Microsoft Lumia 550 is a budget smartphone manufactured by Microsoft Mobile as part of its Lumia family of Windows-based mobile computing products. It was introduced along with the Lumia 950 and the Lumia 950 XL on October 6, 2015 at a press event held in New York City.[2]

The Lumia 550 was released in December 2015 with Windows 10 Mobile version 1511. In August 2016, Microsoft released the Windows 10 Mobile Anniversary Update[3][4][5] (also known as Windows 10 Mobile Version 1607).

Reception

Michael Allison of MSPoweruser criticized the Lumia 550 for having lower specs than its predecessor, such as an inferior 5 MP camera that lacks a wide angle lens, missing functionality and a shorter battery life, making it uncompetitive with similar phones in its price range.[6][7]

Sean Cameron of Techradar gave the Lumia 550 3 stars out of 5, praising its screen, camera and speakers, but criticizing the battery life and performance and calling the Windows 10 Mobile operating system "unfinished".[8]
