Two of the most celebrated smartphones this fall include Lumia 950 by Microsoft and iPhone 6S by Apple.

iPhone-vs-Lumia

Microsoft Lumia 950 although not a very hard contender to Apple iPhone 6S is graded up to run rings around many other smartphones in the market, and it will definitely open the window for Microsoft in future mobile phone market.

Apple hasn’t touched up its design in the new 6S generation, but it still transcends Lumia 905. On the contrary, with its more vibrant colors and a 5.2-inch QHD OLED display Microsoft Lumia 905 is undoubtedly a winner in the  resolution game.

Apple launched iPhone 6S last month and it is already available for sale, whereas Microsoft announced its Lumia 950 just this month and it is likely to appear in the market in November this year.

Lumia 905 will be priced at $549 as per estimations, whereas iPhone 6S prices at $649, $749 and $849 for its 16, 64 and 128GB variants respectively.
