. Nokia has an army of developers otherwise it becomes really tough to bring updates for a platform that is not available through open source platform or as a freeware. Let not get to that part. Let we focus on main topic i.e. software update for Nokia Asha smartphone.

Supported devices
Nokia has released this update for most of its Asha series devices which includes:
• Asha 305
• Asha 306
• Asha 308
• Asha 310

So these 4 devices will receive this major software features.

Features
Well talking about the features of this upgrade, then this software update will stuff some high end features like WhatsApp compatibility, mail for exchange facility with improved features, YouTube launcher, improved tweaks, better overall performance etc. So this update is going to touch each and every part of Asha smartphones.

How to
This update is rolled out through OTA and Nokia PC Suit method. OTA method takes time to cover various regions globally. In OTA update, you don’t need to worry about any manual installation. All you need to do is to wait. Once the update will be available in your region, you will get notified through a pop-up. After this, you will be asked to follow some onscreen intrusions which at the last will leave you with updated software. You need to carry out OTA method in presence of strong internet connection like Wi-Fi etc. If you try it in presence of normal 2G network then you will end up with frustration only.

Nokia PC Suit method is a manual method which requires certain level of tech type knowledge. In this method, you need to flash the updated software package manually. Nokia has given step by step detail on their official portal. You can read that from here.

According to me, if you are not aware of technical terms then you should wait for OTA update as it is easy and error free. Manual update can even harm your Asha smartphone to major level.
