Looks uninteresting to have a snapdragon 210 (when 820 is round the corner) that too on 5" display but then in recent CES alcatel announces one with 210 and 5.5" display (Fierce XL)! Well, has qualcomm made a clearance sale of 210? But 210 has reasonable other specs but for 720p limit. Alcatel phone is expected to be around $65 and is good enough at that price. If Lumia 650 is about $60 then it makes sense.

    To my would be more logical that use a 1080 p resolution and the snapdragon 415 or 617

          Apart from the cameras and inclusion of Gorilla Glass it isn't really a step up from the 550... In fact the 550 has a better pixel density...

                Angry bird, 10 Jan 2016Please somebody fire the device engineers, marketing so-cal... moreAgree with you all the way.I think i would manage and produce better and innovative smartphones worth great and useful ideas and features than those that work at Microsoft. You cannot have just good resume and good degree and you are intellect as none else. There are people without these but they have ideas, imagination and will to create something different and useful. These days these technology companies just copy each other with very low differentiation in products and services. They just stopped thinking in different manner and started copying or following each other.

                  Please somebody fire the device engineers, marketing so-called "experts and managers from Microsoft mobile. They have ABSOLUTELY NO idea about what we want. Why pay incompetent people? You hire anybody from the market that is using WP for more than just telephony. That person could give you better/more innovative ideas that any of those that are working at MS today.

                  EPIC FAIL!!!!!!!!!!!

                                        It would have been better to use cortex a9 single core .. If they have to build just a smartphone for being called as SMARTPHONE .
