AnonD-484676, 05 Jan 2016I bought this phone as I use windows 10 on my PC and like it very much. I've used both Android... moreDood that's becoz its in beta id even say alpha, it will be a year before it run like 8.1. Apps is another story, just stick to android or IOS. This Windows 10 is a gamble Microsoft play, but of course your hard earn dollars.

stop comparing windows phones to android phones based on hardware specifications only.
windows os runs equally well with lesser hardware.

Frequent auto-restarts and SIM card PIN prompts. Removing the SIM card PIN protection doesn't solve the autorestart issue. Before these restarts the airplane mode sign usually appears shortly.

It's a good phone but compare to specification the price is too high. I would love gift my this phone if price drops.

AFNAN FAHAD, 06 Jan 2016hi friends this is AFNAN FAHAD i would like to give you some suggestion about microsoft 55... moreBro, if u don't know how to restart or switched off, pick and answer any call, sending messagesetc such a basic, how can you decide which is better or which is worst. First learn how to handle a simple phone then buy a smartphone.

I get this device recently & feeling much better then other mid range cell phones in all ways.
i am happy with its smooth touch, Phone speed, working without hanging in this price tag it is absoluty good phone. Android cell phone in this range & Midrange are always showing hanging problems after few weeks but Windows & Iphone Devices are working smoothly all times. i am using windows phone since last three years with android & Iphone, but i feel the high end devices of Samsung's are excellent but in this price you cant get any other better device then microsoft windows.

Dearest gsmArena.com friends and followers.Some years ago,I wrote a four page complete science mail reasons to Nokia and its fate to nowhere abouts!But since they were riding the victory horses,they never listened and paid attention until finally they ended to endless road of bankruptcy because they thought they knew everything and didn't consider people's intelligence and smart!!I am very sorry to mention but Nokia's successor Microsoft goes the same way that ends to the deadening alleys!!!Lumia 550 in a post mentioned all the qualities and specifications of low midrange smartphone with the price of 130 dollars but here mentioned 202 dollars!!!?Unfortunately good Microsoft in lumia 550 has used the lowest outdated incomplete apps that existed in the market that ends to Nokia's fate!!!?Microsoft has lumia 640 XL LTE as a good midrange with popularity in all markets and lumia high end with unaffordable uneconomical price of 1000 dollars in the markets that just few can afford this 950!?Reading gsmArena.com complete review gives more insights for both high end 950 and low midrange 550!!!As a friend of Microsoft that knows no Chinese brands but cares about what they make,I want to say as an example, an unknown Chinese brand called Xiaomi had made Redmi Note 2 with the same price mentioned here with highest apps installed in upper midrange smartphones!!!What's wrong in Microsoft the number one in the world that shows tight fisted stinginess to offer at least snap dragon 410.WiFi a b g n ac WiFi direct and hotspot,two 8 megapixel rear and 5 for front cameras!!!?Nevertheless,since I criticize for construction not for destruction,Hopefully Windows 10 and some updates and upgrades and even lumia 550 Plus does necessary reconstructions and amendments to bring back Microsoft the great first innovater inventor and creator of the best in the world !!!?Hopefully the brave and facts writing gsmArena.com releases and publishes the facts.I have to add with comparing the low qualities of lumia 550 with other rival brands with superior upper midrange qualities,this lumia 550 with all flaws and incompleteness with 100ddollars to prove trustworthiness of Microsoft is a good price and bargain!!!Thanks all,GSM,Microsoft the great to listen and readers to write their comments unbiasedly and fairly!!Dearest Microsoft,I still respect you for many reasons especially creating jobs and fulfill your promise....,Thanks with the best regard...

Overall I think this is great value for money I got this phone to get me by while my top spec phone was for repair, however it does everything I need for business, obusloy the camera is a low spec and if you really hammer it you may get some lag but it's a smartphone for under £100 in most places so what do you expect.
Only bad points:-
I find the battery life is not as good as the 535
and facebook is slow and not quite as good as the driod or iphone verson
