Pro 16GB of internal storage and MicroSD card expansion

Pro 13 MP camera
The Ativ SE shares the same camera as the Galaxy S4 which was highly regarded as a fantastic camera at its release last year. Although one unfortunate thing is Samsung left out is a dedicated camera button that almost all other Windows Phones include.
Pro Affordable
The Lumia 650 comes with Windows 10 and all of it's features (with the exception of Windows Hello) at a price anybody can afford.
Cons
Con Weak specs
While not available yet (reviewers haven't had the chance to test it yet), based on the specs it looks like performance will leave some to be desired. A Snapdragon 212, 1GB of RAM, and 2000mAh battery are specs that could be found in a $100-150 Android phone.
