Microsoft has today launched the
affordable Lumia 550 smartphone in India. The Windows 10 smartphone is priced
at Rs 9,399 and will go on sale on December 23.
The Lumia 550, not surprisingly, is the
most affordable Windows 10 smartphone in Microsoft’s lineup. Unlike
aforementioned high-end smartphones though, the Lumia 550 misses out on features
like Continuum, and Windows Hello.
Microsoft Lumia 550
specifications and features: The
smartphone flaunts a 4.7-inch HD (1280×720 pixels) LCD display at a pixel
density of 315ppi. It is powered by a rather dated Qualcomm Snapdragon 210
quad-core chipset clocked at 1.1GHz and paired with Adreno 304 GPU and 1GB of
RAM. Also on offer is 8GB internal storage, which can be expanded up to 200GB
using a microSD card.
On
the photography front, the smartphone is equipped with a 5-megapixel f/2.4 rear
camera with LED flash and 720p video recording capabilities. Up front is a
2-megapixel f/2.8 selfie camera with 480p video recording capabilities.
The
Lumia 550 also features a FM Radio, and a 2,100mAh battery that Microsoft
claims is good enough for up to 16 hours of talktime and up to 28 days on
standby mode. Connectivity options include single-SIM card slot, 4G LTE
support, Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n, Bluetooth 4.1 and GPS.
On
paper Microsoft’s Lumia 550 is a tad disappointing especially when you consider
the dated processor, 1GB of RAM and a single SIM card slot. When you take this
into consideration, Microsoft’s choice of the price tag is quite baffling.
