Sure, you may have an idea of what high-end Windows 10 phones (http://www.engadget.com/2015/08/04/lumia-950-leak/) will be like, but what about the cheap-and-cheerful models that people are more likely to buy? You might not have to wonder any longer. Both OneTile (https://translate.google.com/translate?sl=ru&tl=en&js=y&prev=_t&hl=en&ie=UTF-8&u=http%3A%2F%2Fonetile.ru%2Fnovyj-render-lumia-550-s-licevoj-storony%2F&edit-text=) andWMPoweruser (http://wmpoweruser.com/heres-microsofts-lumia-550-range-pictures/?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+WmPowerUser+%28WMPowerUser%29 ) claim to have images and details of the Lumia 550, Microsoft's first entry-level Windows 10 handset. The looks are nothing special (surprise, it's a basic phone!), but it reportedly packs a little more punch than many starter devices between its 4.7-inch 720p screen and speedy LTE data. The rumored Snapdragon 210 processor, 8GB of expandable storage, 5-megapixel rear camera and 2-megapixel front cam are par for the course, but you'd also shell out just $120 -- a bargain when Motorola's Moto E (http://www.engadget.com/2015/03/23/moto-e-review-2015/) has a less impressive 960 x 540 screen and a mediocre 0.3-megapixel front shooter. As such, you may have something to look forward to at Microsoft's October 6th event (http://www.engadget.com/2015/09/14/microsoft-windows-10-event-october-new-york/) if you're more interested in value for money than raw performance.
