Microsoft Lumia 950 - User Reviews

  • did it support whatsapp ?

  • Using phone today. Moved from Nokia 5 to Lumia 950. And i love it. It has not much app, but for me it's ok. Youtube, facebook, gmail is working. Camera is great. Memory and storage also good. Nice fact that you can change phone battery by yourself. Gonna us phone as much as i can.

  • I loved Windows phones. my first one was the Samsung SCH-i600 back in 2004; beautiful phone. after that one more Samsung and HTC window phones. Unfortunately for Windows the Apple and Android era came very aggressive. Apple (fancy) became huge and Android was ok. windows didn't develop apps and lost the competition. Even though my last windows phone was the Lumia 950. very nice phone with no apps and no battery. Yup, the battery didn't last 4 Hrs and for a working phone its was the worst. I am super happy with my Pixel 3, waiting for the 4.

  • I agree, with the comments praising Windows phone. I had a Windows 6 and then 8 and 8.1. The experience of use was so much better than Android and iOS which I now use. The reason I moved to iPhone was an app I rely on daily was no longer updated for Windows phone and there is no equivalent on Windows mobile platform. I also agree that if MS had gone ahead with the running of Android apps I would not have changed. Download on Android and Apple and it can be very difficult to find the files. Win 10? Download Folder. I would like it not to RIP but to be resurrected with Android or iOS app compatability.

  • I know. This is so sad. I love the windows OS. Microsoft should have kept going with the Android app bridge. This is a great phone. It's perfect if you don't use a lot of apps.

  • Are these phones still available in Kenya. Currently amusing Lumia 535 and I need an upgrade. Windows phone so far are the best.

  • Agree with you, I also received the latest update. The camera can still fight with newer Android smartphones of today. App gap is also not a problem for me and I love the fact that I can disable a certain app from running on background. Try to do that on standard Android.

  • What a shame. I am in the process of going Android after many years of Lumia 820/930 and 950. I will always remember what a nice operating system Windows was and how I enjoyed the phones. Android is a necessary evil to me! Will try my best.

  • Just got an update as of 17th of June 2019. This phone still has some good specs compared to todays phones. Very good 20 MP camera and 2K Amoled screen. Still copes well with most tasks and battery & heat problems are long gone. In 2015 it was ahead. Of course I'm missing out a few apps but using a website usually works and I dont have to worry so much about permissions.

  • Have had this phone for a short while, love it. I'm going to keep using it as long as i can, until it can't do its job anymore. I'm hearing that MS is killing Win 10 phone support in June 2019, and that apps will start going dark. It's a shame, as this is a really good phone, aside from the usual MS glitches. The 20mp camera is one of the best things about it. I think that if MS had stayed with mobile phones, especially with the great specs like this one, they eventually would get a bigger share of the market. Guess that's what we get for corporate greed.

  • LOL...Having same problem here bro. :)

  • Still using my Lumia 950 in April 2019. I'll eventually have to upgrade to another phone (probably a Nokia Android) by 2020, but I love this phone so much it will be hard to let go. The 20mp Zeiss Pureview camera and resolution quality are what keeps me on this platform. Even compared with my wife's iPhone 8, the Lumia produces better quality photos and a much more natural HD mode. After I find an upgrade I am probably going to still keep this around just for taking pictures.

  • Is it works 4g LTE network

  • Microsoft Lumia 950 and Nokia: The first phone in 2015 with Type-C charge, iris scanner, wireless charging, continuum, glance screen, double tapping on screen for unlocking and relocking, and many other technologies, who came later in other operating systems. This Great 4 years old Phone i still using everyday as a daily driver. I waiting for the next level of technology from microsoft with a surface phone...

  • No matter what happens I'm still using my windows phones. Perfect for pictures and only specific apps allowed... very secure.

  • I have loved windows phones for years. I am not big on apps, so the lack of selection there doesn't bother me. However, I do take a lot of pictures. The way that windows handles organizing pictures by month and year, being able to navigate to any given month/year by just tapping, is invaluable to me. Also, the way the cloud works to back up all my files is awesome. My word, excel, and pdf files sync seamlessly with my surface tablet and desktop. Whenever I switch phones, I can use the "transfer my files" app to transfer contacts, and text messages. Additionally, the live tiles on the home screen make things much easier to navigate. I still have much love for the Windows phones!

  • Very decent specs for 2015 actually.

  • This phone would have been really good for 2015. It's just Windows 10 Mobile itself that ruins it. Very much a disappointment. :/

  • i love windows phoneit ver strong so windows shouldnt stop cuz am a great windows fun

  • Umm why ? To text only

  • That's androids

  • My 5 yr old plays with it 1 app

  • Good in its day dead now n no apps

  • In terms of entertainment apps, yes... hardly any. But I doubt if Windows Phone users are into entertainment.

  • Well that's cuz obsolete now , few die hards live in hope. Phone just camera now...

  • How? No apps hardly ...

  • I think Nokia 1 better has apps

  • Lumia 950XL is a great phone.I am using since last two years. No problem.Very stable phone.Still original battery is ok.It last for 24Hrs. I don't need more App.Basic apps are sufficient. Windows update is problem. I am going to use this phone till it works.

  • Great camera and amoled screen with a huge res. Battery and a lack of apps is the only downfall. The battery tends to lose its longevity after 1 years use. They are replaceable however. I'm on my 3rd replacement battery now.

  • I dont think so!

  • i love windows phone unique. great phone still use until nowww.

  • I used it 18 months. The battery is quite weak. The photos are great. The screen is fine. The stability is ok. There weren't any randomly reboot. I sold it because the key apps are killed.

  • Basically a great phone, but randomly shuts down same as my partners 550. To bad that there is no service anymore, no app's supported, app store is becoming empty.

  • This!

  • I have it from 15 months ago. My Lumia 950 is very good and fast. Pictures and videos are satisfying good. The only problem is with crashing apps. There is no more support/development of applications. Regarding the battery: I feel that it's weaker, but it sustains a day with moderate usage...

  • Ok thanks a lot. I was thinking of buying one

  • 14 months

  • How many years or months do you use this?

  • My Lumia 950 works still great, have one little issue now, outlook agenda isn't synchronizing well on my phone. Further on camera is still very clear, marvelous pics and films I've made with it. The lives tiles are for me very easy working with, everything you use many times you can add to your home screen. Due to policy of Microsoft several apps are not working anymore, but everything is still working online, so for me it's no problem. Love the W10M system, synchronizing directly with my pc !

  • To those who think about buying Lumia 950 because other old Lumias were great... dont do it. I had myslef Lumia 625, it served me for like 5 years, it was actually awesome, for its price it was outstanding, more than you expect. Got Lumia 950, WP10 is complete garbage, the phone has 6 cores and 3gb ram and it sometimes become super slow. Battery time is a joke. Downgrade to WP 8.1 is impossible, so you are stuck with worst OS possible which had no love neither from Microsoft nor App developers. The only good thing it has is a camera.

  • Once,I have nokia lumia 625 5years ago,just having problem with camera turn black and keep go to home screen..then using android...but lately,it just making me so addict to game online distrurb my focus to other thing...maybe I should get this wp to control me.hehe..btw,window good depend on how we use.

  • please dont buy.... the phones feature is awesome but the battery service is worst ever i have seen... in 2 yrs i have changed battery 4 times .....

  • In india

  • Can anyone suggest a place ...where this phone is available to buy this phone?

  • Hey it costs just $169, what else do you expect at that price.

  • yes john, I have both the 4s right beside me now. The 4s camera is 21mp... wow 1mp more... BUT it does not have OIS or even EIS...really this is a 2017 phone! Sure the screen is .3" bigger but its only a 1080p. It does not have FM radio. The 4s does not have dual sims. And the 4s is WAY TOO LIMITED on usable 3G, 4G and LTE bands (I travel with my phones).

  • Is this 950 dual sim available in indian market??

  • Yes, of course

  • i have a problem with my phone it suddenly get black screen and i have to reset the phone by pressing power and volume down to restart it keeps doing this several times every day, and i wave anther problem with the battery some times when i plug in the charger after few minutes it became full charge and when i plug out it it remain not charged yet i need help if any body can help me i would be grateful because i love this phone

  • Have you seen the Alcatel Idol 4S Windows? It has Snapdragon 820 processor, 4GB RAM, 64GB Storage expandable via microSD slot up to 128GB, 21 megapixel rear camera, 8 megapixel front camera, comes free with VR headset and has high quality glass and metal build. And despite of better specifications than Lumia 950 and 950 XL it costs $169 in Microsoft Store. Next time just get your information checked before commenting randomly.

  • Why John?... please explain?... I think you maybe comparing the Alcatel IDOL 4S to the Microsoft 650 and not the Microsoft 950 because actually the (Nokia) Microsoft 950 overall has way more +++ features... So please explain why is the Alcatel IDOL 4S is better? Thanks, Bob

  • Can i buy this phone in 2018??

  • Don't buy this device, better go for Alcatel Idol 4S Windows if you want a good Windows 10 Mobile device. It costs just $169 in Microsoft store and is way better than this phone.

  • There is nothing wrong with your English, I know many people that cannot spell and only are able to communicate with short words in text messages, I envy you being able to speak more than one language, good look to you.

  • the issue is your battery. I recommend replacing with an OEM as the chosen manufacturer by MS is pretty awful. But at ~20 bucks new battery that isn't worthless is far cheaper than an iPhone X

  • No lucky, mine work perfectly...

  • The 950 is a really good phone. It works perfectly for me. Bluetooth (sometimes pb, like android and others, i have android too), word, excel, onenote, etc..., remote contrôle, notification, 20mo photo, beautiful screen, battery that u can change, easy to display on a tv, with the dock it's perfect, teamviewer etc like other. Select text is easy than android, copy and paste too, synchronisation with windows 10... People are crazy. I bought it 300€ in begin of 2017. Is just the best. I use it every day, for private and work.

  • I have small doubt. Microsoft lumia 950 . Were is available Device online store or offline store

  • Thank you

  • My friend, read the specifications of the Microsoft Lumia 950!

  • Microsoft Lumia 950 4g or 3g

  • This divice Microsoft 950. 4g mobile or 3g mobil

  • This is the best phone I have ever had! Only minus is that there are fewer apps in the store, but if you compare Android with this in other areas then Android is just shit! The way of working at Windows Mobile is really luxurious compared to Android! Continiuum also works very well, just a pity that there are not many apps for it. Sorry for my bad english (I am from Belgium and I speak Dutch)

  • You don't have a dud, this phone is crap!! sent mine to MS for repair, came back no fault found and going to charge me if I send it back again! issues are, poor bluetooth still!! poor battery life, problems opening phone, keeps rebooting, freezing, reboots when using camera and does it very slowly, randomly deletes my photos!! I could go on but you'll all get bored. Bottom line is it is a terrible phone with little or no support from MS! I will never by a windows phone again!!

  • For better battery life

  • Fixed Bluetooth connectivity issue in car!! Don't charge or connect through the USB port. That's it. It will work fine!

  • If you have fast battery drain, random reboot and over heat problem with any Windows phone devices this not related to Windows 10 Mobile or any build. This is just because most of the Windows Phone devices are older than a year or two so the battery is expired. Replacing the battery will fix fast battery drain, random reboot and over heat problem of Windows Phone. I had same problem, I replaced mine now I don't have any problem. I highly recommend you to replace your battery if you have same problem 🔋.

  • Try getting an update using Wifi before doing the battery. ATT messed up some of the updates and I had issues as well. No longer an issue since the update.

  • I really hope this works,buying a new battery next week. It's been rebooting for over a month now, after I updated the software....sad for me, I dumped Apple for this and bought all gadgets thinkable, continuum and co...

  • No it's them false promises 10 sucks both of and phones , surface crap also. Go Google Chromebook and andriod I'm loving it ...Wouldn't touch Microsoft again monkeys run that show

  • I have had this phone for over a year now, so have given it a good chance and I have had windows phones for the last 5 or 6 years and have loved them, but this one is a real stinker. The software is terrible as I have to turn it off to reset the software on a daily basis as apps like Spotify keep glitching. I keep having Bluetooth issues, especially when connecting to the car, but this could be the Nissan Connectivity? I also have issues with unlocking the screen and sometimes have to press the unlock button multiple times before it will unlock. The speaker is rear mounted and not very good quality and the unit does get very hot if you work it which drains the battery quickly. On a positive, if your main objective is a good camera, then look no further, the one on this phone is brilliant. Not sure if I have a dud but this has put me off ever again buying a Microsoft phone. Oh, and there are very few apps!

  • Buy a New battery. Ir worked for me

  • Don't worry officially dead now as News today by Microsoft.

  • you must have a lemon..mine works great!

  • The best phone ever camera wise, phone wise, and overall it's a rare gem among phones and if you know the specs its still way ahead of the iphone except the chipset qual 808 but it got that phone beat everywhere else.

  • OK Caledos Runner now runs again without problem. Microsoft maps does not compare with Google Maps. It' s a pitty that a large company like Microsoft can't make a competitive mobile software.

  • Devs or google have given up long time ago!!! making updating apps

  • Wait for developpers to update their apps. Google maps belongs to... Google and unless they change their mind, they won't port their apps to Windows phones. You got maps from Microsoft by defaut on this phone and some alternative maps app on the store.

  • Reset factory.

  • its dead windows mobile thats why!

  • The worst phone I ever had. It reboots by itself, it freezes, it overheats. No new applications and those that were working, stopped after some updates. Overall I do not recomed it.

  • which lumia got damaged ... please mention my L830 camera got twice damaged after updating to win 10 even in slow ring

  • What a crap....After the last updates Caledos Runners , Runtastic , Run the map ..don't work...Only Fitbit works...Runkeeper,Strava are not even available in windowsphone. FB,Messenger are tragic ....with a long delay... Google apps like google maps aren't available... Rip windowsphone..never again.

  • I have a doubt.my Lumia 950 is booting itself and it gets automatically locked.and it shows that " please connect to the charger at least 2 hours then restart the device for further use. whats the problem..?is that the updating issue or board issue..please relpay

  • Yes, actually, very good phone, I have no probs with it and I happen to really like Windows. BUT I have always had and wanted FM radio, and GSM says it has it, BUT is does not! The XL does but not the regular, which is annoying because good though it is; AND I waited and got it unlocked for only $399, I would never have bought a phone without FM. I have to use my previous 930 for that. So now will prob get the Nokia 8 next, which is Android, but it doesn't look like any more Windows phone will be coming.

  • Very Bad phone. Touch was not working properly , now mobile is heating up and plus battery problem.

  • Best phone I have ever owned. Done with the i's and androids. The best advice I can deliver is to give this a go. It has facial recognition and no home button so why wait for an i8. I have found an app for everything. Maps is better than googles flagship which surprised me. and good on full GPS.

  • Rear High quality camera. Front camera is not that much quality

  • Get lost troll ;p

  • Cuz she dead.

  • Win 10 is so bad that the first android is better then it

  • It support Jio volte future

  • windows phones are ore reliable .may be because i have nokia lumia 535 .i am in windows insider fast ring .i dont know anything about coding . hell yeah its true these are as reliable as basic nokia phone models

  • You are right. Mine is always in 4G+, that's so weird

  • Like you were replied, update your phone and remove unnecessary apps. There must be one draining your battery. Mine lasts 2 days at least if not more.

  • windows OS willnot support in network speed (2g,3g,4g).hardware also not good. Microsoft failed in world market and they stoped mobile phone prodection.

  • I think it's better to update, mine without using lasts about 30 hours !

  • Guys can anyone help me with this my phone is overheating and battery drains too without any uses its behaving lyk its having a 1700mah battery should i update it to latest or i need to go to service center?

  • Hi, i understand and agree you. That phone is so much underrated / underhyped, it didn't get the attention it really deserves. Everything works great and smooth. My Android phones feel clunky next to it.

  • Just bought the phone 2 weeks ago. And works great in every way. I have easily 2 days of battery. You might want to reset and update your phone, and also try at least for one day to not install whatsapp. You may have too many contacts spamming uselessly and draining your battery (just like FB)

  • I'm surprised Facebook havn't given up on it, I love their Android app full features!! Reactions Most banks have given up

  • I feel bad for you, prob spent $400 on it, sadly Msoft dont care about phones no more updates/ apps etc..future is in Iphone/Android.

  • I suggest you buying new phone and leave this peace of junk.

  • Update your phone and make a reset after updating.

  • I wanna ask you question. I got this mobile since last ten months. But i never have whole day battery back up. My day start with 8 am and my battery is down to 20-30 percentages by around 2-3 pm. Screen brightness is 50 percentage, have not installed games. I am not used to watch many videos on mobile. call are very less, around 8-10 calls during that time. Whatsapp is the only application, which is actively being used. No facebook. Location service is disabled. Can you suggestive me something ?

