Lumia 950 and 950xl downgraded before launch
Table of contents:
In an attempt to win over users of high-end smartphones, Microsoft has decided to lower the price of its flagships Lumia 950XL and Lumia 950 even before launch. A move that should allow you to better compete against high-end Android devices.
The reduction has occurred in the first place in the United Kingdom leaving the Lumia 950XL for 530 Pounds and the Lumia 950 for 450 Pounds, a reduction of 50 Pounds with respect to the price initially announced in both cases. Something that British users are sure to appreciate. Now we can only wait to see if the reduction applies to the rest of the countries.
We remind you of the specifications of both terminals:
Lumia 950 XL
The Microsoft Lumia 950XL arrives with a 5.7-inch AMOLED ClearBlack display with 2560 x 1440 pixels (518 dpi) Quad HD resolution. Inside we find a powerful Qualcomm Snapdragon 810 processor at a maximum frequency of 2 GHz and the Adreno 430 GPU, a set that generates a lot of heat, so Microsoft has opted for a heatpipe with a steam chamber to cool its flagship smartphone. Accompanying the processor we find 3 GB of RAM and internal storage still unknown.
The terminal is powered by a 3, 300 mAh battery with “Qi wireless charging” fast charging and wireless charging technology and a USB 3.1 Type-C connector that promises to recharge 50% in just 30 minutes.
As for the software, we find Windows 10 Mobile, thanks to which we can turn the smartphone into a complete desktop PC thanks to the Dock Continuum accessory that offers the possibility of connecting a keyboard and mouse as well as HDMI and DisplayPort video outputs. An idea very similar to that pursued by Canonical and its Ubuntu Edge that did not finally see the light, once again Microsoft and Windows are ahead.
As for optics, the terminal does not disappoint with a 20 megapixel rear camera, triple LED flash and Carl Zeiss technology to offer the best quality and capture videos at 4K resolution. On the front we see a 5 megapixel camera with an LED flash.
Lumia 950
The Lumia 950 sees its screen reduced to about 5.2 inches while maintaining the same Quad HD resolution of 2560 x 1440 pixels and AMOLED and ClearBlack technologies . Its processor is also a very powerful Snapdragon 808 (without the heatpipe) and attached to the same 3 GB of RAM.
As for the optics, the only difference with its older brother is the absence of the LED flash in the front camera, in the rear everything remains exactly the same. Finally we find a 3, 000 mAh battery and the very same Continuum Dock accessory .
