![]() It's just about small enough for one-handed use, too, so you shouldn't have to stretch too much to reach the Action Centre at top of the phone or tap any Live Tiles on the other side of the screen. It's a beautifully made phone, and its smooth rear panel can be lifted off to reveal a replaceable battery and microSD slot to expand its 16GB of onboard storage. It's a shame it doesn't come in slightly more colourful variants, but the choice of matt black or matt white should suit professionals who want something a little more unassuming than the latest Android flagship. With its metal frame and diamond-cut edges that measure just 6.9mm thick, the Lumia 650 is a world away from the glossy, curvy plastic shells of Lumias past. ![]() ![]() ![]() One thing the Lumia 650 does have in its favour is its top class casing. Without Continuum, the Lumia 650 has already lost one of its key selling points, and it makes the rest of the phone a much harder sell compared its older, and now considerably cheaper, predecessors. Instead of having a USB-C port like the Lumia 950 or 950 XL, the Lumia 650 only has a regular Micro USB connector, thereby making it incompatible with Microsoft's Display Dock. It's curious, then, that the Lumia 650, one of Microsoft's first budget entries in its new Windows 10 Lumia family and the phone that's arguably most likely to be bought en masse for company employees, has no Continuum support whatsoever. However, there's clearly a lot of potential here and it could still be massively useful for employees who hot desk round the office, as it effectively negates the need (in some circumstances) to carry round a laptop all day. As we mentioned in our Lumia 950 XL review, Continuum still has some way to go before it can match a proper Windows 10 PC or laptop experience, as its window management and multi-tasking capabilities are rather lacking.
