Camera and Storage

Microsoft Lumia 550 features an entry-level camera setup. The primary camera is a 5-megapixel sensor with LED flash and autofocus. It can be used to shoot HD (720p) videos at 30 frames per second.

There is also a 2-megapixel front-facing snapper for selfies and video calling. Inbuilt storage is 8 GB and you will be able to add up to 200 GB more via the microSD card slot.

Performance and OS

Armed with a quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 210 processor, Microsoft Lumia 550 is decked out to deliver impressive performance for a budget smartphone. The processor is paired with 1 GB of RAM and an Adreno 304 GPU.

You should be able to use multiple apps at the same time with minimal glitches, but you need to moderate your performance expectation as well. The phone boots the new Windows 10 Mobile operating system which makes it a good deal for the price because it enables you access some exciting new features on the Microsoft platform such as the digital personal assistant Cortana.
