Microsoft Lumia 550 details
It is impossible to deny Microsoft’s influential position in the market for entry-level smartphones in recent years. The company has always managed to offer compelling budget packages at unbeatable prices.
While no success has ever been achieved for a low-end smartphone, Microsoft seems to have perfected the formula. A lightweight and efficient operating system like Windows Phone has certainly helped. Microsoft devices can often meet and exceed the speed and performance of their Android counterparts with less processing power and memory.
However, the Microsoft Lumia 550 is the first low-cost smartphone running Windows 10. It marks a new milestone in the mobile software for the Redmond company and a step towards convergence of the platform. Although this is too important a step for the Microsoft Lumia 550, even without the support of Continuum, the phone does not lack assets.
The Microsoft Lumia 550 is the cheapest Windows 10 device in the current Lumia series and comes with a 5-inch QHD display. The device is equipped with the necessary hardware to allow users to enjoy a smooth Windows 10 environment.
The smartphone has a 5-inch QHD screen (960×540 pixels) and comes with a Gorilla Glass 3 protection on the top for a longer life. The screen has a pixel density of 221 PPI, which is expected from a device in this price range.
The Lumia 550 comes with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 210 MSMM8909 chipset, which features a 1GHz Cortex-A7 quad-core processor. An Adreno 304 GPU is located next to the processor to ensure smooth graphics on the device. The device also has 1GB of RAM, giving users a flawless interface.
The device is equipped with a 1905 mAh Li-Po battery that contains enough juice to keep it running all day. The smartphone comes with a 2 megapixel front camera with a 5 megapixel rear view camera. The main camera can take pictures with a resolution of up to 2592×1936 and has additional features such as LED flash and auto focus. It allows video recording with 480p at 30 fps. The front camera could be a disappointment for selfie lovers, but it is useful for video calling.
The smartphone offers many multimedia storage options thanks to the 8 GB of built-in memory. However, a microSD card present in the device allows a larger memory expansion of up to 32 GB. The connectivity options on the device are plentiful. The 3G compatible device ships with GPS, GLONOSS, Bluteooth 4.0, Wi-Fi 802.11b / g / n, Access Point, DLNA and microUSB 2.0 port.
