iPhone,Windows Phone#Lumia950#iPhone6S–Microsoft Lumia 950, 950XL update: Prices Leaked; Same price as iPhone 6S:Microsoft has been very prominent and aggressive with the marketing of their upcoming new smartphones, namely the Microsoft Lumia 950 and Lumia 950 XL, which they are planning to officially unveil in less than a month. Users have been curious about what the device would be offering in terms of performance, operating system, and most especially value.
Apparently a Spanish retailer has jumped the gun and posted an online listing for the new phones and in doing so they have revealed the cost of the upcoming phones prematurely.
The listing has now been removed but is still viewable via cache. Surprisingly the phones have been listed at a very expensive price that is roughly the same as the recently introduces iPhone 6S from Apple.
According to the now removed listing on Ecomputer, the Microsoft Lumia 950 cost around €659 or roughly $738 with current conversion rates and €749 or roughly $838 for the Microsoft Lumia XL.
This would put the large XL in the same price range as Apple’s iPhone 6S which is also sold at €739 in Germany and €749 in France. There isn’t an exact price for the iPhone 6S yet in Spain but it shouldn’t be significantly different from the prices in other parts of Europe.
Users are speculating that the listing price may be for a bundle or a set for the upcoming Windows 10 mobile handsets. Unfortunately, that isn’t confirmed in the Spanish retail listing which had not mentioned anything about accessories or any other inclusions for the price.
The Lumia 950 and the Lumia 950 XL are certainly expected to have high ends specs. The smaller 950 will be coming with a 5.2-inch 1440×2560 Quad HDdisplay along with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 808 chipset paired with 3GB of RAM and a 3000mAh battery.
The larger 950 XL on the other hand will be coming with a 5.7-inch Quad HD display along with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 810 chipset paired with 3GB of RAM and a 3300mAh battery. Both phones will be coming with expandable memory and Microsoft’s very own 20 megapixel PureView main rear camera and a 5 megapixel front facing unit.
It is yet unsure whether or not the listing on the Spanish website was intentional or not and if it wasa marketing ploy to create hype for the upcoming phones.
But the revelation of the prices for the upcoming phone certainly has a lot of users thinking if the price would really justify what they will be getting should they decide to purchase the upcoming phones when they are released.
