Nok nok, 21 Apr 2017I have a 635 for the past 2 years, its been ok ish. Now ne... more650 is a later model, but the 640 wins hands down in endurance rating, and supports windows 10. 650 has got a nice amoled, but like the 1520 the LCD screen is MUCH more energy efficient.

Had this phone for a week, but I ended up returning it.
1. Great OLED screen, great colours which fit the Windows OS perfectly.
2. Snapdragon 212 with 1GB RAM is pretty trash. Windows runs alright on this phone though, but yeah even opening 5 tabs on the Edge browser causes it to crash. And there are noticeable frame drops when scrolling through menus etc. If you exit any app and don't close it expect it to completely reload the next time you go to it.
3. Camera took alright-ish photos, but was slow. HDR mode was even slower. Video is only up to 720p and is very shaky. Front camera was pretty good though.
4. Windows is a good OS, and runs well on this phone if you only use it to do basic tasks. Even when using the maps app it takes forever to load. BUT light gaming is actually fine (Temple Run, Score World Goals). App store is decently stocked and the Office Apps are a great addition. Typing on the stock keyboard is also good.
5. Battery life was also pretty bad. Glance screen drained the battery a lot even though the phone uses an OLED screen. Basic tasks also drain it rather quickly.
All in all, a good phone as a backup or as an 'expendable' phone, like one of the other people said ;) but yea the SoC and 1GB of RAM just couldn't do it for me. Gorgeous screen, though. I had a Lumia 640XL before I switched from this phone and now I'm using the XL again. It's cheaper, has a much larger screen for viewing content and has phenomenal battery life. I find the performance to be better as well. Not to mention the ZEISS camera :D hope this helped!

Looks like the 650 is not much better, so what Lumia do I go for ??
Don't need an expensive phone just a good one.

The ideal secondary phone, very elegant, sleek and with a gorgeous OLED display!
I have the S7 edge and I needed a cheaper, more expendable secondary phone, that should work as a GPS navigator and last days on airplane mode without charges and 650 has been magnificent!! I am very pleased with it, ESP with two things, it's completely lag free, blazing fast since day one, even in gaming, hats off to MS for that, there is no 1gb ram android able to work like that! And the adoptive storage option really works like an internal one, even for games!!
PS it's always on clock function, is much more energy efficient than it is on my S7 edge

Ok as a general purpose business phone. Windows 10 Mobile had some interesting features that never really caught on. Microsoft's incompetence at marketing their phones helped seal the fate of their mobile endeavor. The 650 is a light usable phone that can be had used at a good price. If you want apps get a similar spec Android phone.

Jitu, 01 Apr 2017Is it really a good deal to upgrade from Lumia 720 to Lumia... moreBigger screen, oled, thinner, Windows 10 mobile, it is a nice upgrade compared to the 720. Customizable with the Mozo back covers if you like. And it's not expensive at all.

It's good that you step out of the mobile phone industry, your phone sucks. It doesn't even give any decent features but too expensive.

Jitu, 01 Apr 2017Is it really a good deal to upgrade from Lumia 720 to Lumia... moreHey,
If you're upgrading from a Lumia 720 then it should be a pretty decent upgrade. From the looks of things, the Lumia 650 is better in almost every way.
Considering you have the G5 Plus, the Lumia 650 may feel comparatively very slow and sluggish. The 650's Snapdragon 212 and 1GB of RAM is on the very low end (even most smartwatches use the Snapdragon 400). I use an iPhone SE and a Lumia 640 XL (Snapdragon 400, 1GB RAM) and the speed/multitasking are worlds apart.
I've tried the 650 out in store and the screen is gorgeous. The build is also fantastic. I mistook it for a pretty high-end phone, BUT man was it slow. There were dropped frames and stutters even when scrolling through the start menu.
I have, however, purchased a Lumia 650 which is coming tomorrow, to replace my 640 XL despite it's crippling performance, as I truly was amazed by the display. I also got a great price from a retail store. I will keep you updated!
