“Microsoft today introduced the Lumia 650, the company’s new Windows 10 Mobile device. As we previously reported, the Lumia 650 packs a 5-inch display, 16GB of internal storage, 1GB of RAM, a 2000 mAh battery, the Qualcomm Snapdragon 212 processor clocked at 1.3GHz, and supports LTE, too. As for the cameras, Microsoft is packing a 8MP rear camera and a 5MP front camera.
As you can see in the photo above, the Lumia 650 packs a pretty beautiful design. The device is only 6.mm thick, and weighs just 122 grams. Microsoft stated:
This really is a beautiful phone. We’ve paid attention to every detail, pairing the highest level of craftsmanship with maximum everyday productivity. The 5” OLED display is bright and crisp; colors really pop and blacks are deep and clear. It’s by far our most beautiful screen ever at this price point. Lumia 650 also features a highly polished, diamond cut and anodized aluminum frame, giving it an unparalleled and premium feel. Importantly, we didn’t sacrifice the removable battery and expandable storage, something we know our customers enjoy having. And with a profile of only 6.9mm and weighing just 122 grams, it’s incredibly thin and light. It’s a phone I’m proud to show off. ” via wmpoweruser.com