  • Guys, is there any app that could be connected to a fitness band other than the mi band and Microsoft band app. Because mine is a Dialog band. Your response is highly appreciated!

  • Ridiculous. Who told you that these apps are leaving windows 10 platform? Please keep and share correct information.

  • I used to have Lumia 610, 630, 930 and now I am having 950 for a year and half and I really love it! It gives me everything what I need. I call, I text, use apps like WhatsApp, Skype, Instagram, Facebook and Messenger (these last two are bit slower, but I do not mind, because I am addicted to them). I use maps a lot, Outlook, Fitbit and I take pictures a lot (perfect pictures that I can use for presentations and for brosures/posters in our company). I corrected so many thesis on this phone by using Office and Adobe. I love that I do not have to charge it every day. Wifi and cellular data work perfectly fine to me. I am really happy having this phone.

  • what about camera is it really good................ rep

  • There is no longer a fm radio app, which sucks I know. The best 2 radio apps I've found is Tunein radio, and I Heart radio. They're both great, you can't go wrong with either one, but I just use the I heart radio app I like it.

  • Windows Mobile is the platform used by WhatsApp to test all new development... all the features first exist on Windows Mobile before they're ported to Android and iOS, so please post correct information. Skype is a Microsoft product itself and is fully supported on Windows Mobile (it is dropped on old Windows Phone 8.1 devices, but as well on many other devices like BlackBerry, Samsung Smart TV's, ...).

  • are you serious ???? whatsapp and facebook and skype gonna leave that plateforme and you still happy ??

  • i love my lumia 950 perfect phone.

  • can you say if any fm radio app that works on 950?

  • Android phones are handsome, iPhones are charming but windows phones are reliable.

  • Never buy Windows phone, updating phones also damage the camera, so ridiculous.

  • why on earth would u use them during update, takes 20sec to update, turn of the app updates, and check manually once a week i do easy pzy

  • I had many phones. I start with the Windows phones with low cost Lumia 520. It was the first "smart" phone that actually worked even after a year. All my Android phones slow down significantly after that time. The latest phone I have bought is Lumia 950. I don't bother to switch off WIFI, LTE, navigation, ... and the battery last whole day. It may get worm on prolonged use but I have plastic protection around it and this is expected. The updates are made in the background and the phone is functional at all time. Even Windows updates notify user for restart only. Android devices make updates twice a week for 20+ apps I don't need and they become unresponsive during the update process (hours of frustration). Windows phone has all apps that I need out of the box therefore only Microsoft and its affiliates can track my communication but not a next door boy with too much spare time. If you don't mind games, if you know why you have a smart phone, and if you want a peace of mind for protection then the Windows phone is all you need. It has compass, it has offline navigation's maps and turn-by-turn navigation, it has great camera, Office, Outlook, Skype, ... all I need in one secure package. ;-)

  • Wow, you got it right at the start you big spender you! Yeah I got some Bluetooth gear and a good miracast receiver, to play a little with continuum. Should be good for travelling, maybe a little Netflix around the home. I'm hoping feature2 rejoins the main dev branch soon, because the fall creators update windows features like Cortana skills and "timeline" will be boss on a windows phone. Already picked out 27 apps and games I want to install :P Never had a camera this good, nor a screen on a phone. My old phone is 2013, and midrange at that. First time windows 10 mobile user too, although I use windows 10 on desktop and tablet (used to use android on a tablet, not going back there!).

  • Had my Lumia 950 for about two years now. It's a pretty awesome device. I use the continuum feature every day for work. It's amazing that a phone can become a full desktop

  • Getting this beauty this weekend. Looking forward to it.

  • Lumia 950 works well for me. No issues. Happy with the phone and all apps. Biggest problem is finding a canvas holster that has a secure belt clip.

  • Who cares

  • Windows phone version. 💩💩💩&#128­701;🚽🚽Without warning, it overheated while watching Netflix. You could smell hot plastic. Metro PCS showed me the scorched or burnt areas on the board. Warranty no help either. Nokia won't exchange it.

  • am using Ubuntu 16.10 LTS on my laptop as a personal use but at work i have to use Win 10

  • Been like this for years!!!!!, why i dont even use 10 on a pc

  • People still use windows? lol. I thought id peek in here dying breed. Android nougat all the way !!!!!!!!!!!

  • I suppose you wanna do the hard reset. If it so, go to the All settings -> System -> About and on bottom you will find the option you need. Be careful, this will erase all your data. Maybe you want backup your personal information before you run the reset.

  • I have been using this phone for sometime now and have no problem but after some updates, I realised my camera 📷 shakes when I wanna take pics and sometimes make my pics blur. Pls I need help how to fix this

  • How to reset the lumina 950

  • Bye bye Windows phone, bye bye windows appliaction store, farewell windwos crap concept. Many thanks for killing Other potential OSs which was and still better than this crap concept. Thanks for attaching alot of people and let them fall into thins mud. Many thanks for being non supportive to this OS. Special Thanks to stupid Elop who destroyed Meego after one year and for what for Windows Crap which then ran away and ditched it.

  • Get second hand lumia 930, great phone and does not cost much now. If digitizer works on your 640 you can try to "fix" it with scren protector, not cost much to try.

  • If you want more storage, faster processor, more RAM, better quality speakers and better build quality then you can go for Alcatel Idol 4S Windows, it costs just $288 at T-Mobile store, and unlike other phones available from T-Mobile it's actually factory unlocked. However it doesn't have removable battery, bigger and cumbersome 5.5 inch screen and although it's factory unlocked still then T-Mobile makes you pay $25 extra for their SIM and go through all the SIM activation process while buying the device even if you don't need the T-Mobile SIM.

  • Really don't know what are you talking about. Mine 950 lasts full day of constant use and Edge is one of the best mobile browsers around. Perhaps your device is faulty one?

  • My best ever mobile phone, with windows mobile 10!

  • The worst phone ever! Every app has alot of bugs. The Edge is the worst browser ever. I am light internet user and it drains battery by attacking it with 85%!!! Half apps are totally useless and the other half are full of bugs. So poor and shameful performance of OS made by Microsoft. Everything that has Microsoft signature should be avoided without any doubt.

  • Turn off automatic brightness

  • Hi yes i have had numerous problems with my 950 , worst phone ive ever had, with this screen problem , i have it too , But it seemed only to start after i changed the color of the tile screen, at present im using a solid green color and it hasnt reared its ugly head again, I wish id bought iphone 6 , it also is slow to upload photos and gets hot with no action or warning.

  • bug bug bug alert again !!!!update camera 2017.125.41.0 dng 800*600 no tx microsoft

  • Ive been using microsoft lumia.it helps alot. I fall inlove with my lumia.but i mourn when it fall over and brreak

  • Try Lumia 830

  • this phone was so great the camera is perfect (only main camera, the front camera wasn't good at all) great storage, but the battery is very weak it didn't last 5 hrs. if i turned on mobile data and actually use it in calls and chat.. etc. and of course the lack of app. in the store and the worst version of the existing ones was a nightmare otherwise it was one of the best phones up until few weeks it kept restarting itself on its own every time it's out of the charger. i reset the phone but still it kept doing that and every time it was restarted the battery goes down to 15% even it was fully charged. then yesterday the screen went full black no lights nothing even when it's open. i literally didn't do anything to the phone it went full crazy on its own.

  • I have a lumia 640 and loved it.I dropped it and the screen is slightly cracked. I like the windows platform and daughter is pushing me toward a Samsung Galaxy s6. I don't want to spend a lot of money. I would like a better camera and not much bigger than 5 inches. The phone comparison are confusing. I would like a replaceable battery. Are there other phones that compare to this one?

  • Backup to cloud and manually copy files over USB to a desktop, then do a hard reset via settings menu. Will not overheat and go back to normal without additional effort.

  • 2045 bugs be ironed out then.

  • Update it the latest version

  • Booo!!! I'm a zombie.

  • microsoft phone is dead

  • My Lumia 950 heating issue. What is the solution?

  • Gsmarena is no more using flash for 360 degree view, they have switched to html5, however you would need the latest Edge or Internet Explorer 9 browser to view it. Edge browser is only available on Windows 10 Mobile devices and Internet Explorer 9 is available only on Windows Phone 8.1 devices. In simple words yes you can view Gsmarena 360 degree view on Windows 10 Mobile and Windows Phone 8.1 devices but you can't view it on older Windows Phone 8, 7.5 and 7 devices.

  • Lumia devices may end but new OEM Microsoft Windows 10 Mobile devices have been already released in the market. Microsoft is doing what it does the best, licensing its OS to other manufacturers instead of developing their own devices. Anyway all the updates of Windows 10 Mobile are directly and equally provided across all Windows 10 Mobile devices by Microsoft. So it's no more necessary to buy Lumia any more. Go for Alcatel Idol 4S Windows, I am using it right now and I can safely say that Alcatel Idol 4S Windows is way better than Lumia. I bought mine from T-Mobile at mere $288, it's a dual-SIM device so I can use my AT&T sim in the second SIM slot, however if you want unlocked version than you would need to buy it Microsoft store at a price of $470

  • This phone is great. Not just about camera, continuum, and display. It's also about first smartphone using iris scanner. That's what i called sophisticate phone, not just smartphone. Win 10 mobile is perfect for this phone. If anyoje say there is a lot of bugs, just keep it update regularly.

  • yes 950 support volte

  • Just use Android and stop asking stupid Q. NOKIA ROXX !

  • Lumia 950 is it support VoLTE technology or not?.

  • Can this phone play the Web stuff that requires flash such as the 360 degree spin in the gsmarena reviews. My old windows 7.8 phone just has a blank space on the Web pages where this should be. My android plays it fine.

  • This is a software issue. Hopefully it's fixed in the next update

  • Hi, my screen on lumia 950, after few minutes of using, suddenly becomes darker. Then I have to turn off screen, and after I turn it on again, the screen is normal. After few minutes the same story. I tried everything in settings, but nothing helped. Please help!!!

  • This would be a business phone when there arent be about milion bugs on every single app. Company does not care about customers, why should we do? They develop their apps for Android and iOS previously, so they do not deserve every bought phone. Platform is a full of basic critical bugs. Advice to everyone who is thinking buying to think twice.

  • Not everybody needs 1 million apps . I got all the apps i need on my lumia 640 and will soon upgrade to the 950

  • No regret buying this phone over any android or iphones out there, this is perfect for business, coz it haz built in microsoft office app, and it works literally like a pc, and i never encountered any lag issues with this unit. Great phone.

  • Buy lumia 950

  • Go for the Lumia 950.

  • Hey guys, im going to high school in June, my sister wil bought me a 2ds and a game but i need a phone, i will be on math school so presentation will be expec, what should i get? Lumia 950 with continuum or moto z with projector which is expensive but i will get it in December so this would be alot cheaper but i need powerpoint, word and many more, should i pick this one with continuum or moto z with projector but android can also have word, powerpoint but more but i want more desktop version and Windows phone so badly(idk why im geting bored on ios and android) i dont care about games cuz i have a 2ds and the apps im gonna download probably be youtube and some google apps so Which i should get??

  • i just grabbed a cheap 640 LTE, blew me away how good it is. upgraded to win10 and it runs perfectly smooth. goodbye android and apple - i find this OS so easy and well designed imo.

  • I often get new updates for both the 930 and 630, good OS and Microsoft keeps on updating the OS all the time, really good.

  • Thanks indeed

  • Thanks indeed

  • Mine isnt and Msofty keep updating this horrendous beta of an OS called 10, i dont want 20 updates a day, and the Apps all crash Selling it, ill go back to my S7.

  • Go to settings > time and language > keybord > press and hold > delete the language you want . Good luck !!

  • Got the Lumia 950 yesterday , for the first impression the MS seems so great in compared with Android, but when i try to switch between keyboards to change the language i found there are 4 default languages which are already installed, I try to delete 2 of them which I don't need them but i didn't know what the way to do that, if any one help me in that, so thanks....

  • Hi, I use all the bank apps I need, so I don't need the internet for that. If you don't like Windows, it's your choice, everybody his own choice for phones. But the amount of apps is not the most important for me. Have a good day !

  • It seems that you have better idea of Windows Phones. Why can't we just accept that Windows OS on mobile is way behind Android and IOS and MS is even helping its OS. Agreed that it is free from junks and bloatware but we need to agree on the fact that it really fall behind in terms of apps. You seem not to be using banking website on Edge browser? Since developers are not at all interested in developing apps for Windows Phones, we do not have any other choice but to access online banking through our Edge browser. But here again it is a failure of OS. At least they can make Edge browser as good as Edge on PC so people like me can access online banking through their website in absence of apps. Do you have a solution of it?

  • You have no idea don't you? We have more updates every month then android and iPhone all together. I have all the apps I need and most important - there is no tone of junk on my phone. We just received a new update and everything works so smooth.

  • Lumia 950 is a great phone and with every new update works even better.

  • Yes, but after each updates those"pops" are less present. And appears only on some video.

  • Ok phone for simple everyday things like making calls, browsing net , text msgs .. But you are left WAY behind everybody else that are using android and iphones with lack of apps , updates , etc etc and this is the end of Windows phones so why would you even bother anymore ...

  • Do you think Nokia will pope Android on my 950?......if i knock on. door?. android easier my brain is messy with this.

  • No 10 is why

  • internet + wifi , that's why battery drain fast.

  • In some cases enterprise mobility management platform (e.g. MobileIron) may cause rapid battery discharge.

  • After last update 5 Giga approx. everything work fine no heat issue and battery become perfect all day long enjoying this smart device Lumia 950 is the best

  • Battery discharges really quick for some reason

  • With end of lumia phones Microsoft will have no option for mobile is. They will have to continue only with desktop products. Microsoft is too unreliable in smartphone world. 1st was Nokia who gave brand tag to Microsoft they broke deal with Nokia then thy introduced their own device again they are failure. Mmicrosoft lumia 950 is my last windows phone ever after this will shift to android.

  • Excellent phone. After a few months of usage no issues at all. Like all my previous Lumias it is solidly built and having applications such as Power Point makes my presentations much easier. Four and half stars from me.

  • Guys... I have tried 3 times hard reset and 4 times phone reset... this crap of shit ....still app are not opening and have to download all microsoft apps like mail, calendar, calculator etc etc... pls help me out

  • I cnt to hard reset afterr new update ....... pls help me

  • Plz bro

  • Guys, my whtsapp not working and Advance info also not opening... wht cn I do??? I restart the phn but even not working

  • It has good hardware. I don't mind the design even. Just that the software is pretty poor compared to android or ios. There are no apps except my essential ones and even they are poor. Wouldn't recommend this phone for anyone but the person looking for a good yet expensive feature phone. Nokia should've chosen android.

  • LUMIA 950 - I got windows OS new update (10.0.14977.1000).

  • Now you believe me??

  • That's awful its because they always upgrade builds you see, it's ongoing experiment. I myself use a 8.1 512ram phone they wont upgrade it. I was very disappointing in them basically saying STFU its a paper weight phone now. I can still use 8.1 and it's good and at least stable, this whole 10 business including computer see many people unhappy. They want you to have pc/phone in one, but i feel it's a long way of mobile perfection. Microsoft are new to phones, it is a risk unlike Nokia, you should wait for Nokia /Android will be amazing. I do think it's experimental and they will do what they did to 630 to this, then it also be dead handset. It ok if its $100 but $500 i think risky business. over and out

  • Yes my experience but fanbois get mad, lot of monee for this it feels like inferior OS and apps are made by amateur. I try to save people monee and better spent on like S7

  • I am did, i got my Iphone 7 its amazing! battery last me 3 days, i just came to give impression was all, this thing sucked battery like a bad sink hole. I think Leave mobiles to android and ios people. I lucky i only lost $100 re-sale, never again was a nightmare phone and navigation i needed a degree in phone. Well now i happy and life is easy again bye bye

  • Anyone with Windows 10, can you access network folder on NAS like ES File Explere?

  • Why are you here then? If you like iPhone 7, get outta here.

  • No whole thing is shite and buggy so are apps Im going to get a Iphone 7

  • software is good hardware is shit.

  • Hardware is good, software is shite.

  • I don't know if you are the most unlucky person in the world, or just a liar, or worse, the normal troll. But well, if you had problems with it, is commune sense to take it back;). And stop talking nonsense of how At&t send you to Microsoft. They sell branded phones, they, them selves are responsible for this devices. And let me guess, is Microsoft's fault that this other company did not do it job? And because of that, this same company will do a better job selling iphones? Your words are worse then fishy and really makes no sense of why would you be trying to bring some more customers to that crappy platform! It is not like, for the moment, their are a ton of windows mobile users... so, do yourself a favor, and let your useless words loos in some android forums;). Maybe your crapp will have more succes their;).

