As the title suggests, I am selling my Microsoft Lumia 950XL Dual SIM India (black, boxed brand new condition) and would not mind shipping it to wherever you are across the world. I am based in Bangalore, India. It comes with a manual, box, orange and black (original) case. Not a single scratch on the device and the front camera is slightly degraded in low light due to age. Negotiable, looking for 15,000-16,000 rupees. Feel free to DM :)

As mentioned before, thank you for the overwhelming support, feedback and criticism for the app through the reddit comments! I have taken all of you guys' feedback and worked on almost all of them for this release. "Zune Theme" and "Fix for background play upon lock state" will come out in v1.3.0.0 after a few weeks, stay tuned :)
