Microsoft Lumia 550 with Windows 10, 4G Support launched in India, priced at Rs 8,909: Specifications, features




After launching the high-end Lumia 950 and Lumia 950XL last month, Microsoft has launched the affordable Lumia 550 smartphone in India. The Windows 10 smartphone is priced at Rs 8,909 on Snapdeal. 

The Lumia 550, not surprisingly, is the most affordable Windows 10 smartphone in Microsofts 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 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 Microsofts 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, Microsofts choice of the price tag is quite baffling.
