Fulfils my requirements completely. I don't miss anything (not even apps).
This is really a very good smartphone.
The build quality is very good and it looks smart.
The battery lasts me 2-4 days, depending on use.
The processor is not the fastest (which is not to be expected for the price), but with Windows 8.1 there are never any jerks or limitations.
The camera is top-notch and starts up very quickly (approx. 1 sec.).
The display is super sharp, although it only has a resolution of 1280 x 720 pixels. No idea who needs more.
In terms of apps, I have everything I need:
- Facebook
- Whatsapp
- Swisscom IO
- Swisscom TV (unfortunately not yet version 2.0)
- Skype
- 20min
- Here Drive+ (Navi)
- tube cast (super Youtube replacement)
- Kindle Reader
- Leo translator
- wikipedia
- Search.ch
- Local.ch
- SBB
- Cyber Dust (Snapchat replacement)
Oh yes, and you can also use it to make phone calls ;-)Pro
- Very good battery
- Super camera for the price
- Everything runs smoothly, no jerks
- Supports LTE standard
- Wireless charging possible

Great phone for little money
I switched from an Android (LG G2) to this Microsoft Lumia.
I like the first impression, the colours on the back are very bright and look cheerful. The cover on the back can be removed effortlessly, so you can change to another colour if needed (e.g. cyan, white, etc.).
Under the cover there is a SIM card slot (micro format) and an SD card slot (up to 128GB cards). I strongly recommend these, as in real terms only 3GB of memory is left for the user.
Typical for Microsoft, all location services are turned on by default and all data is sent to Microsoft for "product improvements", but this can be turned off. The first impression of Windows Phone 8.1, here with the Denim Update, is positive, after a few settings I already liked it very much. Apps can be easily installed from the store, so far I have been able to install all the apps that were important to me. Only the keyboard is a bit big in my opinion. During initial tests, I noticed that there are sometimes barely noticeable juddering noises. However, these do not bother me personally.
I hope that the apps for Windows Phone will be constantly improved; from my point of view, the switch was worth it.
When you buy the app, you get a "Picture +" subscription and an Office 365 licence for 1 year.
I can recommend this phone for users who don't want to spend a lot of money on a smartphone. For the money you get pretty much everything, even LTE!Pro

Recommended
For the price, a super Windows phone. I've had phones 3x as expensive, but they couldn't do 3x as much. Switching from an Android phone is very easy. I would buy again. Simple, with all the functions you need and still very cheap.
Pro
- Price/performance ratio
Contra
- Minimal scope of delivery (no headset)

Good price/performance ratio!
Everything is fine except for the variety of apps. Let's see if the next mobile phone has Android.
Apples are just too expensive!Pro

Inexpensive mobile phone with good features
I use this phone as a business device and was pleasantly surprised by the Windows operating system.

Since I need this phone for business, the camera is not relevant but the pictures and videos
are in good quality.Pro
- Battery lasts approx. 3 days with medium use
- Battery can be replaced
- SD card slot
- Good display
- Windows 10 available soon
Contra
- No cons as this phone offers everything you need at this price.

More expensive than you think
A good smartphone for the price. However, the charging cable that comes with the phone does not allow you to connect it to your computer, which is essential for sharing photos, videos and music. There are no headphones either, and you can only use just under 3 of the 8GB of internal memory. Therefore, you have to buy headphones, a memory card and a micro-USB cable separately if you want to use all the possibilities that a smartphone should offer. With these additional costs, the device cost me 240 francs. You should be aware of that before you buy. Otherwise, I can definitely recommend the device.
Pro
- Simple operation
- Long battery life
- Good display
Contra
- Small scope of delivery
- Only 3GB internal memory available
- small app selection
