Lumia 950 and Lumia 950 XL launched in India

MUMBAI, INDIA: Microsoft has launched Lumia 950 and Lumia 950 XL, the first Lumia phones in India.

Built on latest-generation Qualcomm Snapdragon processors, Lumia 950 and Lumia 950 XL come pre-loaded with Windows 10 that transitions seamlessly across Windows devices from key apps like built-in Office to access all your files, via OneDrive and the cloud.

Both the devices feature Continuum for phones, enhanced by the optional Microsoft Display Dock accessory. This Windows 10 feature allows users to use their phone like a PC by connecting it to a monitor and transforming it for larger-screen entertainment, or adding a keyboard and mouse to work like a PC with Windows 10 apps like Microsoft Office.

Both Lumia 950 and Lumia 950 XL come with 5 MP wide angle front camera. The devices feature a QuadHD AMOLED display featuring 518 ppi for Lumia 950 XL and 564 ppi for Lumia 950. The cameras come with a 20 MP sensor and triple LED natural flash and images can be synced across all Windows 10 devices with the Windows Photo.

Integrated with Cortana, the devices can integrate news updates, calendar reminders, messages, appointments or even flight information.

“With the launch of Windows 10, we have ushered in an era of personal computing which is about interacting easily, naturally and securely in a mobile-first, cloud-first world. Now, with Windows 10 on Lumia we take innovation to the next level and build upon the unique experiences of Windows 10 for phone users,” said Bhaskar Pramanik, Chairman, Microsoft India.

“Designed for Windows fans and mobile professionals who desire a premium phone that takes full advantage of Windows 10, the new flagship devices are powerful, performance-driven, unique and innovative,” he added

“The core thought behind building devices such as the Lumia 950 and Lumia 950 XL was to offer customers a seamless experience across their Windows devices and to ensure that they were empowered with the most productive smartphones,” said Raghuvesh Sarup, Director Marketing, Microsoft Mobile Devices India.
