In the video, the presenter compares the performance of the Microsoft Lumia 550 and the Lumia 640 to help viewers decide which phone offers better value, especially since the 640 is more expensive despite being older. Equipped with the Snapdragon 210, the Lumia 550 struggles with lag and slow performance, particularly in loading games and web pages, compared to the Snapdragon 400-powered Lumia 640, which consistently performs faster. Web browsing shows mixed results, with the Lumia 550 loading pictures quicker but overall achieving similar performance to the Lumia 640.
Multitasking tests reveal the Lumia 550 has better memory retention, keeping apps like Groove Music open, whereas the 640 tends to close them. Despite the Lumia 550's entry-level status, its 5-megapixel camera performs surprisingly well in good lighting but falls short in low light conditions, producing grainy images. Video recording on the Lumia 550 is limited to 720p but shows good stabilization and focus. The omission of full HD recording is noted as peculiar.
The presenter concludes that while the Lumia 550 could benefit from a more powerful processor like the Snapdragon 410, the Lumia 640 remains a more balanced option, offering better performance and camera quality, particularly in low light. The video ends with a recommendation for viewers seeking a basic Windows platform device to consider the Lumia 640 for its overall better performance.

In this part of the video, the speaker compares the performance of two phones, the Lumia 550 and Lumia 640, in terms of memory retention, camera capabilities, and video recording. The Lumia 550 performs well in memory retention but could still improve. Surprisingly, its 5-megapixel camera holds up well against the 640’s camera in good lighting conditions, although it struggles more in low light where images turn grainy. For video recording, the 550 supports only 720p compared to the 640’s full HD, yet it shows respectable stabilization and quick focusing for an entry-level device.
