Microsoft's Lumia 650 is a strange beast the budget-priced phone that actually looks much nicer than its flagship stablemates it's only six point nine millimeters thick has a clean map design and the anodized aluminium frame adds class that the 950 can't match the 5-inch OLED display is bright and clear and it's easy to forget that the resolution is only 720p it's quite a good windows experience with a few caveats while the styling is strong the build quality feels a little weak not helped by the fact it's superlight just 122 grams peeling off the back to access the 2000 milliamp hour battery and SIM card slot adds to the slightly flimsy feel while it underperformed in our battery tests in real world use it's actually pretty resilient lasting over a day with moderate phone use you are missing features like windows hello's facial recognition and the windows continuum PC like experience then again you're only paying $199 u.s. or $299 Australian and their features you might not miss for a low cost Windows Phone experience the Lumia 650 takes the right boxes