  • Lie. I have an S6 Edge and the screen does nothing when I touch the edge first.

  • You pay $600 for WP oh no to much........, maybe $100 tops to play with 10 is ongoing build forever, better to use that money for Samsung.

  • Do you have a glass screen guard on it? Take it off.

  • My Nokia 950 was a $600 piece of crap. had issues with the microphone, locking up, battery getting hot, connectivity to wifi, now it just shuts off at random and won't restart till you remove the battery for about 10 minutes or so. then you might get lucky or like the other day had to do it 5 times. at&t turned me over to Microsoft because they didn't have any batteries. now Microsoft has washed their hands of it. So if you want to pay $600 dollars for a piece of junk with no support to back it up this is the phone for you. or you could just get an iPhone for about the same

  • I got update for 10.0.14393.448 preview build

  • My Lumia950's speaker makes "pop" sounds from time to time when I use it. Does anyone have this problem?

  • im not afraid of BUG i buy a wp ! not afraid lost my time to reset i m make an update : yes i m fool.. little sad in fact im keep my m9 really safe phone WHY SO MUCH BUG

  • Comparing this lumia 950 to my S5. I hear bad reviews, why? I love the feel of this from the start. 32gb,20mp camera GGlass3 and alot of really quality features that i still don't know about yet because ive not used Microsoft phones and not used to windows10. I'm actually liking this better than my s5 android BUT android is way faster on basic connectivity functions. This lumia seems to have to connect alot longer before web screens load which is a little frustrating. It felt really nice out of the box and designer packaging gave me a nice experience but no headphones?and confused why power charger cable is a fixed cord. So far though i really like it. Only owned it 24 hrs but once i get used to it i think I'll like it more. Was surprised this time around.

  • I think I get bored with the brand MICRxxxxxx. ---OS monopoly---EVENTHOUGH i'm sure that the hardware is very good and high quality, spesiali with the best camera(NOKIA)...

  • Yes... the phone's hardware configuration is really excellent, but software support from Microsoft, is very bad. Further, Microsoft claims to discontinue their support. Hence, migrated to back to Android after 6 years.

  • Just remove the plastic shield, and the screen no more black, I've also get the updates

  • Who have problems adding new names and numbers of contacts on the Lumia 950

  • Dears I get it from DRC Congo, my problem is when I make a call, the screen is black and show nothing, other thing the update is so slow, 4% in one day I am afraid not to complete it

  • such a great phone. took the best pictures even better than all my iphone users friends. Colours are more radiant and brighter that made me proud i will be the one who will take group selfie since my phone took the best pics. but of course, that amount of greatness comes with a bit overpricing, since the bad thing about it is microsoft/nokia phones are incompatible devices to many apps, like Instagram, googledrive etc etc. but that's because why i chose nokia. because of its simplicity.

  • Excellent phone. But worst thing is Microsoft is discontinuing its lumia range of smart phones. It means company dsnt care about its customer just want to do what they like to do, 1st took Nokia but ended Nokia branding, then ending lumia range. Very disappointed by Microsoft's decision.

  • Yes, that is big problem. Nobody listens to customers and guys from Microsoft are not interested, they've bought Nokia mobile just for fun, and now selling it to Foxconn... Pitty, this is very good phone.

  • disable auto-brightness, i have the same problem, hope it will be solved soon.

  • Great phone, but there is not enough dev support, i get mad everyday with bluetooth connection problems (have to restart my phone), messenger hangs (have to restart my phone), spotify in offline mode (have to restart my phone), and if you think about it, there's no way to restart your phone, you have to turn it off, and on :) For everyday use, is ok, the camera is great, outlook/calendar, sms/skype...

  • maybe battery problem. (just change the battery and check it).

  • Try to reinstall OS (backup first!), if that doesn't help, take it to service.

  • Guys .. im having still same problem, when I on the phone screen not gets on quickly aftr 3 4 secends it wake up, I did reset lyk u said... but stil have same issue but not al the time, but when I switch on and off then its cming right after that again after 1 day giving same problem. ? Please help me out..

  • The best of phone hardware, best camera better than iphone 7 that newly breed. The only lack is apps (which like banking, and most apps some still buggy, less development and developer) other than that it just superb phone i ever used. Continuum just a hype but hey! its great and smooth experiences!

  • Really! Great news indeed!

  • Actually this is very decent OS! I'm using it for almost 20 hours of non-stop and installing tons of apps, it runs still very fast and stable. And much faster than Android. Are you sure your phone is not broken?

  • For ten years I was with iOS and Android, this is my first WP after four years (used briefly Htc 8s). And this is FANTASTIC PHONE! Fast enough, brilliant camera (one of the best on the market), qHD AMOLED with fine colour tuning, quick charging, really, really good phone. Plus modernized Windows (transparent tiles, black and white background, double tap wake/sleep, movable navigation bar, fast Edge, Glance option, wallpapers under moving and resizing tiles, file explorer, Here offline nav, quick Iris scanner etc. etc.) And now is very cheap. One minor minus is absence of notification led and the second, biggest designer mistake of this amazing phone - LOUSY BIG FAT BEZELS! Despite that, this is still one of the best phones even today. If they put small effort and made something nice as Htcs and Samsungs are, they've could make big impact on market and finally bring Windows Phone as a fine platform (which is much better than stupid Android!) to masses. But Microsoft missed oportunity. Again. I think that it can't be coincidentally. Or they hired idiots in designer team.

  • NEWS !!!!!!!! Whatsap video calling chat starts in windows mobile.

  • As a peace of hardware the phone is decent. But if device is considered as a package of software and hardware that make user experience together, this is not worth to buy and being annoyed all the time. OS is really not good, everything is slower, less smoother than you can find on other platforms. I don't want to occupy this section numbering concrete problems cause there are too many of them.

  • No you will not receive any notifications if you restrict background apps. As an when you access the one the notifications start raining. Thanks

  • I returns 2 950 to ATT because the lumia comes with defect on the modem hardware , this bug in the modem lock the communication between lumia and the cell tower when the signal is low. i replace with 950xl and no more problems

  • You storage location phone your problem solve

  • they did it huge bug.. sorry one more bug over these lumia : NO SOUND IN VIDEO ; gg microsoft dont buy it if you want dont loose time and money

  • No..does not mean everyones is ok. Read, understand, interpret, and then comment. Grade 2 sarcasim wont cut it. I said maybe he got a bad handset...All products in all aspects have their faults...all i said was MINE has not shown any of these faults. Maybe we must also look at users rather than always dissecting products✌

  • yours was ok? that must mean everyone's was! hey gsm, how about nand performance in these reviews?

  • Upgraded from Nokia Lumia 920( which is a great phone even now far much better than Microsoft Lumia 950)in March 2016 started heating up, draining battery too quick and send it in for repairs in June, came back still doing same thing. Sent it again and was replaced with a new one. Did the same thing until now I don't have that phone still being repaired. Microsoft Lumia 950 piece of garbage don't be tempted

  • do hard reset OS.

  • Wake up and smell the coffee...you think other phones are problem free...they have more serious issues....a least you MS Lumia wont blow up in your face. Further to your complaints i think you just bought a bad handset....Mine is perfect. PM

  • Ive been reading some of the comments on this phone and i am confused regarding the negative feedback on the phone. I changed from the Nokia Lumia 1020 to the MS Lumia 950..and wow..its awesome..got it for a month now and absolutley happy with it. Camera is amazing..panorama shots incredible, light, no problems from start. Microsoft will surely increase market share if this is the platform they are going to use for future phones. Well done MS. I,m sold.

  • Lumia 950- I got windows OS new update ( 10.0.14393.321).

  • Pls help me... My whtsapp not working from new update for whtsapp.. I deleted then again try to install but its not installing.... Wht cn i do

  • Yes, it has a compass.

  • Guy... do 950 have compass.....?????

  • Hi, if we off that background app lyk whtsapp viber imo , will get notifications when masg or call comes ???

  • How is the proformens after new update..?? Still I didt get update to south africa , my whtsapp not working after update..

  • Lumia 950 - I got windows OS new update (10.0.14393.221).

  • It did drop considerably. 950 dropped to $399 while ago but today it's $359 + free dock. Also AT&T version is only $298 (should be possible to unlock for free at AT&T).

  • first microsoft perches nokia than sale to chines company ,with nokia don't want but done by microsoft . every time microsoft or nokia always say there mobile design leak ? its means there design is best or "there design handset never come to consumer'"over all consumer become full

  • I recently upgraded to from the NOKIA 930 to the Microsoft 950, as i was told by the dealership that it is such a great phone to much disappiontment. What a terrible device. With the upgrade (on the first device), the battery did not last even one day, so I took the handset back. After the dealership informed me that there was indeed a default in the phone, they will replace the handset. In which they gave me a different MS 950. What a disgrace....the phone got so hot at times (without it being used) you can't even put the phone to your ear. Again I took the handset back and yip, once again the phone had a default. Nokia ain't Nokia if its not made by Nokia.....

  • The brand name(microsoft) not suitable for lumia phones .NOKIA is better than microsoft

  • Your average consumer doesn't care about Continuum.

  • It's utterly embarrassing for MS that they continue to over price their phones. While Google et al keep dropping their phones' prices, MS has barely budged with the 950 series.

  • Windows phones don't have a future no matter what Windows will do. These are simple phones but most people today go with the trend and look for tons of apps and performance (read Apple and Samsung). I for one don't care about all the fuss. I just need a simple to use phone with good battery life and loud enough call quality. That's all I need. And I have it with the Windows phone. $700 later, i wish i chose S7

  • PIECE OF GARBAGE!!! Windows 10 upgrade has rendered it worthless! How do u get the narrator off? It keeps telling me something is wrong with my SD card & it can fix it! Hoooy. it doesn't work either. I hv had a constant headache from trying to fix ALL the bad issues. Going back to an Android in AM. At least it will ring when I get a call or text! This piece of crap doesn't even hv a working GPS!!!

  • Windows 10 finally performs great on this phone!!! Worth to be bought!!! After latest updates, all big problems resolved, so there is no overheating, crash of apps and restarts the phone, everything performs excellent!!!

  • Lumia x50 series got 3 more years of support no doubt

  • Indeed its great phone no doubt

  • Hey guys i have been using lumia 950 since a month its a great phone in all aspects , FYI please format full phone after anniversary update and then use it , this will solve alot of problems like battery drain and heat issue and do not disable text messaging app from background otherwise you will not get any notification for it. Now mine last for a day with normal usage. Cheers

  • Yes,i agreed.good phone

  • Lumia 950 is very good phone. no any complaint , very good performance. if we have WhatsApp, imo, viber, skype aplications in this phone we should OFF these background apps. then we will get more good performance and battery life from this phone. ( go to settings - privacy - background apps ).

  • No that's incorrect. Lumia will be end of life but Windows 10 mobile continues and will keep getting updates.

  • It's now 299 euro including dock in the Netherlands on the Microsoft store, both black and white version.

  • After update just hard reset your cell and then use again and stop background apps except some your all issues will be solved

  • I was very happy with the Nokia Lumia 925, so I upgraded to the Microsoft Lumia 950 as soon as it got out. At first, it was a good experience, save a battery drain problem. But as Microsoft "upgraded" it, it became worse and worse to the point I cannot considering using it anymore for professional usage. It is unreliable, unstable, erratic and does what it wants. Sometimes, the screen does not react, leaving you infuriated to be unable to pick up an important phone call. One night, I was confronted to a life and death emergency on the road. I found out to my absolute dismay that the phone was in the process to upgrade itself... Watching the bar inch forward to pass an emergency call while a person is bleeding to death next to you is not an experience I wish to live again (miraculously the person survived). I am not counting the times when the phone seems normal but cannot receive calls because it expects a sim card code (of course, it rebooted at some point without asking, with superb disregard for scheduled time... Or not considering useful to notify the user that phone is offline). When you find out and the missed calls notifications start to pile in, you'd want to hurl the thing out of the window. The calendar management is pitiful, does not support google, and does not work well with... Outlook.com (it mixes up the accounts in manners nobody can understand). Continuum is a joke (better use an iPad with iCloud). Groove music is the worst player around. Pictures gallery does not remember where it was when you open a picture (letting you scroll down hundreds of pics to reeume browsing...). I stop here but the list goes on. I am not a geek. I chose the Lumia because at first it seemed simpler that an Android and better for work than the iPhone. I did not expect that I'd need any sort of technical skills to simply be able to use it when I need it or to make it behave in a common sense manner. To me, it was designed by people who are clueless about how a phone is used in a day-to-day manner. After 11 months of experience, I found that the user experience has considerably degraded, despite the blaring promises. I must say I LOVE Windows 10 on PC as it is a really good and simple system for non-specialists (who represent the majority). But on the Lumia, it is simply catastrophic. I think I will never buy another Lumia phone again unless significant and decisive improvements are made. To me, its lack of reliability is close to criminal (a mobile phone is not simply a mobile facebook terminal or a pocket entertainment console, gents. It is a communication device and communication is a very serious thing for many people). As of today, it would be suicidal to trust the Lumia with your life. Microsoft managed to mess up a very sleek piece of hardware into junk. If they were honest, they would write in big, bold letters on the box: THIS IS ONLY A TOY, DO NOT USE FOR ANY SERIOUS PURPOSE.

  • Lumia is the best device it has everything ,u need.

  • Yep..few ppl pull out of windows 10 Mobile, Future in Android now and IOS. Apps like ALLO and DUO are awesum.

  • it will get well itself after 6-7 time chargings and just stop all background apps in battery saver charge your device 2-3 time dnt go below 50%

  • Microsoft Lumia 950 Purchased 01 month back No words to decribe this device demerrits useless handset Extra limited features worst service Major syncing issues endless issues No solution from company end EVEN NO MARKET VALUE WHEN YOU WILL TRY TO SELL GARBAGE PHONE

  • You buying any Lumia phone is a BIG mistake ..They are ending the Lumia phones this December..which means even fewer apps and no updates ...

  • No more Lumia phones ..Thank god Microsoft is ending this junk that I owned myself called Lumia,so far behind other phones and it was hell owning one....Some Apps are also being pulled off by the company's ... Nokia made great phones over the years until they joined windows and then leaving altogether..Then windows destroyed itself with these terrible phones..

  • Oh buddy, this phone is available since end of 2015. Quickly go and grab it.

  • Microsoft is a unique smartphone company, Currently I'm using Microsoft Lumia 540. I'm very happy with the Microsoft. I have read specifications of Lumia 950. Specifications are fabulous. I hope, it will launch soon. I'm very excited for the Microsoft Lumia 950. I'll buy it soon.

  • Sounds like the proximity sensor at the top of your phone is being obscured by your screen protector (standard or tempered glass). If not then it may be faulty. Had an issue with proximity sensor on my own Lumia 930 had to send it off for a fix, basically the glass on the screen needed re-glued...

  • Am not a developer, but am intrigued as to how Microsft are making it hard for Developers. Microsoft are and have delivered tools to help developers port there Android, iOS and Legacy Win32/64 apps to modern Windows 10 Universal Apps for the Windows Store. Kodi have begun work on their Win32/64 port with the help of Microsoft and have been surprised how easy it has been. If people don't believe me then search it on Bing (or Google).

  • Google/Android is Anti-Microsoft and scared to add its apps to Windows store, same as Apple. **Actually only one Google app in Windows store, its search app, ancient, unsupported app by Google** Which of the big three companies has the most cross-platform apps - have a guess! Answer: Its not Google and Apple

  • Stick to the 'Production' or 'Release Preview' builds of Windows Insider programme if the bugs are too much for you + if you are using on an unsupported phone model then what do you expect...

  • Recent Anniversary Update and Firmware updates should have improved your device. Try a few hard resets after aforementioned updates.... Lumia 930 user here on latest Anniversary update build and all is working stellar.

  • Please do explain... There are still alot of happy Windows Mobile fans with a polar opposite view, including me!

  • The Surface Phone will be coming. Likely not until after Redstone 2 i.e the current Development branch of Windows 10s next update - - pre summer 2017 I would say..

  • yes, they removed the native fm radio app from Windows 10 Anniversary update onwards as they took decision that the user telemetry stats showed it wasn't being utilisied enough. standard fm apps (non-internet radio) are available in the store as replacements

  • You really need to get onto the updates when you first switch on the device. Only wish if they use the same materials on the back as used for my old Nokia Lumia 920

  • Another price drop cheaper by the week, maybe Time to take the horse behind the barn.

  • Bluetooth does not work it keeps disconnecting,and yet the 1530 model works perfectly.The product is a dud.Window 10 I suspect has a lot to do with it.Avoid purchasing this born lemon

  • ouch! after lot of searching, I found out & confirm that even on 950 xl, Microsoft removed the fm radio native app. so I change my mind now. I won't buy either this phone or the XL.

