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

The Lumia 550 has been criticized for having lower specs than its predecessor, such as an inferior 5MP camera that lacks a wide angle lens, missing functionality, like the lack of double tap to wake, and a shorter battery life making it uncompetitive with similar phones in its price range.^[6]^[7]
