Lumia next Low-End smartphone (Lumia 550 or 650)

[stefanosGR]

It's coming any Low-End Lumia smartphone (550 or 650), and it available rumored specs or release date?

No rumors for any device except 950 + we've ever plenty of low end Lumia devices, why would you need more :/

What really is needed in the US with all phones is more universal phones so we don't have to chase down which model the carrier has available. Right now Verizon has 2 nice small WPs and no big one at all. ATT has one big one and nothing else. With other smaller carriers the situation is about the same.

Of course there are many WPs that can be bought and used on more than one carrier, but you have to dig in the specs to figure out which ones because even though GSM is more widely dispersed among carriers, they all want to play their own games with it. That is one very big plus with iOS phones these days, all current models can be moved from one carrier to the next without much effort.

IMO, it is a shame that MS doesn't have the clout these days to just tell the carriers here's the phone, it will work with all.

Even though I will never, ever buy a flagship phone (costs to much, unnecessary specs and stuff, while we have mid range phones that can get you practically everything that a flagship can), I would like to see one that'll be totally astonishing and blow away the competition, just so people can shut their assess and stop talking bull**** about WP.

I'm thinking the 950 and 950 XL will probably go to Att and T-Mobile but for windows 10 we need the other manufacturers to step it up with high, mid, and low end phones.

At least LG, Samsung, and HTC could provide high ends for carriers that the new Lumias might not go to (Vzw and Sprint) and maybe spread their mid and low range every where.

At least that's wishful thinking...

I have the Lumia 635, but I'm waiting to buy a new Lumia in 2016. I'm waiting for next 550 or 650.

I don't know, the 640 is a great low end phone. I don't think it needs to be updated for a while. I've seen it between $50-80 dollars here in the states. Can't ask for much more than that.

I just bought the 640 for $60 ($80 with a Target $20 card thrown in). Great little phone and I probably will use it more at the golf course than the iPhone 6+ I have. The smaller, but yet more than big enough screen, makes it handier.
