Verdict

The Microsoft Lumia 550 experiments in a low budget smartphones segment and with this device it does a decent job by bringing good overall features. However, comparing the device with some Android phones in the same budget, it is not that powerful. It could have done with better front camera and a 2GB RAM. To sum up, this device would please only the consumers who prefer Windows operating system.

A good device for Windows lover

The Capacitive touchscreen phone measures 9.9mm around the waist and weighs 141.9 grams which make it slim and light. The device is available in Black and White colours.

It is backed by 1GB RAM which collaborates with the processor to make sure the device functions up to its potential. The smartphone is powered by Windows 10 operating system, the latest version of Windows.

Camera and Storage

The device is stacked with a 5MP main camera which lets you capture your favourite moments. For selfies and video calling, it sports a 2MP front camera. The camera comes with inbuilt features like Face detection, Geo tagging, High Dynamic Range mode (HDR) and Touch to focus. The Lumia 550 houses an inbuilt memory of 8GB which can further be expanded up to 200GB via an external microSD card.
