Positioned as an entry-level phone, the Liquid M220 costs only Php2,490, the cheapest Windows-based smartphone in the market today. It comes with Windows 8.1 OS but is upgradeable to Windows 10 in the fourth quarter of 2015.

The memory is upgradeable to 32GB via a MicroSD card slot. It has a removable 1300mAh battery and two SIM slots.

What is unique about the Liquid M220 is that its back cover has a textile finish that gives it a sophisticated and fashionable guise and feel, which also doubles as extra grip for the phone to make handling safe and secure. Around the handset is a protruding edge that offers more grip while in the hand.

The handset has a vivid 4-inch display and 233 pictures per inch (PPI) screen resolution. The phone has a 5-Megapixel main camera (with autofocus and LED flash) and secondary 2-Megapixel front camera. The two cameras  are voice-operated. Most phones in the M220’s price range do not have a front camera.

The phone is available now and comes in white and black.

If you’re a Windows fan and if you’re looking for an affordable phone that can be an extension of your Windows computer, this phone is a great find for such a low price.

“Once the M220 runs Windows 10, it will essentially become a PC,” says Microsoft Philippines partner account manager Mon del Rosario.
