70/100

GSMArena

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.

60/100

Recombu | Chris Barraclough

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

35/100

Neowin | Rich Woods

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.

Last Updated: 17th February 2019

How HandsetExpert Works: We don't run ads on the site, or charge users to use the site. The site is funded using commission links, where we may receive a commission if a phone or tariff is purchased via HandsetExpert. Our editorial, phone scoring and recommendation system and deal-finding algorithms are not affected by this; we are fiercely committed to providing unbiased, independent information.

Important notes

  • We aim to compare as many tariffs in the marketplace from the UK as possible. However, we do not include every package (e.g. legacy tariffs no longer available, or tariffs only available to existing/specific customers), nor do we detail every aspect of every tariff (e.g. international out of bundle rates, on-network minutes, etc).
  • SIM only deals are limited to 30-day and 12-month plans, excluding shorter plans and Pay As You Go rates.
  • For tariffs which offer "unlimited" allowances, there may be times where traffic management or fair usage policies apply.
  • Additional charges for payment methods other than direct debit and for itemised/paper billing may apply.
  • Data only SIM cards, mobile broadband packages, and pay monthly tablets are currently not included in the comparison.
  • Out of bundle charges are not included in the calculation of Average Monthly Cost.
  • Contracts may not be available for some phone models in all colours and/or sizes, and a small number may only be available either as a pay monthly contract or a contract free handset, but not both.
  • Providers may increase the cost of your contract by RPI (inflation). However, if prices are increased that then cause a materially detrimental impact, you have the right to exit your contract without penalty. More details available from Ofcom plus comparative information on customer service and complaints handling & their guide on how to complain.
