New Lumia 550 Update Now Available

The Lumia 550 is a smartphone that was released by Microsoft in October last year, where it ran on Windows 10 and certainly does not break the bank when it comes to the pricing details. Well, now that you have spent a fair number of months with it, how has your experience been? You would surely be pleased as punch to hear that there is a spanking new update for the Windows 10-powered device which has been rolled out by the good folks over at Microsoft. In this particular update, it will bring the firmware version of the device from 15461.48007 to 15503.21007, although do not be alarmed that the operating system version remains as it is.

A rose, by any other name, would still smell just as sweet, so while the operating system version maintains its number, this particular update does come with it’s fair bit of fixes. The update is supposedly available only via the Windows Device Recovery Tool, which means there is no way to obtain it via the Over The Air (OTA) route. Hence, you might want to keep that in mind so that you will fire up the Windows Device Recovery Tool in order to perform an update on your device, but remember that all of your data will be lost as well, so do perform a backup before that.
