Microsoft Lumia 650

 

Design and Display

In a way, one may be right in saying that the Microsoft Lumia 650 is more like what the Lumia 950 and its XL variant should have looked like.

Although the rear is made of plastic, the phone features a more premium design with a diamond-cut, anodized aluminium frame. It has a matte finish to make it comfortable to handle. The Lumia 650 shows off an attractively svelte profile at just 6.9 millimetres, while weighing only 122 grams.

Microsoft Lumia 650 sports a 5-inch touch display with an HD resolution of 1,280 x 720 pixels. The OLED screen promises great colours and deeper blacks for enjoyable viewing.

Camera and Storage

Microsoft Lumia 650 packs a decent pair of cameras that will suffice for the needs of most business users. On the rear, you will find an 8-megapixel shooter, which the phone’s maker says offers ‘rich capture and living images’ capability.

You also get a 5-megapixel snapper on the front for video calls and wide-angle selfies, if you are into that. Onboard storage of 16GB capacity provides ample room for files and images.

You will also be able to include additional storage of up to 200 GB using a microSD card.

Performance, OS and Other Features

Under the hood, the Microsoft Lumia 650 packs a quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 212 processor with speeds maxed at 1.3 GHz. This CPU is paired with paltry 1 GB of RAM.

Looking at this configuration, it is clear that one should not expect this device to deliver out-of-the-world performance. However, the Windows platform is known to be very efficient even with limited resources. So, expect the Lumia 650 to perform smoothly.

Microsoft Lumia 650 boots Windows 10 operating system, which will come as good news to business users. It is built to enable productivity, coming with newest Office apps out-of-the-box and supporting business applications.

You also have the digital personal assistant Cortana to help you stay organised and get things done more efficiently.

It is a tad disappointing that Microsoft can only provide a 2,000mAh battery. But then, the juicer should be manageable given the chipset used and manageable screen resolution.

The Microsoft Lumia 650 also supports 4G LTE (Cat. 4) for super fast downloads and hassle free video streaming.

Microsoft Lumia 650, which will be offered in white and black colour variants, supports dual-SIM feature. It features Bluetooth 4.1 and NFC. Other interesting features include HD Voice and Wi-Fi calling.

Pricing and Availability

Microsoft Lumia 650 is not yet available in Nigeria. When available, you can buy it at leading online stores in the country. Microsoft Lumia 650 Price in Nigeria is expected to range from N35,000 to N45,000 depending on your location in Nigeria.
