The Microsoft Lumia 650 sports a 5″ OLED display with a resolution of 1280 x 720 pixels at 297ppi. On top of the display is Corning Gorilla Glass 3 and the proprietary ClearBlack technology. The physical appearance is quite utilitarian by today’s standards but thankfully, Microsoft opted for an aluminum frame over a full polycarbonate body, unlike its flagship device.

Powering the Lumia 650 is a rather inferior Qualcomm Snapdragon 212 quad-core processor running at 1.3GHz. RAM is also limiting at 1GB but with 16GB of expandable storage maxing at 200GB via a microSD. The battery is rated at 2000mAh and uses a replaceable cell for a quick swap.

Apparently the aluminum frame is worth 5K.

Microsoft should go against the grain. Keep making plastic phones and keep the price near the range of the Xiaomis, the Lenovos etc and they’ll slowly gain a hardcore following.

Behind na nga sila sa appstore/OS marketshare magpepresyo pa napakamahal.

If this new Lumia is priced at around 6K it will generate significant interest from those looking for a fresh beginning with Windows OS. But at 200$? PASS.
