Nokia Asha 501 is a mobile phone from the budget Nokia Asha series, announced by Nokia on 9 May 2013 in India, and released on 24 June 2013. The device was classified at the time by Nokia as a "Full Touch" smartphone. The phone is available in either single- or dual SIM configurations and its suggested price was US $99 before taxes and subsidies.
The Asha 501 was the first device built on Nokia Asha platform, a new software platform descended from Series 40, with a user interface similar to MeeGo on Nokia N9. The Asha 501 includes Bluetooth and Wi-Fi, but no 3G connectivity, relying on EDGE and GPRS (2.75G) for cellular networking. The phone has been noted for its user-friendliness and a battery with long talk and standby times. It has been called "tiny" by some due to its size, being one of the smallest Nokia ever produced.
