Microsoft announces the Windows 10-powered Lumia 650

The Lumia 650 sports a 5-inch HD AMOLED ClearBlack display with 1280x720 pixels. It has a pixel density of 297ppi. Microsoft says the display offers crisp, bright, vivid colors and deep blacks.

"Productivity & enterprise-grade Security are key differentiators of Windows Mobile OS". Apart from its thin (6.9mm) and light (122 g) body, the Lumia 650 is pre-installed with Microsoft Office, OneDrive, and Cortana, Microsoft's own personal assistant.

Reportedly, the rumored Surface phone has not been officially announced by Microsoft. Both have an aperture of f/2.2 and both are capable of 720p video recording. Lumia 950 is equipped with 20MP of rear camera coupled with triple-LED RGB flash. Up front, there is a 5-megapixel f/2.2 wide angle selfie camera.

In terms of specs, it's a mixture of low and mid-range components.

David Bowie's son, director Duncan Jones took to Twitter after Gaga left the stage and his tweet was cryptically critical. Gaga channelled Bowie's Ziggy Stardust persona with a bright red wig and went through a number of costume changes.

The market share of Windows phones is sagging.

If anything, the Lumia 650 has a more attractive and even high-end design than the Lumia 950.

Megapixels aren't everything when it comes to smartphone camera performance, but if you want the best Windows Phone for taking pictures, the 950 or 950 XL are likely to be the better bet. The phone's face is protected by Gorilla Glass and powered by a quad-core 1.3GHz, Qualcomm's Snapdragon 212 processor. The above hardware is juiced with a 2000mAh battery under the hood.

There's 1GB of RAM to run Windows 10 but the device doesn't feature Continuum. Lumia 650 will be available in select European markets starting February 18 at $199, which accounts to Rs 13,500 in the Indian currency. These phones range from the HTC Touch Diamond, HTC Touch Pro, HTC Imagio, HTC HD2 and more. Universal Windows 10 apps work across desktop PCs, tablets, and smartphones, so one purchase gets you access on all three platforms.
