That said i am a bit disappointed by the specs. At a price of $150 and approx 10k rupees in India, i was expecting a more powerful cpu+gpu.
Snapdragon 200 and Adreno 302 is so 2013. Even the Lumia 520 had a more powerful Krait cores and Adreno 305.
Also i really wished the phone had 16gb internal storage.
Enough of the negatives.I appreciate the 8MP primary and 5MP front cam although i doubt a lot of people even use front cams.So maybe they could have removed the front cam altogether and instead given us a more powerful cpu+gpu or more internal storage.
In shops, the price is likely to be a lot lower.
The processor is weak, but this is a budget phone and if you want a step up, then the Lumia 640 is there.
I'm pretty sure MS will not put 16gb internal storage on their budget phones anytime soon. They need to differentiate their phones and this is one way.
I don't know about India, but in developed countries the front camera is pretty useful. People use them for selfies, and 5MP is useful for Skype calls.
Having said all this, I am probably going for the Lumia 640 xl. It seems like the best value phone for me with few compromises.
