If you’re planning to upgrade your phone, and you were thinking on getting one of the new Microsoft Lumia duo, then you can’t miss this new promotional offer. Currently, Microsoft is offering a free black version of its Lumia 950 when you purchase the bigger Lumia 950 XL.

However, you must hurry, the promotional offer is only available for a limited time through May 1st, 2016, or as always while supplies last.
In order to qualify for the offer, you need to purchase an unlocked Lumia 950 XL, which will cost around CA$849 — or $649 in the US. When you make the selection, you will be given the choice to get a Lumia 950 (black).

This is a great offer that you can’t miss. If you don’t have a use for the second phone, you can upgrade a family member or a friend, or you can sell it to get some money back. Alternatively, you can keep both phones, and use one as your primary mobile device and on the other you can install the Windows 10 Mobile Insider preview builds to test upcoming features coming to the device.
