Lumia 650 Real Image Leaked; Comes with Snapdragon 210 & Wireless Charging

A new image of Lumia 650, the next budget Windows 10 Mobile is expected to be announced at MWC 2016, has been leaked which reveals better build quality (the metal looking rim), and is expected to come with wireless charging. Looks like Microsoft is going to stick with Snapdragon 210 with all their budget phones, as Venturebeat confirms the specifications.

Lumia 650 is said to come with a 5-inch 720P LCD screen with 1 GB RAM. The camera however is 8 MP unlike the Lumia 550 which only houses a 5 MP camera. The alleged battery capacity is 2000 mAh. This if you compare with previous generation device like the Lumia 540, and not an upgrade to Lumia 640.  The phone should of course support 4G / LTE. There is no information about Single or Dual SIM right now.

While the device build quality definitely looks great, compared to previous generation, it still carries a low end LTE processor which doesnt perform so well, as we saw on the Lumia 550. Anything more than casual usage hits on the overall performance.

So why is Microsoft launching this device? It is quite possible that these devices are still from the Nokia generation, and I would agree with VB that it could be last of the series. Microsoft should start working or is already working its next generation of low end devices which is very important for its market share.
