Microsoft once again selling the unlocked Lumia 950 and Lumia 950 XL through its online store
Last week, Microsoft started selling the unlocked variant of the Lumia 950 XL through its US online store, and more recently, the standard-sized Lumia 950 received the same treatment. The product pages say that the Lumia 950 XL is readily available, but the Lumia 950 will only ship by February 8th.
The unlocked Microsoft Lumia 950 is priced at $549, while the phablet-sized Lumia 950 XL will set you back $649. Those are peppered prices for devices with mediocre design and build quality, but for Windows Phone loyalists, these are the only true flagships currently available on the market.
The two handsets definitely have great crisp displays, the processing power to match it, as well as pretty good cameras but the OS certainly didn't feel like a finished product. For a complete analysis of the two handsets, check out the reviews below:
Interestingly, this development coincides with rumors claiming that Microsoft is finally ready to launch Windows 10 Mobile to older Lumias. Hopefully, the OS will soon be in much better shape than it was back in September when the Microsoft Lumia 950 and 950 XL left us with mixed feelings.
