14 DAY TRIAL // Microsoft has already confirmed a launch event for October 6, and we're certain that the Redmond-based company will unveil its next flagship smartphones, the Lumia 950 and Lumia 950 XL.
There are many Windows Phone fans who can't wait to get their hands on one of these devices, but the truth is that they won't come cheap.
Still, they won't be more expensive than the other flagship smartphones already available on the market, like iPhone 6S and iPhone 6S+, for example.
According to French blog SmartphoneFrance.fr, sources familiar with Microsoft's plans claim that the Lumia 950/950 XL remain quite expensive, despite the fact that the company wants its devices to appeal to customers more than others in the same specs range.
The good news is that at least one of them, the Lumia 950 XL, will come bundled with €200 worth of accessories. Although the sources do not mention any of the accessories included in the package, there's a list that leaked a few months ago.
The Continuum dock might be included in the package
The list contains codenames like Valora, Munchkin, Murano and Ivanna/Livana. One of them, Munchkin, is, in fact, a Continuum dock that comes with 3 USB ports, an HDMI and display port, as well as another one for an independent power supply meant to recharge your phone's battery.
This Continuum dock is said to cost around €100 ($100), and we suspect this might be one of the goodies included in the bundle. Another accessory that might bundled with the Lumia 950 XL is a Treasure Tag codenamed Ivanna/Livanna.
Another piece of information revealed by the source is the fact that the smartphones will be available for pre-order a few days after their unveiling, and they should go on sale on October 28.
They will definitely be launched in the United States and some European countries, but there's no telling if Microsoft will be rolling them out worldwide.