  • No need your advice. I read from microsoft website.

  • Thank you

  • Can someone confirm here that even after the anniversary update, this phone really doesn't have the fm radio app? I am planning to buy this phone but the fm radio is a must for me. I could go for the XL but the size is not for me. Also i read from other tech sites that the fm radio app on the XL is now gone.

  • This article indicates they have stopped making the 950XL in UK: Maybe pick up one for $50.00

  • Agree esp at $500 maybe $100, lumia's dead now......Surface next if your game. Feel bad for ppl spending $800 etc..yikes

  • But lumia is going to die this year

  • Surface phone is only at rumour stage now. Microsoft has not made any announcement yet.

  • Your phone supports continuum

  • Why to buy this. Just wait for sometime and buy a monster surface phone. I'm not saying that 950 is not good. But surface will be a better choice. It's next generation phone.

  • Ive had Android and iPhones and recently bought a Lumia950. The Lumia 950 and its MS10 OS is 100% rubbish. DO NOT waste your money on a Microsoft phone !!!

  • Lumia 950- 5.2inch,3gb ram,resolution-1440*2560 pixels,battery-3000 mah.next genaration that means after 2 or 5 generation this phone is enough for all.especialy you can make computer also. Study learn and then argument.dont misuderstant to the people

  • Wait for surface phones, Lumia maybe dead soon no support , keep dollars for android or Iphone.

  • NEWS !!!!!! 75% malware infected in android phones and 5% in i phones (in the world) , because of one reason whatsapp (whatsapp voice message through).

  • NEWS !!!!!! 75% malware infected in android phones and 5% in i phones , because of whatsapp (whatsapp voice message through).

  • I think in your phone malware infected,because of whatsapp.do hard reset and dont install whatsapp also.check it.

  • Please buy it

  • The person like me who wanted to buy 950 xl wht u guyz suggest me?? Buy or not??

  • It is a beautiful phone I had the 950xl but had to return it because of the problems. Some of my issues were that the phone has been out a year almost and more and more problems keep showing up. Ones that has never been fixed since launch. Big issues are that it will never stay connected to WiFi and data seems to not work half the time. We never got those apps that they been promising to bro.g to WP store. I have been a WP user since the very beginning but all these crappy phones keep getting put out before they should or that they never fix problems on a high end phone that they are bringing to compete. I have about one crappy WP left before i say good bye to windows

  • do hard reset and update OS and apps. don't install skype.

  • Still im having same problem.... who can help me

  • After every update new bugs appear and old bugs get fixed. Every time

  • Microsoft even don't bother to make win10m perfect. Every part of phone contain some bugs, which will create problem occasionally. People says windows phone is smoother and fast than android. But i think it was only for 8.1 vs kitkat. Things has became reverse now.

  • I think install in sideload apps option through.

  • Nope its amazing app though Loving it, next is ALLO.

  • I had that experience however with WP, 10 is so buggy.

  • lol Must be your phone then, all mine google apps run smooth as butter.

  • No developers care for Windows phones anymore, Trivia crack pulled theirs. What good is it without Apps?? Android/IOS have the market

  • If you have any problem with the phone ... here are some tips to solve them 1.Keep your phone up to date .Yes you have to download new builds that are released by microsoft so that your phone works great.You can go to settings and find the update option and update your phone if there is update. 2.If you have done all updates and no new updates are shown and still the the phone is slow,try to restart it.If you find it buggy or battery draining ,then go to settings and from there reset your phone.Be sure to BACKUP your data if it is precious. 3.Final advice is keep on checking for new updates every week,because they help in improving your phones performance. Have a happy day!

  • This is an excellent phone. Have had Android and Apple. Excellent specs. The problem is MS. They are ignoring this market and are pre occupied with cloud and what that entails. They could seriously eat into both Samsung and Apple but would require a slight modification of their direction. Phones are the new interface. While they may not have the margin or cache of cloud or other things it is what most people see. We have looked at making apps as a MS partner for the phone and they make it difficult. Have to jump through hoops to write apps as a partner and get certified. Should be as easy as pie since that is what is holding them back. Most people do not use that many apps, really, but the perception is lack of apps means a dying platform. They could win this if they really wanted to.

  • Is there is anyway to install tanto or some apps on windows 10 phones??

  • I owned this mobile but windows apps store still extremely far away from ios& Android stores Also battery are bad, except that it's ok

  • Thkz alot, its working 100%

  • Please see if you have updated the latest windows. It fixes the heating problem.

  • your first problem - if you have skype in your phone pls uninstall and restart. your 2nd problem - take settings - phone - audio routing settings - on. then SHUTDOWN your phone and after sometime switch on.

  • Hi.. after lastest update on 950 my phone gives me troble in glance screen when I press on button screen gets on after few times and when call come and take off from ear still screen is off... what can i do

  • Give a software update give a new breath to your phone. Update to redstone and get 160 more features including battery backup and performance improvement.

  • I bought Lumia 950 dual yesterday and it's getting so hot and the battery dying very fast and the battery temperature is very high it's getting soooo hot How can I fix this problem???

  • Or Motorolas...:)

  • Microsoft Undermined Windows 10 Mobile and Our App" it is an article that how Microsoft neglect app store. And we are hoping that app will get better.

  • REMEMBER!!!!!! Android OS (new)update only in google nexus phones only. if we want new android OS,buy google nexus phones.

  • I've had to go back to Android for a minute due to having dropped my 950, but this is when you realise that people that talk about win10 bugs are just nit picking!! The S6 I have in my hands right here is sooooooo slooooow and is actually totally unusable for many applications that just roll smoooooth on the 950. I can't WAIT to get my 950 back!

  • google duo work (available) in windows 10 phone or not ?.

  • you won't have all those issues, 550 is budget , 950 is top class, i'm enjoying mine now with anniversary update, unlocked Lumia 950 dual sim

  • Lumia has no facetime like google Duo..it's great! Have to use Skype bleh.

  • year 3025 lol Apps be like Android then

  • there's no guarantee that this will be the next Android, Brillo or Chrome OS. Right now, it comes across as an experiment that could lay the groundwork for bigger efforts. Android is here to stay it's to big!! Unlike Msoft.

  • good. enquired and respond. now windows OS is the best.

  • It's Fuchsia.

  • I was asking whether 950 has all these bugs, bcs 550 has all these and need to know the stability of 950 over 550

  • Hey dude I know That but I am having no problems with this UC Browser so I suggested It. But I am not having a keyboard problem Too! But I didn't Got the Redstone Update yet! By The Way My Device Is Microsoft Lumia 535 Dual Sim!

  • NEWS!!!!!!!! google developing another OS (FUSHA) . now google going to stop android OS. because we can think .

  • You will get better answer on 550 user opinion page. Kindly ask there.

  • Someone have to wake up uc developers. No update since ages. Anyway, anyone who lost keyboard fluidity after Redstone update? And how to solve it?

  • Hi i wanted to buy this but ended up getting 550 bcs i had no money that time. 1. Does it lag 2. Does it freeze 3. How is the battery drain overnight say about 8 hours with wifi on 4. How is the speed of viber, facebook, whatsapp, messenger Lumia 550 has all these bugs with newest insider build (anniversary one is the latest) I stopped using viber and facebook on 550 becaise it was really slow and buggy

  • I bought a new Windows 950 in April because I was due for an upgrade and my Lumina 1520 - which I still miss and love - wasn't charging and is Windows 8.1. Little did I know........ The new Windows phones are now made by Microsoft, no longer Nokia. This is a cheap and low performing phone. I just un wrapped my third replacement. First replacement was my fault as I dropped it. I am very, very unhappy with this phone. I long for Windows 8.1 versus the very bugged WIndows 10. I am taking this third phone to the Microsoft store today to plead my case. And BTW, AT & T - my carrier- no longer even carries these phones. That's how bad they are! BEWARE!

  • It Is fast and easy just a little bit difficult but It is good!

  • Dude You can get UC browser from the store!

  • Dude U Can Get UC Browser From The Store.

  • The biggest problem is that Windows 10 Mobile still, even after the anniversary update, do not have any usable webbrowser! Edge totally sucks, constantly chrashes and reloads pages and even restarts my phone, and desperately needs an ad blocker!

  • Both of them are good.windows OS is better than other OS and no virus also.

  • Which is better - 950 or 950 XL?

  • Like!!!

  • LUMIA 950 - I got windows 10 mobile anniversary os new update( 10.0.14393.67). All apps updated and bugs cleared. SUPER PERFORMANCE

  • People make me laugh with the ''app gap'' because dont you do your research before buying anything? If you've bought this phone without researching what apps you use your an idiot. People buy cars but dont buy the first one they test drive. They research what they want, need and whether it's viable for them. People need to do this with this phone with people who actaully have iti or use not listen to other people who clearly dont. I've had mine for 8 months, researched other phones and was aware of an app issue. But I went through what app I needs and it wasnt an issue for me. People who know Windows 10 has an app issue then buy the phone and complain make me laugh. There's people who do have the phone and complain. Do me a favour look online for answers to questions or issues to problems. Dont moan do something about it. Sure I've had questions and issues listed on here. But I got them answered or solved within hours. I love my Lumia because it's different, the battery lasts 1.5/2 days, camera is great, can have a home screen to my liking and the overheating is very very rare these days. Any questions I'll be happy to answer

  • The battery gets hot when charging and it gets worse when the battery is draining. It's really unbearable. Some people are lucky to have no bateery issues.

  • Mcsoft should run Android OS imagine it?? be a winner. Google can buy

  • THey all hot since Win 10 :( bad batteries.

  • I have a really bad experience with this phone Negative points: -The main problem is lake of apps (poor market really need to upgrade) -Battery is bad - screen colors are very bad only two colors - manufacture materials are poor Positive points: - the software is better than i expected - perfect camera

  • I recently got my hands on the Windows Lumia 950 and, while I think it is a good phone in terms of features, I did notice that the battery doesn't last long (this phone is new and I cannot go a day without charging it) and the phone, when being used, has a problem with overheating. I don't know how to fix this - is it an update that I need to get on the OS?

  • Yes then watch all the crashes, screaming yelling another year no no no i go Android

  • Much to overpriced for wat is, should be like $50 being in beta mode a lot

  • The lumia 950 works like a PC.

  • Of course. In the coming years. After three years of usage, Microsoft finally reached the bottom. Platform works as every other beta version app. Slow, produce overheating and full of bugs. No one deserve such a service. Their app updates comes first for Android and iOS.. Shameful acting. People, save your nerves and money. Buy something much better, and offer is rich.

  • NEWS !!!!!!!! Windows 10 Mobile Anniversary big OS Update is coming, Microsoft confirms .

  • Great device, better than my previous Lumia. Lighter, more stable OS than Windows Mobile 8.1, easy to work with, battery lasts just over a day. No regrets so far.

  • Go for Lumia 950. Windows OS is far more stable and reliable than android and you're going to have update support from Microsoft much much longer.

  • Hi, guys! I looking around for new mobile phone. I like Sony Xperia XA. In Bulgaria it is a good price (Around 300 euros). But actually I am proud owner of Lumia 525. Everyone in my family has android phone, but their phone always have bugs(it may be because they are not good in technologies or their phone are small-level). For two-three years windows OS is good phone and now(because it's no stop Wi-Fi connected) now it has fast drained battery and the most application has bugs. They don't turn on or turn off when I choose them. Now I am looking for android phones because the most people who use Windows Phone 10(their WinPhone are actually Windows 8.1)are not pleased with. It always has any bugs. But phones, which came with Windows Phone 10 are stabled and they don't have any bugs. Are I going to change OS (of course android, I don't like iOS) or spend more money and buy Microsoft Lumia 950?

  • Is it working fine, is it good??

  • lumia 950 - i got windows os new update (10.0.10586.545).

  • android is so unsafe, apparently people don't care about a safe and secure OS. Windows 10 is simply the best OS.

  • news!!!!! Millions of Android users at risk as security flaw discovered. The privacy of millions of Android users in Australia has been put at risk after four security flaws were discovered in the chips powering their smartphones and tablets. A warning has been issued today by security firm Check Point, advising at least 10 million Android users across Australia, and 900 million worldwide, could now be targeted by hackers due to four issues in the Qualcomm chip in the company’s devices. According to Check Point, the security issue affects most companies using the Android operating system, including Samsung, HTC, LG, Motorola, Sony and Google. The flaw “can give attackers complete control of devices and unrestricted access to sensitive personal and enterprise data on them”, according to Check Point. Samsung’s popular Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge, Google’s Nexus 5 and 6 series, the HTCs One and the Blackberry DTEK50, advertised as the “most secure Android phone”, are all at risk by the security flaw. “Odds are, if you have an Android device, you are affected,” the statement said. Hackers can reportedly use an app to take advantage of the issue. “An attacker can exploit these vulnerabilities using a malicious app,” the statement said. “Such an app would require no special permissions to take advantage of these vulnerabilities, alleviating any suspicion users may have when installing.” Qualcomm has developed a fix for most of the issues with their chip which will be passed onto device manufactures before it is passed onto customers. In the meantime Check Point has released a tool called QuadRooter Scanner, which can be downloaded from the Google Play app store, which Android users can use to check if their device is at risk.

  • Sounds to mike like the phone should have avoided you. Or did you really write about the Lumia 950 or some other phone, because as 950 owner I recognize nothing of these socalled issues you posted??

  • Running hot while charging was a problem many builds ago, run the updates first if you have just unwrapped it, then comment. It is really not getting hot any more for a long time! I've used many windows phones, from the early 800, to the 1020 and 1520 and I must say the 1020 and 1520 are still solid working phones, really great and very matured. I still find the 800 usable, and that can't be said about many Android or Apple phones that are that old! If you want to use your phone as long as possible, a MS phone really is the better choice! In some respects I still slightly prefer the 1520, but then when I grab my 950 again I forget about all that and enjoy the USB-C, with display dock. It feels so luxurious sitting on the sofa with a wireless mouse and mini keyboard, having everything that's already on my phone displayed super large. I can't believe how fast Netflix also works on this device! It is high res instantly! And the display of the device itself is also amazing!!!! Two of my colleagues have bought the 650 and ditched their Iphones and they use them professionally and are very happy with them too, despite the somewhat simpler hardware the at a first glance these phones feel much like the 950, although the extra's of the 950 can't be underestimated off course. Coming from a heavy, bulky and way too expensive Iphone a 650 isn't that bad a choice. Then the camera of the 950!! That's something Apple really has to step up to, as they are a bit behind there! Even compared to the Samsung S7 I prefer the lense of the 950 and the larger sensor and higher resolution make it a top notch camera. The S7 focuses a tad faster though, but who knows that might be fixed in updates still due. The first months I had this phone I was a bit worried, as it was worse as my 1520 in so many ways, but I bought it right when it came out, whilst the 1520 was already a year old when I got it. The updates fixed most of the bugs, and at this point it is really on a level leaving little to complain. I've also joined the development program and reported some bugs over time which have all been ironed out nicely. There is really nothing about the phone, OS or hardware to be really negatrive about, it should only have some more developers and siftware engineering support by third parties, and if numbers grow that will be inevitable. Just like with anything else, WE can make this happen, nobody else!

  • I bought it also and here are my advice, 1.do the updates, the last build is 10586.494 , 2.stop frequent sync of mails and other apps, 3. also disasble the photo upload to cloud, and download also. 4.install all apps in the device, not to sd card(go to settings->storage select the sd card and then move the apps to the device. 5. Go to settings and search background apps, dissable every app you dont want to run in the background. 6.set auto brightness of screen. If you do all of the actions above overheat will almost dissapear and battery life will increase dramatically. For me the most important factor of battery drain is constant sync of mails and onedrive, as an example if you take pictures and upload them automatically to the cloud there is a huge battery drain, as for the emails sync them for example every 2 hours and ofcourse app updates, do the updates at home not on the road.

  • I bought this phone last week and at first I thought it is a good phone But after some times working with this ,I realized that it is the worst phone in the world. Becouse it become too hot during charging and working and you can not get it in your hand. The battery is very bad and each 1 hour working with it it you must charge it again. with it and its software has too much bugs. At all I never advice anybody buy this phone until the microsoft solve this problems.

  • Every month os and apps update also bugs fixing will get.after updating it will more improve.don't worry.

