Microsoft unveiled the Lumia 650, its third Windows 10 Mobile device, earlier this month ahead of MWC in Barcelona.We got our hands on the smartphone at the trade show, and you can check out our initial impressions of the smartphone in the video.

The Microsoft Lumia 650 was priced at a suggested retail price of $199 (approximately Rs. 13,500) before local taxes and subsidies and is now on sale in select European markets. With this pricing, Microsoft is looking to target budget-conscious buyers.

At launch, the Redmond giant stressed that the Lumia 650 would offer consumers the "perfect balance between work and personal needs." Much like other Windows 10 devices, the Lumia 650 packs Microsoft suite of productivity apps including Office apps, for creating and editing documents on-the-go; OneDrive, for cloud storage, and Cortana, Microsoft's personal assistant.

Considering Microsoft India listed dual-SIM variant of the Lumia 650, we can expect the dual-SIM model to debut in the country.
