Microsoft cuts Lumia 950 and 950 XL prices in Europe; now €299 and €399

Following recent price cuts in the US and the UK, Microsoft has now permanently reduced the cost of its Windows 10 Mobile flagships in Europe. In some markets, it's also offering a free Display Dock.

Last week, Microsoft slashed 22% off the Lumia 950, and 15% off the 950 XL in the UK, three months after cutting their prices by 17%. It was the third permanent price cut for the two Windows 10 Mobile flagships there this year, and buyers are also being given a free Display Dock worth £79.99 with each handset.

But Brits aren't the only ones to see chunky reductions on the two range-topping Lumias. As TechBuzzIreland.com noted, the 950 and 950 XL both got €200 off in Ireland back in June, and Microsoft has now cut their prices further, by an additional €100 each.

The Lumia 950 now costs €299 - half the price at which it launched at the end of last year - while the 950 XL is now €399.

The reductions aren't limited to Ireland; the two devices are now identically priced in other eurozone markets too. In some countries, such as France, Microsoft is giving a free Dock worth €99 with at least one of the two handsets - but in some markets, like Spain, that freebie isn't available.