  • from where you got anniversary update?? i think it will release on August 8

  • I bought it and honestly really like the phone. It is my first windows phone, it has some bugs but it is working great. I cant understand all the flame , but I think it depends on the price, if it costs more than 350=no value for money but if you can get it 250 -300 euros or less is a great deal.. I believe that with the anniversary update it will be even better. + great screen, camera, usb c fast charging 32 gb interal storage+micro sd, customization, beatuful interface, hello feature, removable battery. - minor bugs with some apps(shazam for example you must lock unlock the screen to work and I cant understand why), some overheating but I think it is normal, no google apps at all, apps are different from android, for example linkedin it totally different in a bad way. but youtube app(tube pro) is awesome, you can download videos. As for the battery I think for a 2560-1440 screen and 808 chip is working fine, but I dissabled glance screen, double tap to wake and ncf(you must search in the settings to dissable it). It is not the best battery life you can have but nothing unusual. So if you want a phone for web surfing, photos, with great screen, 3 ram and good chipshet and you dont mind about some apps that are not in windows store and the price you can get it is 300 -330 or less then I think lumia 950 worth it. but if you want something more usual and tested go for android, i hate ios phones because they are very expensive with 1-1.5 year value, then they are crap. I dont know if I made the right choise but for now I have no regrets for buying lumia 950.

  • Am using Windows 10 on my Lumia 930 and it works as it's made for it. Capable hardware, so in the 950 it should work even better.

  • It is a great phone, the OS had some problems, but with the anyversary update it works flowlessly...for 260 EUR it is a catch...

  • Here in most shops costs 399 and more, only vodafone sell it for 260 and 299 the 950 xl.I will buy it tomorrow

  • €260 for a new Lumia 950? That is definitely a good deal, I would buy it for sure for that price. It's a flagship phone with a superb screen, specs, it's got support for continuum, replaceable battery, some cool Mozo covers, capable hardware for new Windows updates for the coming years... oh yeah it's a good deal for sure. Here it's still over €400.

  • In Greece there is an offer, 950 lumia for 260 euros. Is it worth to buy one? I think the phone has a great screen and good camera, 3 gb ram, I dont want to play games, just surf internet, social media, shazam and gmail-email. Is office free in lumia 950 forever or I have to buy it. Are there any apps like office suite for free that I can use for office files? I am thinking of buying lumia 950 or a5 2016, almost same price here.

  • First u update the OS.

  • Mxm,I would not advice one to buy it..for the price its just useless...the overheating part its frustrates.am only having it for not more than six months but the battery cant handle the power...how can they design a computerized phone with a weak battery....i hate it.

  • Lumia 730 was my phone as well before I smashed the screen. I liked it. Based on this experience I bought flag ship Lumia 950. What a mistake it was. The phone itself is pretty good but operating system windows 10 is not progression from solid Windows 8.1. It is not matured enough to be offered to the customers.

  • Lumia 950 in my experience has a good hardware and making very good pictures but windows 10 mobile is not as solid and mature as windows 8.1. I found so many problems. I would wait for next update of the software to see if windows 10 is greatly improved or I would not buy the windows phone.

  • It means you haven't use Nokia devices in your life.Nokia devices was highly appreciated by the consumer Windows phone survived only due to the Nokia branding.When Microsoft ditched Nokia within a year Microsoft let down it's Lumia phone.Microsoft fails to replace Nokia Lumia legacy with Microsoft Lumia.

  • I am facing one problem in lumia 950. I am not able to increase the volume of ring tone. Another feature- Can I run FM locally without getting connected to internet?

  • lot of cheap local brand android phones ,same like nokia phone. atleast good hardware then only the world agree. first you mind you are not the world.

  • You don't know Nokia and HMD come together with Android phone and falconn will be the manufacturer within a year or most probably in 2017 Nokia will launch it's Android smartphone.Its a biggest news in tech world and its 100% true no rumours.The most important part of this partnership Nokia is in the board of the member and will play a vital role in this project and HMD granted all the required power to Nokia and Smartphone will be according to Nokia's own standard.

  • nokia should make good hardware and os ,then only the people agree.

  • then where is nokia. nokia's chapter closed.

  • Not agree Nokia made good hardware phone.

  • Nokia phones hardware not good.

  • After ditching Nokia branding.Microsoft fails to make its own branding as that of Nokia.Nokia know how to make good smartphone Nokia never let down Windows phone but within a year Microsoft let down it's Lumia devises Surface Phone is on hold All Lumia devises except 640 &640 XL actually 535 ,640 & 640 XL was designed by the Nokia under made under Microsoft branding fails to impress, customers hardly want to go for 950 ,950 XL,650(one of the disaster in Lumia lineup) ,even Satya Nadal it self accepted that Windows phone never be the right choice if we looking for the apps.Rumors also suggest that Microsoft working over Linux based OS somewhat may be Cyanogen (not sure but rumors) Microsoft investing huge money over Cynogen for its development.And now sources also claims that Cynogen working for its own apps development.

  • People love Lumia phones not because of their spec sheets, they are famous for combination of Nokia’s quality and Microsoft-developed hardware and software solutions.

  • I don't think Microsoft will drop support for windows mobile anytime in future...coz of universal apps for both mobile and computer are future with continuum which will only improve with time...I think windows mobile and bright future..i have been using windows mobile from Lumia 1020 days and love the os and feel..live tiles are awesome... as prices of Lumia 950 and 950 xl have fallen its right time to buy them.. surface phone will be launched next years with diff price brackets..and with pure view technology and great hardware Microsoft will stand out but will have few models...that's y they joining more partners which will produce windows mobile phones... would love to see Samsung s7 edge with windows mobile

  • I. Don't think it's a good time to buy Windows phone.Microsost declared to close Lumia smartphone and Surface phone is on hold.Windows phone having a very poor track record recently they ditch its one of the best flagship device 1020,925 and 1320 these smartphone will not going to enjoy Windows 10 benift.HTC also drops to manufacture Windows phone.Microsoft restrict HTC One M 8 to Windows 8.2 only no Windows 10 for HTC One M 8.Don't buy Windows phone if you want to buy Windows phone only then wait for the HP Elite X3.This HP device is much impactful over Lumia 950 & 950 XL.HP having a fresh agreement with Microsoft for the future update of its device.HP Elite X3 is secure investment if you want Windows phone only.

  • I think after anniversary update. What you say?

  • Here is my notes regarding Lumia 950. For those people who want to buy this phone my advice is to avoid it. There are plenty reasons not to get stuck with this peace of hardware. Overheating is the biggest problem. Every app overheats the phone if it is used continuously more than 10 minutes. This is so frustrating. There are no good navigation (Here maps are no longer supported), Edge performs very poor, etc. Not worth money and nervous.

  • Any time Microsoft will stop it's support for existing Lumia devices.

  • my Lumia 950 ds has received more updates than any android phone...2 aug windows 10 anniversary update for all...iam using Lumia 950 and s7 edge

  • I have used iPhones and Androids phones. Pro: For business and productivity, the Lumia 950 with windows phone 10 os is in my experience a better device. Especially, if you are using the Microsoft Office suite. It integrates nicely. The camera is also amazing. Con: Wish for a better battery life.

  • I thinking to buy Microsoft Lumia 950,Do someone can help me in this,do i can buy it or any issue with thIS mobile,the only reason to buy this hardware is it can be used as PC.

  • I also sold my Microsoft Lumia 640 XL. And bought Moto G 4 Plus. As it will get next two Android update N & O and its a guarantee update. Motorola commitment is not as fake as that of Microsoft. Till date all Moto G series and Moto X series got regular Android update.

  • Yes you are abaolutely true... Even I'm suffering without update to Windows 10 for my Lumia 1020. Feeling bad after purchasing windows phone.

  • Microsoft is not reliable.They never fullfil it's own commitment.1320,1020 & 925 these smartphone high end smartphone and fullfil all the requirements to get Windows 10 but Microsoft ditch these Smartphone and will not get official Windows 10 update.Its so embarrassing to trust over Microsoft.When Microsoft skip support for their existing Lumia devices nobody's knows that not even Microsoft itself they have no vision what they will do.

  • after update it will ready. don't worry.

  • no

  • yeah , they only Focus on PC

  • Does this phone heating when running some app or when browsing on the net?

  • I think all these dramas are only for one reason. They need everyone in windows 10. As free pc upgrade is going to end earlier they forced users and now this. And windows phones are being neglected.

  • I would like to share my experience wiht Lumia 950 after two weeks including some "issues" - maybe you find it helpful. I considered to buy an android phone, but after bad experience I gave a chance to Lumia 950. Windows 10 runs smoothly, display is perfect, however there was mentioned some issues. It gets hot during use It is matter of settings. I disabled all applications (except Messaging and some others) to run in background and it really helps. Phone is getting hot, but after 10 minutes and more of browisng. But notthing you can't bear. Unable to connect wi-fi I experience this, however maybe it is issue with battery saver. When I turned off battery saver, almost immediately I connect to wi-fi. Often restarts Only once - supposed Edge browser has a problem with page display and phone restarted. Lack of applications Yes, this can be frustrating. However, there is always free application you need but you can choose only from one or two available (on Android you have tens of alternatives). Some apps are not available and you have to use web version. Overall opinion - great phone, price is now more fair (you can get it for under 300 E), runs smoothly, no problem with contact transfer from android, and also camera is great.

  • Skype will only support Windows 10 Mobile and will drop support for Windows Phone 8.1 and 8 starting October 2016.Its a worst Microsoft dutch it's own software for it's own plaform.Windows 8.1 is not as old to Retire apps support it's so pathetic Microsoft that why Windows phone market share is in that position.You are really not serious about your Mobile segments.

  • I am telling you the truth.You don't know anything about Smartphone Platform it's Life cycle.Except "REMEMBER !!!!!, android OS new (free) update getting in google NEXUS phones only , not any other brand of phones. (other brand of phones are cheating to the people in OS updating)"But listen All Nexus devices also have some life spam after certain period of time No update available for older Nexus devices.Acording to you 1st Nesus still getting current Android update how funny.It seams that you are drunk,1st educate yourself before committing over any other.

  • android phone is your home property ?.

  • LoL.....

  • Dear you don't know any thing about Android phone and Android phone lifecycle.First learn then comment over Android phone.

  • REMEMBER !!!!!, android OS new (free) updating in google NEXUS phones only , not any other brand of phones.What nonsense you are posting again and again.If you don't have any idea.Then Firstly go and grab it.Otherwise your little knowledge will dump you in very embarrassing conditions.

  • No it's not true Nexus devices will get three year minimum update,and what about Moto devices,Samsung Note Series,Android One,One Plus One,Samsung Galaxy Series,HTC One 8 (2014),HTC One 9 (2015),Sony Experia Z Series.These all series at present Running with Current Android version M Update and most of them will get N update also.Moto G (2013) start with Andrid Jellybean now it's running over L update it's a last update for Moto G (2013).Please don't spread rumors.Firstly update your self then weight your reviews.

  • Absolutely

  • Then all in all iPhone is the best 2013 5s still getting update and will get more updates in future.Android phone having limitations after Nexus only few devices get regular Android update but not more than 2 years.I agree very few person stick to its older phone for more than 2 years and they are looking for the new devices.

  • There is an article in internet "from photon to the future." You can read the whole story of microsoft that how they made windows phone a me**. Continuity in a single thing is not the part of microsoft.

  • They are only working on windows 10 os. They left behind 8.1. I don't know why but every time they left most of their most of previous smartphones. Earlier they released new 7.1 phone. After six month they released 8.0 and told that no win7 phone can be upgradable to 8.0. Then released 7.5 by adding some features of 8. Now they left 8.1. After some month they are going to leave win10.

  • But Microsoft stop updating Windows 8.1 no update since long time for Lumia 1320 and 925.

  • They are improving universal windows platform which will be used by surface phones later. If you ask me to why then Microsoft os releasing updates? At the time of releasing win10 to other hardware manufacturers, they sign a contract to support them for a definite time. Once that time end they can go on their way.

  • Lumia 950 is an awesome one if you can afford. Please go for it!!

  • If it's true then it will be more interesting to see.Intel in Microsoft devices.But Satya Nadal accepted that Windows phone is bad if we are looking for the apps but for business user Windows Platform is much secure than any other OS.I am also had Lumia devices but it's a good phone.But after upgrading to Windows 10 it lost it charm,Windows 10 full of bugs and earlier version 8.1 is stop getting update it's so embarrassing that's why I sold my Lumia 640 XL due to its estabilit issues.But one thing I want to know Microsoft is very serious about Windows 10 OS and new apps like Facebook,Facebook Messenger,Instagram for Windows 10 is much improved just like IOS.If Microsoft is not serious about Windows 10 then why they improving it .

  • No don't go for the Window phone.I also had 640 XL and it performs brilliantly.But now I switch to Android Moto G 4 Plus.Windows 10 still have many bugs and will take much time to fix all these bugs may be in next year 2017.But at present Windows is not a good platform don't invest money over it.Better to stay with Android.

  • Friends, I used lumia 730 about 1.5 years and my experience was satisfactory with that, after it till now i am using samsung j7, but i like lumia's interface and smoothnes, which i am not getting, should i change with this lumia 950, bit confused about this decision, please suggest... Is it right decision to change ?

  • Very good smartphone, I recommended to every people.

  • And there is no reason to go behind failure project if there is a new project running behind.

  • Yes, like what they did with windows 8.1, windows 7.5 and other earlier versions. Other hardware partners make just 3% marketshare. And why would they care after announcing surface phone. Msft CEO satya nadella already admitted that windows phone is a failure. App support are leaving. If they really care about lumia, then at least they should make nee devices. There is a rumor that their next device will be based on x86 intel processers rather than ARM.

  • Yeah no issues with notifications

  • Friends, please i need a suggestion, i like windows phone very much, previously i was using lumia 730 (win 8.1) and was very satisfied by that handset, presently using galaxy j7 but want to switch to lumia 950, but only one thing need to know all necessary app fordaily city travel like ola and uber app is available or not , just need to know because i am a frequent user of this services, please reply as soon as possible..... thanks

  • How it will be possible Microsoft letdown it's Lumia phone but.But Windows will continue by other Manufacturer s like HP ,Lenovo,Acer,Blue and Microsoft still continuing with Windows 10 update and it's improvement for the longer period of time.

  • Why i can't download blackberry messenger application?

  • All fixed in win 10 and lumia 950.apps and os is verygood performance.(update os and apps ragularly it will get every month).i am very happy in lumia 950.

  • Hi. On Windows Phone 8 notifications for chat, email, facebook, whatsapp, ..., were delayed sometimes for 30 and more minutes. Is that fixed on Microsoft Lumia 950 that has win10? tnx.

  • After update it will ready and will get verygood performane.(no heating,internet will fast).every month apps and os updating will get and bugs also fixing.don't worry you should update your phone regularly.

  • while using cortana set is getting hanged in 2nd day after purchase.also while charging getting very hot.

  • Can anyone suggest any app which can control brightness of flashlight?

  • Disable live tiles and glance screen will get very good battery backup.

  • RAM doesn't matter. How can you compare ram in different platform. Windows 10m os is not bulky as pf android. So it doesn't need more ram to run smoothly.

  • Anything new? What about battery backup improvements?

  • This is not like that. Samsung, Lenovo, Sony are receiving updates. Only my old phone htc 820s not receiving. I don't know what's the problem. I'm stuck in KitKat

  • Then please don't go through windows phone. Microsoft is in the way to end Lumia line. Sell their hardware unit to Foxconn and recently closed their Finland Nokia unit. Their are no new lumias coming. Msft is going behind surface phone with diff os and processer than ARM which will not support on Lumia. Sooner their support will also end.

  • LUMIA 950 - I got windows OS new update (10.0.10586.494).

  • hi....i want to buy this phone but i'm afraid.....let me tell you why.....i'm a vr fan....and i use google cardboard and a lot of other vr apps on android and i enjoyed it.....but i never used a windows phone....so there is google cardboard app for windows phone ? like playing games and videos...etc....also i wonder if there is a youtube app.....and thanks.

  • LUMIA 950 - now maps voice navigation not working in this phone and double tap to wakeup not in this phone.

  • I had my first hands-on experience with this phone a couple of days ago and I must say it feels sturdy and it feels much better in hand than what I'd thought. Although at the moment it doesn't seem to be a real upgrade compared to my Lumia 930 so I probably won't buy and and just stick with my 930 for a bit longer and wait what else Microsoft will come up with. I am using the 930 just short of two years already and W10 mobile runs great on it. Just the best OS there is, secure, stylish, fast, smooth, I mean buttery smooth. It's the real deal for a smartphone.

  • very expensive , as le max 2 has more RAM than it in less cost

  • buy Microsoft Lumia 950. (3 gb ram).

  • if we want better hardware phone, go for apple phone.

  • All ok but please dont say faster. I'm not saying that it lags but it takes more time to open applications.

