With almost all the hype surrounding the launch of the flagship Lumia 950 and 950 XL, Microsoft almost included this lovely little beauty as an afterthought.
In keeping in line with the budget 500 series, the new Lumia 550 is a direct upgrade on the Lumia 530 and Lumia 520 that came before it. However this year Microsoft decided to ramp things up a notch and baptised it with a 4.7 inch screen a la the Lumia 535.
In what is seen as a direct assault on the budget centric Motorola G series, the Lumia 550 launches at an attractive entry price package of around $140.
Inside it hums along on an Octa-core 1.1 GHz Cortex-A7 processor and 1GB of RAM. Imaging wise you get a 5 MP primary camera as well as a 2 MP "selfie" camera and 8 GB of storage to go with it. There is also a microSD slot because these days 8 GB barely scratches the surface.
All this is wrapped up in a nice new fresh coat of Windows 10 so expect added functionality and a few software tweaks.
