Microsoft's Lumia 950 could cost as much as iPhone

PanARMENIAN.Net - Microsoft's flagship Windows 10 phones the Lumia 950 and the Lumia 950 XL could be just as expensive as Apple's latest iPhones, Digital Spy reports.

Spanish retailer Ecomputer is listing the Lumia 950 at €659 and its larger sibling at €749, roughly the same as what the iPhone 6S and 6S Plus cost on the continent.

As these prices do not come from Microsoft itself, they should be taken with a grain of salt, but it's only a matter of weeks before official information will come our way.

The Redmond firm is holding a product unveiling in New York on October 6 and the new handsets are expected to take centre stage.

The Lumia 950 is rumoured to include a 5.2-inch display with a 1440 x 2560 resolution, a Qualcomm Snapdragon 808 chip, 3GB of RAM, and 32GB of storage.

The iPhone 6S Plus-rivalling XL has been tipped to include a 5.7-inch display with a resolution of 1440 x 2560, a Qualcomm Snapdragon 810 chipset and 3GB of RAM.

Reports suggest the new phones will be unveiled alongside a next-generation Surface tablet and Microsoft Band, as well as the budget Lumia 550 handset.
