Microsoft’s Lumia 950 & Lumia 950 XL Unveiled

Microsoft made new smartphone announcements during its Windows 10 hardware event in NYC, unveiling the Lumia 950 and Lumia 950 XL.

Both the phones feature identical specs to some extent, but vary in size and chipset. And they run on full Windows 10.

The 5.2-inch Lumia 950 packs a Snapdragon 808 with 3GB of RAM, while the 5.7-inch Lumia 950 XL includes a Snapdragon 810 with the same memory.

Both Lumia phones offer a 20-megapixel PureView shooter with triple LED flash (and a 5-megapixel front snappier), 32GB of expandable storage, and USB Type-C support for charging – Qualcomm’s Quick Charge technology is also on offer.

The new Lumia Devices will also support Windows Hello biometric authentication. And with Microsoft Dock Display, you can share your Lumia 950’s screen to an external monitor via USB C and use it like a PC.

The Lumia 950 and Lumia 950 XL will retail for $549 and $649 respectively, and will hit the stores in November.

Apart from the Lumia 950 and Lumia 950 XL affair, Microsoft’s got a budget-friendly offering too.

The Lumia 550 features a 5-inch screen with 5-meagapixel rear camera and 2-megapixel front camera. The phone is equipped with 2GB of RAM and 1905mAh battery – all for $139.
