The Nokia Asha 501 is compact and easy to use. It comes in fun, bright colors. But The low-resolution screen and 3-megapixel camera disappoint.
The Nokia Asha 501 is worth getting if you want a small, simple, colorful feature phone.
They do seem to take the 501 in context in this one, because they use phrases like "remember it’s just a budget phone."
Still, just 6/10? Judging by the review, they seemed to have a good experience with the phone. It’s like their scoring is based only on the spec sheet, not the feel of the hardware and the overall experience. Therefore, budget phones can only get scores from 1 to 7.
PhoneArena should split their reviews in two categories: budget phones and high-end ones. That way, budget phones can get 10/10 without being compared to high end phones.
