Microsoft on Tuesday launched its Windows 10 Mobile-powered Lumia 950 and Lumia 950 XL flagship smartphones after months of speculation, alongside the budget Lumia 550. Both the flagships have been confirmed to be available in November, while the budget Lumia 550 is only due in December.

Shortly after the event, Microsoft India listed the dual-SIM variants of both the flagships as 'coming soon'. We can expect the company to announce the pricing of both the handsets near India launch. Microsoft India however has not listed the Lumia 550 on the company's site, tipping that the budget handset may be launched in the Indian market at a later stage.

The Microsoft Lumia 950 has been priced at $549 (roughly Rs. 35,800) while the Lumia 950 XL comes at $649 (roughly Rs. 42,300), we can expect the Indian pricing for the dual-SIM variants to remain around these prices.
