Pleasing colors, high resolution, good low-light performance thanks to the large F1.9 aperture and 5th-gen optical image stabilization system, triple-LED flash that adapts to the scene, support for 4K video recording, fast camera startup with the dedicated camera button - both phones hardly put any foot wrong in this department. Most Lumia phones come with a good camera, and the 950 and 950 XL are not exceptions.
The UI remained fast and fluid, something that Windows Phones have always done well and apps launched and loaded very quickly. None of the things that I’ve tried during the hands-on stressed either SoC. Really, you’d be hard pressed to notice the processing power difference between the Lumia 950 and 950 XL. The 950 also uses Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 808 hexa-core chip clocked at 1.8GHz (also found in the likes of the LG G4 and Motorola Moto X Style), while the 950 XL has a Snapdragon 810 (presumably, version 2.1) octa-core chip clocked at 2.0GHz. The Lumia 950 has a 5.2-inch Quad HD (2,560 x 1,440) screen the 950 XL sports the same resolution but comes in at 5.7 inches. The two key differences lie in the screen size and processor. These include a 20-megapixel rear camera with triple-LED flash, a 5MP front-facing camera, an iris scanner that supports the Windows Hello biometrics framework (in beta form on the phones at the moment), 3GB RAM, 32GB storage with microSD card expandability, fast charging over the USB-C port, as well as built-in wireless charging support (requires optional wireless charger). For the uninitiated, the Lumia 950 and 950 XL share identical components under the hood for the most part. Those following the leaks should already have a good idea what to expect. Today is the day Microsoft unveils the Lumia 950 and 950 XL, two high-end handsets running the brand spanking new Windows 10 Mobile. But sorry, they just aren’t worthy of a flagship billing.īut today isn’t one of those disappointing days. In the past year, our hopes for a real flagship Windows Phone device were repeatedly dashed whenever a new Lumia was announced. We, especially ardent Windows Phone/Lumia fans, all know how it went. A closer look at the Microsoft Lumia 950 and 950 XL
