about microsoft 550
the leatest smartphone from microsotf which runs on windows 10...
actually i was planning to buy a windows 10 device so i went to microsoft dealer to ask for windows 10 in lumia 640 xl lte..............after a long time they said " you have to wait almost 15 more days " i replied i can't wait..
so they informed me that lumia 550 has been launched which has windows 10 .. so i have bought it at the time...at 9600 rs..when i came back to my home i realized thar every thing went topsy-turvy....it is wrost phone.it has more disadvantages then advantages.....it is the slowest device i have ever seen in my entire life....i never recomened it to anyone...beleive that.....

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price of 130 dollars but here mentioned 202 dollars!!!?Unfortunately good Microsoft in lumia 550 has used the lowest outdated incomplete apps that existed in the market that ends to Nokia's fate!!!?Microsoft has lumia 640 XL LTE as a good midrange with popularity in all markets and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

I bought this phone as I use windows 10 on my PC and like it very much. I've used both Android and iOS in the past.
The apps are very poor, the internet browsing is very poor, the touch screen is not v sensitive - the list of things I could moan about regarding this phone could just go on! Thankfully it was relatively cheap, but I certainly wont be using a Windows 10 phone again!

mohsin, 03 Jan 2016is it good phone or notI think you should compare it with its predecessor (Lumia 540). Compared to 550, the 540 has higher camera resolutions (8MP back, 5MP front; compared to 5MP back and 2MP front on Lumia 550); larger display (5 inches; compared to 4.7" on Lumia 550); larger battery capacity (2.200 mAh vs 2.100 mAh). Yet, Lumia 550 tops the 540 with its later processor (Snapdragon 210 VS 200), LTE support, and higher resolution of video recording. Choose carefully. :)

lumia 640 wud have been best fone but
what shit is microsoft doing.
It brings out nice budget fone 640 with all superb features but gives on 1mp front camera.
Is microsoft out of their mind.
Is microsoft really trying to make nice budget fones or are they joking and bring fones with 1mp front camera.
Nowdays everyone wants selfie fones & 640 has everything except useless front camera.
I know guys microsoft camera is really good but its just common sense yar.
U get everything except nice selfie camera.

Anonymous, 02 Jan 2016But in some leaked specs sites, it's said that 650 will come with SnapDragon 210 too :(I know, that's why you should stick to 640 until they make something worth change

AnonD-340886, 02 Jan 2016Dude i like phablet Lumias like 950xl,1520,1320,640xl etc.. And other Lumias like 730,640 etc.. Dude what are you trying to say? I said it's one's own personal taste when it comes to scren sizes. Some like it big and some small. Learn to read and understand rather than rambling
