The Lumia 550 is rocking a brand new OS even though it just cannot take advantage of all the benefits of Windows 10. Yet, the very fact is certain to bring more attention to the budget handset, which looks like a perfectly good phone for the price.

The Lumia 550, while certainly affordable, is not the way to truly appreciate the good points of Windows 10 - especially as some of the more intriguing features such as Continuum are missing in action.... Sadly it's not all that hot if you're simply after a cheapy easy-to-use mobile either.... That said, the camera is solid for the price and the phone is solidly built and easy to use one-handed

Also, as I mentioned at the beginning of this review, the Lumia 550 is simply underpowered. If you can manage it, shell out the extra money for a Lumia 650. You won't regret it. Personally, I'm just happy that I can finally put my Microsoft Lumia 550 to rest.
