In the United States, Microsoft is selling the Lumia 950 for $550 (Rs 36,352) and the Lumia 950XL for $650 (Rs 42,977). In addition, a report published by Windows Central also suggests that Microsoft will be likely to announce the newly launched Windows 10 powered devices in India on November 30. Microsoft claims that the Lumia 950 and the Lumia 950 XL battery life last long.

You could just as easily get Word and PowerPoint on iOS and Android, or use Google Docs to seamlessly start and finish work on your phone and PC. By using a Microsoft Display Dock, you can connect the phone to an external display.
If you buy it from the official store it’ll be shipping by December 3. MicroSD cards are so cheap now, you can pick up a 128GB one for only $50. Now its all Microsoft’s business, and it’s clear: they want you to focus on Windows 10 software and Microsoft-made hardware.
One of the innovations introduced by Microsoft is undoubtedly Windows 10 Continuum function. The rest according to Ars Technica, “are equivalent: 2560×1440 AMOLED screen, 3GB RAM, 32GB storage, USB Type C with rapid charging, Qi wireless charging, 20MP rear and 5MP front cameras, and biometric iris unlocking”. They’re both capable cameras, but the phone’s no Galaxy S6 for low-light or LG G4 for speed. I do enjoy Windows 10’s visual update, even though it’s a minor boost that doesn’t add much substance, and the camera takes pleasing photos. But with this new camera, whether it’s sharper images of fast-moving subjects like my kids, more accurate lighting in darker environments or no blur, it enables you to capture the flawless images and create sweet memories regardless of conditions. In product making, every detail matters, so we ensured that we kept the dedicated camera button that our fans love. This operating system seeks to unite your tablet and PC with your smartphone by letting you work seamlessly across all devices.
Note, however, that several of the most unique features of Windows 10 depend on the hardware built into the Lumia 950 and Lumia 950XL.
In Continuum you have the ability to connect your Lumia 950 to a monitor which, using a tiny metal box as an intermediary, allows you to have a desktop interface powered by your mobile device. It is an interesting method that extends Microsoft practical usefulness of a phone and this feature is not found in any other manufacturer.
“I do believe there are a few people who will like the Lumia 950, which is good from a hardware perspective, if not terrific”. Verizon users, like me, can’t even use it, and thank God.
Be more productive this coming new year. I am excited for what we’re delivering now and in the future.

Despite their names, Windows Phone 7 and Windows Phone 8 were two radically different systems. The Redmond giant has to figure out a way of compressing a DSLR into a smartphone by compromising only in areas where end results would not be impacted – and the Lumia 1050 battery sounds like a good candidate.
