Microsoft on Monday officially launched Windows 10 operating system based smartphones – Lumia 950 and Lumia 950XL – in India at a price of Rs 43,699 and Rs 49,399 respectively. The smartphones will go on sale on December 11.
Customers can pre-book the devices starting today at Microsoft Priority Resellers, Microsoft Store on Amazon.in and retail chains of Croma, Reliance and Sangeetha.
Packed with new features like Cortana and Microsoft Edge, the new OS is an attempt from Microsoft to lure back consumers who gave up on Windows for mobile devices.
The devices come loaded with the ‘Continuum’ feature which when connected to a supported Display Dock beams all the apps to a larger screen. The dock has been priced at Rs 5,999, but will be free for initial buyers.
“With the launch of Windows 10, we have ushered in an era of more personal computing which is all about interacting more easily, more naturally and more securely in a mobile-first, cloud-first world”, Microsoft India Chairman Bhaskar Pramanik said.
Microsoft Lumia 950 sports a 5.2-inch AMOLED display while the Lumia 950XL features a larger 5.7-inch IPS display. Both the devices feature a 20MP PureView rear camera with triple LED flash and a front camera of 5MP with wide angle lens.
Lumia 950 is backed by a 3,000mAh battery, whereas 950XL comes with a slightly bigger battery of 3,340mAh.
The Lumia 950 has 1.8HHz Snapdragon hexa-core processor, 3GB RAM and 32GB internal storage (supports 200 GB expandable storage).
Lumia 950XL will feature liquid cooling technology to dissipate the heat.
