Microsoft announced the Lumia 950 and 950 XL flagship pair and just as we though the devices event was moving from the Lumias towards the Surface, a Lumia 550
was briefly mentioned. An entire ten seconds of the spotlight were
enough to announce the affordable smartphone will be available in
December for $139.
The list of specs starts with a 4.7-inch LCD display of a 720p resolution, which seems to be the best part on paper. Computing power comes from a Snapdragon 210 chipset with a quad-core 1.1GHz processor and 1GB of RAM.
Storage is a rather limiting 8GB, but is expandable via microSD. There’s a 5MP/2MP camera combo and full LTE support, courtesy of Qualcomm’s chip.

The Microsoft Lumia 550 will be available in a variety of colors for
its detachable polycarbonate back cover, a staple of the lower end
Lumias. Battery capacity is listed at 2,100mAh, and the whole package
measures 136.1 x 67.8 x 9.9mm.
The affordable Windows 10 device tips the scales at 141.9g, virtually the same as the new iPhone 6s. Apparently, that's the industry standard for a 4.7-inch smartphone.
