Microsoft Lumia 550 stars in official video

With its entry-level specs, it is easy to forget that the Microsoft Lumia 550 was unveiled at the same time as the new Windows 10 Mobile powerhouses, the Microsoft Lumia 950 and the Microsoft Lumia 950 XL. Still, that doesn't mean that Microsoft is just going to forget about the phone. An official video was released today for the Lumia 550, detailing some of its features, including the latest Office apps that are pre-loaded on the device.

The Lumia 550 is equipped with a 4.7-inch screen, carrying a 720 x 1280 resolution. That works out to a 314ppi pixel density. The Snapdragon 210 SoC is under the hood, with a quad-core 1.1GHz CPU and the Adreno 304 GPU. 1GB of RAM is inside, along with 8GB of internal, expandable storage. A 5MP camera adorns the back of the unit, while a 2MP shooter graces the front. A 2100mAh battery keeps the generator humming, and Windows 10 Mobile is pre-installed.

The phone will be available unlocked, directly from Microsoft, starting in December. Priced at $139, the phone still comes with Cortana and other Windows 10 Mobile features that you'll find on more expensive Lumia models.
