Unlocked Lumia 650 goes on sale at Cricket Wireless in the U.S.
Back in April, we informed you that Cricket Wireless would bring Microsoft Lumia 650 to the US with a price tag of $129.99. Now, you can finally purchase this phone from Cricket Wireless and enjoy the Windows 10 phone experience.
The choice made by Cricket Wireless is very interesting because very few US carriers sell Windows 10 phones. Another advantage for buyers is its price tag. When Microsoft started selling its Lumia 650 in the US and Canada, buyers could purchase the phone for $200. One month later, you can already save $70 for the same model.
The Microsoft Lumia 650 is powered by a 1.3GHz quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 212 processor equipped with 1GB of RAM and its 16GB internal storage capacity can be expanded up to 200GB with the help of a microSD card.
The phone has a sleek design, with a 5-inch touchscreen display offering a 720 by 1280-pixel resolution. The primary 8-megapixel camera and the 5-megapixel front shooter allows users to take excellent photos. The Lumia 650 is beautiful, thin and light, with a premium metallic design that offers it a business-like look.
Its operating system, Windows 10 Mobile, brings built-in apps like Office, Mail & Calendar, Maps and Photos, allowing you to stay up-to-date with what is going on at work on the go. Also, Microsoft OneDrive backs up your information and syncs seamlessly across all your Windows 10 devices while Cortana, your personal digital assistant, helps you with various tasks.
