Is the Microsoft Lumia 650 end to the Lumia brand?

The Microsoft Lumia 650 will go on sale on 18 February, with an estimated retail price of between £150 and £160.

Windows Central claimed that the Lumia 650 was likely to be the last Lumia for the year but rumours are about that Microsoft will be turning its attention to the new Panos phone. This surface phone is tipped to arrive some time later in the year; we will most likely see it in the Autumn.

Microsoft Lumia 650 features, specification and design

The Lumia 650 is light and thin (just 6.9mm and weighing in at 122g). The anodized aluminum frame is diamond cut and polished and there is still a removable battery with expandable storage.

The Lumia 650 has a 720p resolution 5in AMOLED screen and there is 1GB of RAM to enable Windows 10 to run – however, the 650 doesn't feature Continuum.

Storage is 16GB and you can add up to 200GB with a Micro-SD card slot. The Lumia 650's cameras includes an 8Mp rear camera and a 5Mp sensor on the front.

Unlike the other Lumia 950 devices, the 650 utilises a Micro-USB port. Technology includes 4G LTE with Cat 4 and there is also Bluetooth 4.1, 11b/g/n Wi-Fi, NFC, FM radio and A-GPS.

The Lumia 650 will be available in white or matte black.

Smartphones, tablets and the need for a responsive website

As smartphone technology evolves, more and more of us are going to browse the internet on these devices. This is why it is crucial that websites are fully responsive; if people can’t view your website properly on smartphones and tablets, this is not looked upon fondly by search engines.

It is also more likely that people will steer away from your website if it is not responsive and go to other, more modern websites instead.

If you would like help redesigning your existing website to make it responsive, or would like to speak to us regarding website design in general, call ACE Computer Support on 01902 375 304 – we will be happy to help!

How to make the most of your Business with your Website

Even in this day and age, there are still many SMEs that do not make the most of the internet.

Websites – in some cases, if there is one at all – are often left to stagnate, not being updated regularly to keep them looking fresh.

These days, it is all about content; by ensuring that your website has a news and/or blog room that is updated regularly with relevant, informative information, your website will stand a much better chance of being looked upon favourably by search engines. This, of course, is imperative for search results when potential clients are looking for services that you offer.

In addition, it is vital that your website is responsive i.e. that it can be viewed properly on tablet devices and smart-phones.

If your website has an old-fashioned or amateur look and feel to it, this could also send customers who do come across it fleeing to more modern, rival sites.

Social media is also something that is free of charge and it is a great way to get your products or services out there. By having active accounts, you will again be increasing your company presence in search results.

ACE Computer Support offers affordable solutions for clients in need of website rebuilds or even new websites if there isn’t one present.

We can also offer advice and provide social media services, including setting up accounts, training and even social media management and content provision.

Don’t take the risk of losing customers by neglecting your website; our prices are competitive and whatever you need is likely to me much more affordable than you may think.
