Display
Sporting a 3.0-inch TFT screen with a resolution of 240 x 320 pixels, the Nokia Asha 501 provides a basic but functional display. While the screen resolution of approximately 133 pixels per inch does not compete with high-end devices, it is sufficient for the device's intended use, offering clear visibility for reading messages and browsing simple web content. The color reproduction and contrast ratio, measured at 1004:1, ensure decent clarity and vibrancy indoors; however, direct sunlight can hinder visibility, with a sunlight contrast ratio of 2.672:1.