  • Nokia was a hardware company and microsoft is a software. In case of nokia lumia hardware was good but microsoft was not upto the mark for software. And now, there are no proper hardware for lumia. You can see windows 10 is becoming better and better but everyone need better hardware. People are going behind hardware. This is the main problem.

  • Is the camera on this one any good?

  • zoom x3.. like nokia 930 ckeck on microsoft webside (missing info on 950 but look 930.)

  • Does this phone camera contain large video zoom? Friends i need ur help.

  • Microsoft products are harder better faster and longer. Especialy OS.

  • I am not agree Nokia made a long lasting phone.Microsoft Lumia having a bad quality hardware look at the spec of 950,950 XL,650 all are crap.640 ,640 XL was the last Lumia series design by Nokia and branding by Microsoft .Nokia take care of each and every aspect while designing 640 & 640 XL.

  • Nokia phone's hardware not good.

  • Disable live tiles then u will get good battery backup

  • But now Microsoft stop their Lumia lineup surface mobile is on hold ,Now Microsoft also depend over other manufacturers like HP ,Acer,Blue.Basically Microsoft is the software giant.They can't concentrate over hardware.Current Microsoft Lumia smartphone fails to creat any magic.Whatever the market share of Windows phone only due to the Nokia effort.No doubt Nokia Lumia line up was popular than the Microsoft Lumia.Nokia was never let down Windows phone.But within a year Microsoft let down it smartphone sigment .

  • that's why I am telling buy windows phones only. because OS and hardware same company.

  • 650 ,950 & 950 XL having a very poor battery life.640 XL is the only best choice if you want to go for Windows phone only .If you want to go for Android then go for Moto G 4 Plus best android phone under 15K with turbo charging.

  • No it's totally wrong Nexus device will get 1st preference ,Nexus series will get Next 3 update in its life cycle from the date of its releasing means.Means Nexus 5x will get update till O update.Moto Nexus 6 will continue till N update.Android One is in the same update lifecycle as Nexus series.Moto devices bond to get next 2 update means Moto G 4 Plus will get next N & O update.Samsung Flagship Galaxy S6 & S6 Edge series and Note series also enjoy Android update,HTC flagship and Sony Xperia Flagship will also get at least 2 Android update in its lifecycle.Some Chinese brand One Plus also provide Android update to its 1,2 series.You are partially right most of the Android phone not get coming Android update.They fixed to its existing Androind version

  • android OS updating in google nexus phones only, no any other brand of phones. think and buy only other brand phones.

  • bro its already come...read my earlier post..i already have double tap to wake on my Lumia 950ds indian version...just check for new update aka firmware via wdrt ..iam waiting for flip to silence...now..loving my Lumia 950...always had windows phone as my main phone..since 5 years now..i aso have s7 edge great phone aswell...but got a defective screen given for warranty...

  • So true! The only thing what I'm waiting for is double tap to wake and it's coming very soon with the next update! :)

  • with latest updates the phone is amazing. there is no bug anymore. i have 10586.420 build and I'm really really satisfied with it. most of the apps are rebuilt and working great with amazing quality.apps like instagram, facebook, messenger, whatsapp, mytube(youtube), specter(snapchat), Spotify, tune in radio, twitter, 9gag mobile,line, viber, audio cloud(sound cloud), shazam, vlc and many others are now rebuilt and full of other oses features. every month new update comes to these phones and they are getting even better.

  • Windows OS needs lots of improvement.Android is improved OS.And after Windows 10 it shows that Windows 10 itself not stable os.Even Microsoft accepted and let down its Smartphone business.

  • Whatever we want we can do over Android.But we can't do in Windows phone.You have to know that there is a limitations in office package in Windows phone.But we can do a lot over Microsoft office in Android phone.Till date Windows 10 is very bugy OS 8.1 is much better than Windows 10.In future it may be develop then I will think about Windows phone,but at present it's a useless for me.

  • Guys good news double tap to wake is back to Lumia 950...use windows device recovery on your computer u will find new firmware..i just installed it...

  • How about the battery life, isit good enough ? I've been use lumia 925 for 2,5 yrs and in regular use, it can reach 24 hrs in evey single charging. is the lumia 950 has the same or better battery life compare with the lumia 925 ?

  • it is hanging

  • it is hanging

  • Yes I'm happy! :) And you can try looking for some trashy android for yourself.

  • I am very happy,You got your best choice.

  • Lumia 950 is a fantastic phone! I'm so pleased! I'll never go back to android again, thanks God :)

  • For some reason there is no FM-Radio in Lumia 950. Physically, it is, but is disabled on the software level. well done microsoft .

  • Main cons of 950 it's a Windows phone.Apps quality very poor in compare to Ios and Android.If you are an Android users then firstly spends some time with Windows phone.Then you come to the conclusion whether you go for the Windows phone or not.

  • Can anyone tell me the pros and cons of this phone...

  • Please update the phone with latest patches the heating problem will be fixed.

  • 950 & 950 XL almost same.950 XL having SD 810 cheapest and is famous for major heating problem.950 XL having a bigger battery than 950.950 XL bigger in size 5.7",550 having only 5.2" display but SD 808 is better than SD 808,other specs are just identical to each other .means camera , Iris scanner , continuum feature .Due to SD 810 great heat transmission 950 XL is not recommend.

  • Can you share some pros and cons... I would like to hear :)

  • i have a problem with message notification from contacts. the sound i'm using does not work. the message tone from action center rings , not the message tone from the contact. if the message tone from action center is set to default , the message tone from contact works! anyone else having this bug? v.10586.420 not an insider, soft and hard reset does not fix it...

  • 950 is better than 950 XL.950 XL having a major heating issues

  • Latest build 10586.420 so far so good

  • What is your current OS version?

  • Reset your phone and wifi will function again. Just like what I did to my Lumia 630.

  • Which is better 950 or 950xl.....

  • I have had this phone for about 6 months now and it has been nothing short of amazing overall. The picture quality of the camera is pretty dang good. If you join the insider program you can do one of 2 update ways 1. slow updates or 2. Fast Track updates I chose the latter and MS has been quite busy getting features out and updated for the phone. the overheat and battery drain issues have been resolved and Cortana is getting better with each release. Based upon my usage I get about 2 days of battery life out of it. I would recommend to anyone.

  • All mobile phones and OS companies are doing.especialy china.

  • All mobile phones and OS companies are doing.

  • Is it worth to upgrade from L930 (win 10) to 950? My biggest concern is very poor battery life on 930. I see endurence rating for L950 is only 2 hours better than 930 bt it is with windows 8.1. Anyony who upgraded from 930 win10???

  • VERY underappreciated phone. Hardware is great, design is elegant, if simple, and feels like a flagship. Windows 10 Mobile, with all the updates now does everything I want it to do and more. W10M + L950 combo continues to iterate and improve over time.

  • So, I heard that Windows 10 is stealing user information with so many microsoft spyware inside. I wonder how about this mobile version?

  • 10.0.14367.0 is the latest

  • Have a question: if and how did you solve the WiFy Problem??? I was a happy 920 user until it packed up, but if Icannot use it via WIFI then a new 950 as planned it is no good to me

  • I upgraded to the 950 from the 920. Well I do love the Lumia 950. Keep it up Microsoft.

  • Microsoft products is harder,better,faster,longer.

  • i think the phone is awesome. i am not a fan of lumia devices anymore but the phone is super cool!!!!

  • LUMIA 950 - I got windows OS new update ( 10.0.10586.420 ).

  • Go for new technology model in the fastest technology world.

  • Lumia lost in innovation...

  • I've only seen one Lumia commercial and it was for the 1020 and it was a great commercial for Lumia till date.

  • Don't you think that Microsoft should change their marketing strategy? I mean, no UWP, nor a perfect system or nothing will attract nobody to the system other than advertising. I never saw a Microsoft ad, this keeps the idea that Microsoft has few users and devs have no interest on making apps for few users, don't you think so? I think that the major mistake here is the lack of marketing, cuz with increased marketing more people will buy and increase market share, raising devs attention on the platform and thus closing the app gap.

  • Latest data claims over 75% of active Windows 10 Mobile devices are OS upgrades.Alternatively, only 22.82% of current Windows 10 Mobile Lumias are of the x50 series (Lumia 550, 650, 950, 950 XL), suggesting that people are not actively buying these phones either. That leaves 77.18% of all Windows 10 Lumias as in-situ upgrades from Windows Phone 8.1. Considering the Lumia 950 and Lumia 950 XL are priced quite high, and the Lumia 550 and Lumia 650 did not see widescale release, none of that should a shock.

  • I am talking about the Microsoft commitment in which they promised all Lumia devices will get Windows 10 update since 520 to 640 series.Thenafter they said only those Lumia devices having 1 gb ram and 8 gb internal storege will going to enjoy Windows 10 benifit.But they ditched Lumia 1020,1320 & 925 why.They don't stick to its own word.

  • Yes but all other brand don't have potential to grab market except HP Elite X3.Even Microsoft having lots of hope over HP.

  • Hello mr, other brand mobile phones are comming with windows OS.

  • Till date they are committed to give OS update. But track record of Microsoft put into full of doubt.Earlier they said all Lumia Lineup will get Windows10 since 520 to 640 & 640 XL but now they drop various smartphone including 1020,1320 & 925 these three smartphone is higher range Lumia devices but sadly not going to enjoy Windows 10 advantage. Microsoft didn't stick to its own word,so buying Lumia devices full of risk and on the other hand Microsoft not going to continue its Lumia series.

  • will microsoft providing OS updates to Lumia Series( 950, 640, 650) since they exit from Mobiles division

  • To expencive for old model !!!!!

  • All too common problem since the Lumia 920, the camera hype has fooled lots of people. And to add insult to injury the camera isnt even that good, only clueless 12 year olds who think photography is about resolved detail when zoomed in would call this a great camera.

  • You can change default search engine into the Edge. It doesn't have to be a Bing.

  • You really have no clue about windows mobile m8. But stop the nonsense. Just go in the settings of Edge and change the search engine to google.

  • I like my Microsoft Lumia phone its hardware, OS, but I sold it because I felt it seems to be it restricting me on something that I owned, it is ridiculous to forcing you to use Bing search engine. Come on Microsoft give some freedom to your end user.

  • Do hard reset most probably it will fix your device problem.

  • Great phone! don`t doubt! but the biggest problem that i have is that it doesn`t connect to Wifi for some unexcpected reason so i can`t update so what should i do? :)

  • every month windows OS updating is getting and bugs fixing also, you should update your phone regularly. thank you

  • I am having a problem with my phone freezing and I want to know how to deal with that because before you could take your battery out and restart your phone but now with the battery that you can't take out you can't restart the phone because it's stuck I need help

  • LUMIA 950 - every month all apps updating is getting. good work from MICROSOFT.

  • LUMIA 950 - every month all apps updating is getting. good work.

  • Superb phone, fast like hell, I think one of the best camera and step by step it gets a better OS with every update.

  • I agree Lumia Phone is Just Fantastic, I am also a Windows Phone Lover

  • This phone is fantastic!

  • Microsoft said it will continue to develop Windows 10 Mobile platform and support its Lumia smartphones, but declined to say whether it would develop new phones. "We are focusing our phone efforts where we have differentiation," said chief executive Satya Nadella in a statement.The Redmond giant also said it would close down its research and development site in Tampere, Finland, but continue to develop Windows 10 Mobile platform and support its Lumia smartphones. The company declined to say whether it would develop new phones. "We are focusing our phone efforts where we have differentiation," said chief executive Satya Nadella in a statement, "We will continue to innovate across devices and on our cloud services across all mobile platforms."

  • LUMIA phones are going to end. But the big boss called SURFACE PHONE is coming soon. Don't be dishearted lumia fans . Apps gap in windows store will be filled by microsoft soon. . .

  • new Microsoft phone is coming that is SURFACE PHONE.

  • yess boss.

  • I am really not happy To see Microsoft will not going to make more Windows smartphone.I am also a Window phone lover.

  • Besides some of the great feature, Finally Microsoft back and will not going to make smartphone.Even Microsoft closed down the R&D center in Salo after cutting 2300 jibs in Salo,Tempere and Espoo last year this is still in progress.Most probably Mucrosoft shutting down its phone division for good.

  • windows 10 is boss of all smartphones platform

  • Hi! How come I don't have integrated FM Radio in my Lumia 950 and still it is listed among the specs. Can I install it somehow. It would be really useful for me to have it. Could anyone help me? Thanks.

  • Guys stil whtsapp and viber front never chngd and dnt hv vedio call in viber... Its kind of disapointing..

  • Overall I Would give it 8 or 9 out of 10. Newest OS version is good, this phone looks and feels really good, but it's design could be more premium looking and the battery is just average.

  • I have a samsung and enjoy it, no lag or issues use Nova Launcher.. I also have windows phone $25 only paid for it, so its a good phone to test 10 out on. Least if 10 flops I'll keep my samsung, maybe some Android users are using their phones wrong?.

  • Yeah i wouldn't pay the price of iphone when 10 still in development really, not sure which way it will go.

  • Very great phone, it's a very nice piece of Hardware: -Excellent AMOLED display with great resolution (best display I ever saw on a smartphone) -Great Performance -Solid Battery Life -Very good Camera with dedicated button -I recommend to buy this great Mozo Cover (http://images.mobilefun.com/graphics/450pixelp/­55717.jpg) Software is a little bit behind, there are some bugs here and there, but Microsoft will surely fix all of them soon. -Start menu is so great, have all app that I use there with smallest Icon, and you can also pin websites and people contact there, so then you can do every task from start menu, which is so awesome :) Those tile making isn't really finished in windows itself, for example when you pin a website, it has no icon. But you can use Custom Tile Maker to do this job :)

  • This is excellent phone but the rate here in India is damn high hence I purchased Sony phone else I would have definitely go for this Device. Cheers!:)

  • The best phone for business users

  • It would be nice when more people think like you !!

  • Just buy it!!!!! Enjoy the difference!!!! I love Lumia 950

  • I have a Samsung S7 and have used the Iphone 6S for a month or two. Despite the feeling of travelling back in time with the Iphone, I would still prefer it. Android in general has sadly proven itself to be the main point of focus for virus developers, and Google just lifts their shoulders and avoid all responsibility. Even if they would mould the casing in gold I would never get a Samsung, or even a Nexus. For me as professional user the Windows platform offers me the best options, stability and compatibility. Samsung can't even manage to provide identical hardware for same models throughout the world. A reason for pro hardware developers to not use them, or any other android phones fotr that matter. It's not easy to guarantee cutting edge native applications to work perfectly well on all the versions. Apple at least has identical hardware versions all over the world. For me the choice for MS over Apple is also the price, you don't get a lot of high tech for your the money with Apple. It's like the perfectly cut and shaved lawn in a nicely groomed garden. With WP10 however you can just jump over the fence and enjoy a lot more gardens, and that did it for me. I looove the Edge browser too!

  • No, it really does support up to 2TB, but cards do not exist yet.

  • After the latest updates the phone finally takes shape in the way I was used to with the 1020 end 1520 I had. No heating issues any more during charging, MUCH increased battery life (think it is time to update the endurance rating in the specs!) Recently got the Continuum dock, WHAT a loxurious way to use a phone. Also the Edge browser closes much of the app gap, who needs space consuming apps if you've got a browser that can handle things for you?? I am finally starting to love it! To everyone that gave up on this phone by previous bad experiences, try it again!!

  • With Lumia 950, it's the suitable time to switch from Android to Windows Phone,,,Continuum, Irish scanner, Zeiss lenses with unbelievable photos, fast charge, clear black screen, RGB flash which leads to natural night photos and Windows 10 OS with powerful hardware resulted in amazing experience using wonderful Lumia 950...

  • Guys after update how is heating issue and whtsapp viber fronts and viber got vedio calling...???

  • Guys after update how is heating issue and whtsapp viber fronts and viber got vedio calling...???

  • lumia 950- I got new windows update ( 10.0.10586.218 ).

  • LUMIA 950 - I got new windows update ( 10.0.10586.218 ). very good performance.

  • full virus in android OS everytime. Everytime hanging problem.

