Microsoft, as promised, launched its first Windows 10 Mobile handsets - the Lumia 950 Dual SIM and Lumia 950 XL Dual SIM in India. The new Lumia flagships will be available from December 11 with 'best buy' prices of Rs. 43,699 and Rs. 49,399 respectively. Pre-order bookings start Monday, and the smartphones will be available to buy both online and via physical retail stores.
The Microsoft Display Dock, which has been launched at Rs. 5,999, will be bundled free with both phones while stocks last.
To recall, Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella announced at recently concluded Future Unveiled conference in Mumbai had announced plans to launch both its newly launched Windows 10 Mobile-powered handsets in India by December.
The company also showcased Windows 10 Continuum feature which makes smartphones essentially computers with a different operating system and interface. The two new Lumia handsets can be called mini-computers - in the traditional PC sense. With the Windows 10 Continuum feature, they can be hooked up to a monitor along with a mouse and keyboard, using the Microsoft Display Dock. Once connected, the phone's user interface switches to an interface that looks like a Windows 10 desktop with Start menu and other elements.
