Microsoft has listed its Lumia 650 on Amazon India for Rs 16,599. The device has already been launched in US and Canada. It was officially announced back in February but didn’t make it India right away. That’s probably because of the price. it’s worth noting that the handset is ideal for businessmen and not regular consumers. And it’s also worth noting that the smartphone is being offered by local retailer and not Amazon’s Microsoft Store. The shipment begins from April 30.
Microsoft Lumia 650 features a 5-inch OLED 720p display with an AMOLED panel. Microsoft is pretty proud of their creation and calls it “our most beautiful screen ever” … “at this price point”.