  • pl suggest me

  • can i install the app that i can install in laptops

  • I'm just wondering how they achieve 7.5 hours in web browsing test if I have 15 % battery with 25% brightness after 7 hours away from charger And half of this time Lumia was on my desk at work without touching

  • Guys 950 is fantastic..... its great.. but battery is sucking only half a day can use with full chgr, evrytym hv to carry my charger its kind of sucks

  • Troll harder

  • You can set the insider app to receive only production builds

  • The slot supports up to 2TB micro sd cards whenever those are available, currently the highest is 200gb which it supports

  • Lumia 950 is a good phone and Windows 10 OS is indeed nice to use but the design of this phone is kinda let down for some. The looks of this device can be best described as utilitarian which is quite a bummer at this price range for few people. (I agree that one can improve it by going for Mozo Leather cover but it doesn't make a hell lotta difference) This phone is nevertheless good, but the problem is most people expected it to be beautiful like its predecessor Lumia 930 but it turned out to be bit too formal and bland looking. For professional users it's great, it is a near perfect productivity tool in the hands of professional users and looks perfect in corporate atmosphere (Especially if you own a equally professional looking T-series or new P-series ThinkPad with it). The removable battery is a absolute boon for business users and road warriors but for normal mainstream consumer it is kinda looks too boring. I hope next time Microsoft pays little attention to the looks of their phones too because Lumia range has a legacy of good looking devices (930, 830, 925, 730, 1020), it would be better for Microsoft to ensure that the legacy isn't compromised.

  • Full virus in android O/S everytime.

  • It runs on official Windows 10 release.

  • Sry, is lumia 950 comes with windows 10 offical or preview..???

  • Guys lumia 950 comes with window10 preview or universal ....????

  • Hi Alierna, Did you have to uninstall the windows insider first to install the official windows 10?

  • final release of windows 10 was really a game changer. before it i was an insider and i used to try preview version of windows 10. it was a big big glitch. but now after official update i can't be more happy. with nearly endless users that can use universal apps,there is nothing to worry about. it's a safe bet for developers to make their apps universal!

  • except there was never a 940.

  • Well, my 925 didn't have this option. Anyway, doesn't matter who was first, it was only a way to describe it :)

  • absolutely Carol I'm a very happy owner of the fantastic 940 before that I had a 550 which was the first Lumia I brought most of my friends were saying no don't get a windows phone get a Samsung or IPhone admit I was in 2 minds.......now I can honestly say the 940 is the best phone ive ever had and yes I have had both Samsung and Iphones in the past you could offer me a new model of Samsung etc but would never give up my 940...I am saving up for the 950!

  • 200GB not 2000

  • well their are only 2 situations here. You have a defective device or you never bought it!;) And you're just a troll!

  • This is the dumbest comment i have ever read. So you suggest to people to buy a small screen easy to scratch metal crapp over an 950? You have no freaqin ideea what you're talking about boy. Is like sugesting to people to buy an Trabant instead of and Audi quatro for god sake. So many sheeps is already annyoing.

  • Is funny how all this clowns defended Samsung's cheepy soaps like a God, in the era when you could feel the difference of the quality between a Nokia and Sam was like the difference between day and night. Now, this clowns come back to praise the build quality of their samsung. So much hipocrysy is hard, very hard to digest. Go home man!

  • Good review, but one thing you are wrong:). Living images (video as you call them) were on lumia devices an year before iphone ever came with the ideea;). 1520, 928, 930, 830. So, the idea is pretty much stollen;).

  • its an awesome phone with the best functionality,i love this lumia

  • microsoft windows OS is no.1 in the world.( in the phone and desktop).

  • the batman phone!

  • Full virus in android OS.atleast read news papers and watch tv news.

  • The sad and candid truth, however, is that many developers have found developing for Windows problematic. Some who invested in Microsoft's mobile efforts years ago have found the trek toward a unified platform jarring and inconsistent

  • yes, windows OS and phone is best. no any virus can't attack in this OS.

  • I love lumia since nokia's day. so far i used lumia 720 with no problem almost 1 year and then sold it and upgraded to lumia 1520 which is very great phablet almost 2 years and sold it again.and bought a new one with lumia 640 xl with no problem at all and upgraded to windows 10 which is i like the new transformation of the windows interface..windows phone are more friendly user rather than any OS..simple and elegant..

  • Except 512 ram ones :P.

  • Too ignorance, WD 10 update would effect only 50.4% of the latest LUMIA with above 1GB RAM and minimum 8GB free user memory.

  • If Windows devices make you feel Chinese then I don't know how you are bearing with 'Samdung'. You need learn geography, dude. By the way I'm an android user, I had nexus 5 & recently I have switched to Windows Phone & I must say, it has almost everything that you need for day to day purpose. No bullsh*t!!

  • Hey guys, I am a relatively new Lumia 950 user. I upgraded my Lumia 925 to Windows 10 preview and that was really horrible - all apps were really laggy, but my Lumia 925 died shortly afterwards as I tried to change battery so I was really worried about getting 950, especially considering that S6 is the same price range. Anyway, long story short, decided to get the 950 simply because all of my data would sync from old phone and because I really like the Mozo covers for this phone. So far all my concerns have disappeared and I really enjoy this phone. First day battery lasted barely a day, because it was downloading my backup with all settings and applications and update throughout the night. After that - perfect, with medium use, I only charge it in the morning while I am in shower as it charged about 50% in 30 minutes with the new 3C charger. So it runs smooth, screen is bigger and looks better than 925, charges faster, battery lasts longer and camera + tri color flash is an improvement. And now it makes small movies when taking pictures like IPhone 6. Another good thing about the camera is location of the lense - it's in the middle where you don't put fingers, so that's good. All in all seems like a solid device and only thing I stopped using is the iris scanner. It works well if you sit at a desk, but when you are walking etc it's just not so easily usable. A couple more things they have lost in W10m - tapping anywhere on screen to take a picture and double tap to wake up phone. Two major steps back imo. Also I still haven't changed back cover to Mozo - stock one does look a bit simple, but feels good apart from the fact that edges seem a little sharp to the touch. The final verdict - there are still things they need to work on, just like for the past 6 or so years, but overall device feels solid and runs well.

  • My advice sell them quick get some $$$ back and run ...... stop being Beta Testers. Titanic Sunk, get some % of your money back. You should see this new Samsung i have its a work of art!!! Makes Windows look like Chinese Phone.

  • Not sure what Android yo use, i get a day and half, and use Facebook and What's app..This phone battery ate my phone in 1/2 day.

  • I dont think so, it is buggy and the whole O/S is confusing and muddled. I think it will be polished in 2017, I swap for samsung 7 no comparison. Now i have something that works, was glad to sell this horrid thing with no apps. I think this is maybe a business phone only for people who just use world documents. If you want games go Google..

  • Lumia 950 is very good phone.

  • Hellow 950 User, I want to buy Microsoft 950. I want best battery performance. I always avoid android for only its heavy battery drain. Someone says to me 950 Battery Drain Quickly. But i know windows is always better for its battery Life . I want hole day battery life with, Facebook,Watch Viedo, Chat...means Average Use . Is it possible to 950 average hole day by one full Charge ? Please help me

  • Thanks for your inputs. I had almost decided to shift out from my iPhone 6+. But, now I wont.

  • Lumina 950: Good--screen, OS tiles, maps, browser (more capable than ios), one note Bad--Battery Life (won't quite make it through the day if you surf or read e-mail); check if apps are available for what you need before buying; Outlook mail sync is very very slow and to conserve battery life are every 2 hours or more unless you override and it's still a 3 minute + process instead of sub 30 seconds like all others; will not download gmail account pictures in outlook mail when received-only workaround is to forward received e-mail to another account such as hotmail which of course works taking 3+ minutes to sync per above (no love lost between MS and either Apple or Google); periodic bugs like won't respond to wake up button--that's normal for all MS products and usually get's fixed with updates Some day MS will make the best phone, just not today.

  • I had iphone 5s, yes its good and still supported. But when its winter and cold. You cant use it cuz it just says its too cold and shuts down to prevent dmg. But where i live there is winter for long and i cant even call, its not good. And its kind of small and camera is not that good anymore. So you cant tell ppl to just change :). ppl use windows phone for a reason , and you use iphone. I had iphone 6s plus 16gb for a few month, great phone. But poor memory and battery is avg. And its so damn expensive for a phone with built in battery and memory with no sd card slot. So i went back to windows :)

  • Ok so for my first impression when i opened the package. Wow so light weight, where is the battery?. Its inside? . its crazy how a good premium phone is soo feather light. Thats why i like the plastic builds. And microsoft makes them feel solid ! Have a feeeling i will love this phone and its camera!

  • Haha go back to lagdroid or the very good ios then. I like windows phone and this is just fun to read :p. My lumia 950 last forever cuz i dont really use the phone that much ;). If you used windows phone before and say this is not better. wow you must have gotten a broken one.

  • Doesn't looks like u even own Lumia 950 ...iam using it and lovin it...amazing phone..great battery life...best camera..dual sim...wireless charging...hey Cortana.....iris scanner...the latest update is killer 164...way better than android or ios...universal apps work great on my Lumia 950 and surface pro 4...get a life u trolls

  • Just stay with your Iphone. I bought my Lumia 830 for E 250,= new, no Iphone can be bought for this price !!

  • Lumia 950........ where do i start.... First of all th ephone is a pile of crap Apps do not work Properly. And the battery needs to on charge constantly had the update and on latest version but PLEASE Microsft pull ya fingers out ya arses and sort out these phones i am now stuck in a 2 year contract with a phone in my opinion a small camera as thats the only plus i can add to it. I have been using windows phones for years but after this one i think im changing and gonna have to buy a cheap sim free to replace this peice of crap. my Lumia 630 out performed this phone as internet, Apps worked, Charge lasted longer & camera was fine. Just wished i never got sucked into the camera on this phone unless you can improve the app market and actually catch up with tech andriod and ios have had for years these are going to be a pointless buy and think its like stepping backwards buying these phones DONT BUY....

  • I love my 3 year old iphone 5s, working perfectly alltime and updates with new cool stuff just keep coming , next week ios 9.3 big update, cant wait for it. If you lumia guys want working nice phone , dump your not working lumias and buy cheap 5s.

  • Its a software bug... can tell me which software ver u on..i think a hard reset is best

  • Funny I have been using windows phones since 4 years now... found it one of the best os ever... smooth... and good battery life... lovely live tiles... glance screen, wireless charging... used LUMIA 1020..now to LUMIA 950...never had any issues... only when I updated to Redstone,,, there were bugs... then went back to latest update 164...and phone is working great... one of the best phones ever used... the best camera ...living images...sd card slot... dual sim... wireless charging..iris scanner works 90% for me...2k screen...Cortana is awesome... better than sir or Google now...I do use android also...soo I know bad battery life and lags look like...

  • Hi, Can anyone help me for the below listed issue. I would like to know whether its a software issue or hardware issue? My 950 is just 1 month old. When I press power button to unlock the phone the screen wont responds. The display remains off. After pressing the power button twice the phone becomes active for unlocking. This issue happens randomly. Like in a day I might encounter 5 to 10 times. And it depends on usage. Surely its not continuous .. Can anyone guide me in this regard. Its the defect with device ? Thanks in advance.

  • Ah huh. After update yesterday. This thing works brillant. I'm loving the built in Skype messaging to. Great

  • To start off...I'm a longtime fan of Microsoft. I've been hooked on their phones and using a pc with windows. My computer and phone transferred my info which made work, apps and my music, all function together without having to convert files. LOVED IT. Constantly tried to get my friends to drop their phones and switch. Xbox music was great at taking my music off of my computer and making an amazing experience on my Nokia 820 and Windows 8.1. I actually had to fight and struggle with my carrier to get the Lumia 950. And now I am regretting windows 10 and this phone that my friends have named "Glitchy". The idea between integration of computer and phone are perfect for my business! I hope that they fix things before I jump ship. Here are the downfalls of my phone after about 1 month of use. 1. Everyone asks me to call them back from a land line because it echos back to them and they say it sounds "tinny". So I have a $600 phone that people ask me not to use when I speak with them. 2. Battery is larger, but I have to charge more often than the 820. 3. This phone gets HOT. It won't burn you, but it concerns me. 4. If I haven't received any emails or texts, I have to remind myself to check the service bars. The phone will randomly quit receiving and you need to shut off and start up again. I've missed work emails because of this. Not do to changing areas or out of service. It just quits working and it is up to you to notice that your phone is a dead brick. I have service in my office, but it still magically shuts down?? 5. Internet searches. Pull something up and start scrolling down. Find something and click. When you back out to search again, it starts you over at the beginning. You will have to scroll down and try to find your spot. It also does this in random files. Photos, downloaded files, xcell, word docs. A nightmare if you are using for work! 6. Xbox music has changed to groove music. I'm a music fanatic and this was a major selling point to my friends, in regards to switching to windows phone. Groove is NOT good. Lost all of my playlists with thousands of songs that I had sorted. Won't play songs from my computer library, but says that I can if I buy a pass. I NEED A PASS TO PLAY MY OWN MUSIC??? 7. Iris scan is cool to tell people about. But I look stupid trying to move my phone back and forth to get a scan while everyone else is already in their phones. Cool idea on paper. 8. Pictures are super clear and great video, BUT.... Picture lag between being able to take another photo is slow. Used to be able to touch anywhere on screen and now have to hit button. Friends Samsung can just, tap, tap, tap and there is a series of photos that are clear. I have a series of blurs. But GREAT pics if everything is holding still. 9. Touch screen will sometimes not respond. Have to keep tapping on the screen or turn off and on again. 10. Doesn't support Adobe Flash. This isn't a problem, if you don't want to watch videos from those sources. Ticks me off though. 11. Get used to wanting an app, going to download and not seeing Windows as an option. 12. The speaker is Amazing with great sound. Only downfall is that it is on the back of unit. Get a case with a stand so that you can see the display and not have muffled sound when laying on it's back. I really wanted to like this phone. Waited a long time to get it and even had to jump through all kinds of hoops to obtain it. Now I can't wait to get rid of it. Only 1 year and 11 months left with this piece of S*%#! Didn't anyone with Microsoft pick this up and try it out for a week? Add in all of the troubles with Windows 10 and you have a recipe for hours upon hours of trouble shooting with the support team. I'm in 4 hours so far. I should have bought something else.....anything else!

  • Finally after the last update from yesterday, seems like everything works.

  • alpha software, no good get android messenger nice with google UI, forget this rubbish samsung always win. I like updates regular..and lots of nice changes, windows phone is like having UBUNTU O/S LOL on pc . People laugh say what he using??..strange phone from another galaxy hahahahah, Toyworld Phone. I like to see wallpaper not zillion tiles.

  • LUMIA 950- I got new update version ( 10.0.10586.164). all applications updated. internet very fast.

  • you know what, lumia is very good quality phone.. camera, sound, touchscreen, etc. but the OS windows is sh*t. I will not use even u give me for free. trust me, i have a lot of bad experience.

  • This phone is shit by all means and in all aspects here's the brief Battery life is shit im not using the phone and at least i have to charge it in the middle of the day Apps the only words can describe it are under developed All apps missing features that already exist on ios and android years ago Getting warm while charging Lagging and sometimes needs to be restarted to work properly Lack of apps Even apps made for windows phone is running better on ios or android The only 3 advantages Camera is awesome Display colors an touch is the best ever Iris scan to unlock is excellent never mistakes and very fast and more faster than any fingerprints in all other devices

  • You can use the new feeling emoji's in the browser by holding your finger on "like" button.

  • Bougth this phone one month ago. I was always a Windows phone fan (Lumia 800,520,925). But this phone and Windows 10 are a joke. After one month The phone is always cracking, nothing works Like it should. This is a joke from Microsoft to sell a 500 euros phone that works Like a prototype

  • Xbox player has Radio in it

  • How to install imo?

  • You would have to download an app to use the FM Tuner, the app is not included when you get the device.

  • can i please ask if lumia 950 has or doesn't have fm radio app? i see it at specifications but i do not see it at the device reviews....

  • OK, Porting Apps into Wd smartphone from Apple store/Android store is a great idea. It's very encouraging for lumia users, but why it took so long to solved those problems, even after announcement of those project a Year earlier. At this rate, Microsoft Lumia market would surely vanished into the thin Air. Lumia demand is practically slipping down as fast as BB history today.

  • Why? Android apps are also on iOS, so why bothering with two projects if you only need one in the end? It's good they killed the android app porting project in favor for the iOS project of porting apps. Now they can fully focus on that. It is a good decision.

  • could you give any proof? last time battery life during webrowsing and chatting is terrible Phone use 30% battery per hour

  • Shut up about window 10 OS still in alpha or beta. why should Microsoft sell their phone in a buggy OS. this is sell for the public. not a demo units.

  • Gone! Microsoft "project Astoria" for porting Android apps into Wd smartphone confirmed Obsolete. Now, only "project Hysteria" remains. Soon lumia in RIP👅

  • Its because system still really in Alpha i believe, be along time before runs like android/IOS

  • Its not good Microsoft make Facebook, I cant use the new Like button with Emojis :(.

  • Microsoft operating system is unique and professional. They should improve their external design for the perfect combination both inside & out.

  • Lumia 950 - after latest OS update skype, WhatsApp, viber - contacts not working. anybody know how to solve this problem. ( reset OS and re-installed those apps).

  • Hi. I'm thinking of getting this as a replacement for the g4 so would you recommend it over g4

  • phone is great...the best windows phone till date...now it has most apps...camera is best with triple led flash...beats any phone around...display with 2k is superb...battery life is good...sd card slot iris scanner..dual sim...wireless charging...and smooth OS...now it depends what u want..thou I have 2 phones Lumia 950 and lg g4...but my main driver is Lumia 950..i also own surface pro 4 soo with universal apps windows ecosystem is the best and will only become better...

  • hey. it is OKAY. i bought as secondary phone next to my iPhone 6s. i replaced it with NOTE 5. yeah. i love changing phones regular. it is limited. buggy but FINE. be warned.

  • its called having a choice :)

  • Badly missed MedScape, CoC game PTC and free mobile recharge earning Apps on lumia 730, so I have to shifted back to Android smartphone again.

  • I'm thinking if i will buy this one or not. Still confusing, can you guys give me an idea. If this phone is great or not?. Thanks

  • Hey guys got the latest redstone update for Lumia 950 ds...the update is awesome...super fast and smooth...apps open in a jiffy...battery life is killer...keeps going on and on ..already 2 days and still have 20% left....having windows hello active and hey Cortana...and 20 apps active in background...

  • i actually like the 950. the picture quality is too dope!!!

  • Hahahahahahahahaha lol whatever.

  • Windows Phone will probably die like Symbian. All this time spent on Windows Phone is a wasted time and I don't want to waste it any more.

  • No 630 has 512 ram no win 10 for you!.

  • Well buddy you would see a person using Lumia 720 which is very old i am using Lumia 630 from mare than 1.5 yrs and I don't think i need to change my phone well it work fine without lag and will be getting a window 10 update soon so there is no need to buy A new phone. But in android phone will start lagging after 1 year max.

  • I know, and there seems to be more coming..... so what are people talking about? there are enough apps, unless most people don't have a life anymore....

  • I got OS update in Microsoft Lumia 950.

  • I think Lumia 1030 will best.

  • Please Microsoft follow the Nokia Lumia 735 size, Lumia 1020 screen type and follow The Nokia Lumia 925, iPhone 6 body style Mattel body. Space gray color. give fingerprint on windows logo. Back camera 2160p@60, 1080p@120, 720p@240, front camera 1080p@60, 720p@240. Follow Htc or Nokia N91, iPhone sound. I love Windows please make is best better then better. 16gb,32gb internal, external 200gb, Ram 3gb. Make a file transfer app, zapya. Transfer only files not apps like iPhone.

  • I got os updation

  • I know many people who wont put 10 on computer, spyware. What if lots spyware on phone also ?? you don't know right?.

  • Because they don't know what they are doing, and are leading consumers along, and running blind. In one year time, and constant bugs, will still say it be ok in 2months hang on lol. Well you had your chance horse bolted.

  • Yes finally someone with sense, i predict in six months it dying slow death or people still complain, there comes a time when one must surrender. I think now maybe a good time to jump ship before it sinks.

  • Not very many, and quality? how many have android got 10000000. Not to mention updates, be lucky if you get updated App in windows in 6 months. Updates are important with new features.

  • You will never see Snapchat on Windows phone, CEO hates Windows phone. In fact many developer cannot be bothered with windows a lot of time effort, its like running a phone full of Alpha Apps . Most Developers busy enough keeping up with Android and Iphone. I had Windows but now back to Android, I enjoy banking Apps again and i did not realize how much i missed out on. I'm not sure why people buy them and waste such big dollars like 950, I buy a phone to use, I love snapchat , It's dead end now.

  • Lack of apps is a big issue. I m using Lumia. Most of the contact using either android or I phone. No messenger calling, no imo etc

  • So where is Snapchat? There is always some alternative application e.g. 6tin for Tinder. My bank doesn't have application on Windows Phone but on iOS and Android there is no problem. Sick of alternatives. That number you wrote means nothing because 50% is more or less useless. Some of the main applications are missing on Windows Phone. And why should developer waist its time on WP when there is more chance to sell its product on Android on iOS.

  • 669.000 apps in the store right now.. so lack of apps? I think not!

  • Hello Guys After 2 months of use Lumia 950... It's good phone, I had a lot problems with battery life, but the key is switch off apps in background Now I have about 5% to 7% discharging rate per hour with Cortana on About apps... everything depends on developers If you don't believe you can try compare WhatsApp and Viber OS will be better with each update If MS will publish system updates every month, I recommend Lumia phones

  • Currently using my dual sim Lumia 530 as WiFi Hotspot for my Android tablet and nothing more. As I could not found any useful application except MetroTube, Storage cleaner and Monsters Castle in the Wd store.

  • The biggest problem with Windows Phone is lack of apps. There are some alternative apps but still it is not good. So far I had Lumia 925 and now I have Lumia 830. Since all Microsoft applications (One Drive, Office, etc) are on Android or iOS I believe buying a Windows Phone with limited number of applications is not a good decision and it is a biggest draw back and eventually will cost Windows Phone market share or life.

  • for me Lumia 950 exp is very very nice...iam a happy windows mobile 10 user...great piece of hardware...awesome camera...wireless charging...iris scanner...lots of bugs ironed out with latest firmware and latest OS...with universal apps Microsoft windows 10 and mobile have great future ...hope Microsoft create brand awareness and lot of marketing and good apps are on the store

  • Who knows where production was?

  • Wd OS is very stable, reliable... been in the business for more than 3 Years. But the biggest drawback is deficiency of user's choice applications in store. Lumia users automatically compare the applications availability with Android Android and straight away discarded it.

  • Simple the best... ;)

  • Can´t agree more. It was my choice to move to W10 on Lumia 950. I use it mainly for work and on more than 80% of the calls it looses the connection with the car audio, the phone freezes and come to live some minutes later. This is dangerous cause you tend to move your eyes from the road to see what happens. I knew that on applications Windows Phone are far behind compared with Iphone or Andriod but even the most used like Shazan have bugs. Never expect this from Microsoft. Can´t understand how Microsoft allowed this phone to come to the market.

  • iPhone 6: Apple Software Update Disables Phones Repaired by Non-Apple Technicians, Reports Say The issue affects iPhones that had a home button repaired by a third party, news outlets report. Thousands reported their iPhones were "bricked" after installing Apple's iOS 9 software update.

  • Don't use the hands free of Microsoft by any other n try it really works better

  • Bought Andorid phone first, sold it next day. Now with Lumia 950 happiness came back:)

  • It's unlikely that Microsoft can redeem itself in the smartphone market now. Just look at overall sales of Windows Phone devices, for example. Microsoft’s Windows Phone, until now, had sold just 110 million units in its entire existence, compared with Android and iOS' 4.5 billion. Microsoft's problem is not the Lumia brand. Sure, the firm thinks that, given the 30 percent increase in Surface tablet sales, lumping smartphones into this brand will give it similar success. The problem is Windows 10 Mobile, an operating system that had the potential to give Apple and Google a run for their money in the smartphone market, but ultimately failed given its bugs and arguably worsening app selection. Microsoft is trying to convince smartphone buyers that it stacks up against iOS and Android when it comes to applications, but it remains a long, long way off. RIP Windows Phone. It was fun while it lasted

  • go to audio settings & turn off all dolby settings

  • According to my experience, which I had iPhone 5s before, HTC one, and Lumia 950 now, just forget it. It is the worst phone I ever had or heard about that. find yourself as far as you can from Lumia 950.

  • Do you an update, the phone initially cam out with a bug, which they fixed within the first 2 days... just update your phone and your battery life will be significantly better

  • Kk dude then pls.. Tell me about ur "experience" with ur 638 in the past 6months.. And i will share n teach ma 3 yrs of experience with ma Lumia 520.. Yesterday i updated to latest built 10586.71... Works fine.

  • When I m playing song in it.. It started louder bt after few seconds its volume become slower if is it in full volume also...I take it Microsoft Service Centre... Bt they told me tht its as in all 950 model..So can sumbdy help to shuttout this prblm

  • Should be a crime releasing 1/2 baked O/S for sale, I think sell mine as many apps get stuck in store, and freeze horrible. My battery dies in less than day, my friends cheap android last two days Make me very angry. My Cheep 532 better than this, i return refund google much better.

  • Really this phone has FM radio, or only internet radio? If it has a FM radio, how to use? I can not handle it... The same problem with the barometer, if it has a barometer how to use? Thank you!

  • u mean 1% market share

  • The best phone!!

  • Boy, you need to learn a lot. I can't leave you in dry state.

  • you really love trolling don't you

  • Kk sam uncle.. Now u leave this place.

  • I think Msofty should give them away to entice people to come over. I think they missed the boat now, %10 of share, top devs are android/iphone. If i was to spend this kind of money would be iphone.

  • Worse Microsoft mobile phone ever seen in my life. Most of thef applications are not running in this model.

  • Baby, I have used lumia 638 for 6 months as my secondary phone. And have done all windows 10 blabbing in developer mode. It was nothing more in change than just few visual gimmicks. So don't rattle here about your windows 10, it's as hollow as Windows 8.1 was or even worse.

  • Nice phone I'm using this and I dint seen the phone like this. I'll give 100 out of 100 point. Thanks microsoft

  • I'm afraid that you made msitakes when installing email synchronisation. This has nothing to do with the OS or hardware! I read may comments who have nothing to do with the phone but are user mistakes. Pls read the manuals before making comments.

  • I'm using the 950 now for 8 weeks without a singel crash or hang! Sending many sms's/email/whatapp's etc without a single proplem. Or you are doing something wrong or your phone has a problem. This phone is the best I ever had! The camera is, by far, the best camera on a smartphone without any doubt, easy to use and and very, very stable!!

  • bro simple rule when u upgrade to new software or firmware...always format your phone and start fresh...only back contacts... here maps are back for windows mobile 10... iam using Lumia 950 and is very happy with it... iam using windows 10 mobile on my Lumia 1020 and Lumia 535 both working great

  • Recently I upgraded from L930 WP8.1 to L950 WP10. System software needs a lot work to be done. Shame that WP10 does not support "Here drive+", "Lumia story teller", and few other app's which was by my humble opinion very good. Microsoft maps works, but not like "Here" before. There is no option to download other language. I'm not native eng. speaker, and I would like to have an option that my phone is on eng. and nav app on other language like it was on "Here drive+" . Speed test show that my download speed is only ~5Mbps even do I'm connected on to N WIFI, and ISP provide 50Mbps. My old phone was working on ~20Mbps. Maybe it is app problem, but I don't know. "People app" have an option to create something called "GroupMe", but I don't want to. So I would like to have an option to remove that. If you go in to "People" you will always end up in to contacts, even if you live from one of your group. Pictures from people are smaller than before, why? "Word" can't open an *.txt!!! Ridiculous! "Weather" crashes from time to time. Someone here suggested that one a week remove battery to experience " beater performance"!? If I wanted that I would buy an Android phone. I know, similar was with my L930 from beginning. I was even thinking to return the phone. Just writing this, and hope someone will reed it. Greetings to all!

  • ... I have problems with Lumia 950 !!! The phone crashes many times !!! for example: when I write an SMS, or tiping comments on facebook or using messenger ... or when he wants !!! I had a Lumia 930 before and sometimes it did it the same tricks, than I "refreshed back" on windows 8.1 and the problem was solved ! I don't know what to do with my 950 ?!!?!?

  • Thanks

  • thanks (Y)

  • Dude i mentioned 640xl ..for it's 3000mah Battery... Wats ur prblm.. U were only able to use 640xl for 3 days!!!!.. And it was in wp 8.1 ..not w10.. There r differences in os wen u compare the w10 in 950 with w10 of 640xl.. 640xl doesn't have features like "hey Cortana " , iris scanner etc.. Am using ma lumia 520 for 3yrs...now updated to w10.. So i have a huge experience than ur 3 days experience.. Ur mistake ..u tried to use a windows phone Like an android phone.. Get some facts then comment..

  • If you have upgraded from Windows 8.1 to Windows 10, then yes, you can downgrade to 8.1.

  • No it was shipped with 10, had u updated it yes...but Msoft never made 8.1 firmware for it

  • I have a question: can I install windows 8.1 on this phone - Lumia 950 - because windows 10 is killing me ?!?!

  • it is indeed an iris scanner, not the lame face recognition... unimpressed with your misinformation

  • Used 640xl for three days, returned. It was copy of lumia 638 with bigger screen and better camera. Don't talk about hardware specifications,everyone know that. The OS is problem here. Whether you buy 520 or 950, everything is same, even performance except better hardware. And windows apps, waiting for years to get official YouTube, Instagram, snapchat, amazon and what not.

  • Need to make widows 10 as good as 8.1, bit cluttered at the moment. Not as simple, and fix Facebook App as i think child designed it... Missing many features Roid Has

  • I'll check your solution and let you know results Thank you!

  • Hello After over one week of use I have mixed feelings Most apps which I use works fine. System works fine, in one week time I had 2 situations when app crashed Major problem for me is battery Average time between charge was 8 hours with the best results 15h 52 minutes (phone disconnected before night, so - 7 hours sleeping time) Two days ago I started use phone in battery saver mode Here is any solution I achieved 20 hours 41 minutes on Sunday and 18h 11m today So or reduce brightness to 25% and stop most apps in background or start use battery saver every day

  • Dont ever buy it if u dont know how to use windows. I love my lumia 625 more than any new android i own.

  • This phone is terrible. I was a huge Nokia Lumia fan, and upgraded to this. Worse mistake of my life. I can't send texts to more than one person without starting a group, I can no longer text pictures. The alarm that used to start with a low chime now blares at first chime. The message notification doesn't update to show that the email or text has been read for a while. It seems to queue my email messages rather than send them to me automatically (from hotmail no less). The on button with the case is hard to push. I wish I could go back to my old Nokia.

  • Guys using the phone around 1 month...awesome device...thou os has some bugs..but with each update..its getting awesome...very good battery life...max have got 1 days 4 hours...avg battery life is 16 hours with 20 apps in background and with hey Cortana active and windows hello...guys best is to keep mail sync to every 1 hour... keep brightness to 25%...to get good battery life...and make sure to do a battery pull atleast once a week...to get better phone performance and battery life... iam very very happy with my phone...my friends are going crazy asking which awesome phone is this with awesome camera and powerful flash...and livin images...

  • Dude it is iris scanner.. Can work in dark room .. Twins can't fool it..

  • Dude windows phone doesn't need bigger battery to work ..like in android.. K then wat about galaxy s6??.. Ever heard about Lumia 640xl..5.7 " display.. 13mp cam.5mp selfie cam.. 3000mah battery.. Can last upto 2 days in moderate use. Use one them comment..

  • i think if u like windows os then its better to buy 950. if u dont then go for iphone 6s. but i guess the camera will be pretty awesome in 950!!!

  • 3000mAh for a 5.2 qHD display??? in 2016? are you kidding? No, Microsoft, thank you.

  • This is not iris scaner and this tech is used way years ago in Sony,not impressed at all!

  • So all in a nutshell which one to go for between 950 & 6s.

  • After ~2 months usage, its hard to decide whether I rather like it or hate it. Apps like Shazam either work instantly and recognise a song for a second, or don't do it at all. Edge is pain in the ***, since it constantly restarts when I use certain websites. Some functions like quiet hours are way harder to use compared to Android. Cortana is also harder to use compared to Google Talk. Other than that, I like the OS more than Android. News, weather, Office apps work better and are more sophisticated than in Android. Hardware is top notch in my opinion, yet you can find an even better one for a more modest price tag. So far I didn't experience any lag, although there are some random false notifications (Example: got a notification for lack of space, although most of it is empty) Really hope further updates would fix the performance, and would smooth windows experience

  • Guys, currently Im using lumia 920 (8.1) now i want to change my phone. I'm a die hard windows phone fan. But after reading these comment I'm little confused. Help me. Now i want to know iPhone 6s or Lumia 950 ???

  • Stats since 17/01 Longest battery lifetime: 15 hours 52 minutes Av time between charges: 8 hours 56 minutes I'm starting use mobile in battery saver mode except Viber, WhatsApp Let you known results

  • Amazing device! Incredible hardware and camera from outer space! OS is great as well and gets better in every update. Best device i ever had.

  • What are the problems? What apps are missing?

  • In short? The worst smart phone I had so far. I got it from work and it's close to impossible to use for private use due the the lack of apps. Tech specs are fine, the OS ruins everything.

  • After 5 days of use During use tweetium phone reboot Longest battery life time: 15 hours 52 minutes Average time between charges: 8 hours 2 minutes I have charge mobile twice times a day I start charge when battery has level 15% I'm heavy user with 4 mailboxes WhatsApp Viber Messenger, Tweetium, webrowsing But It doesn't matter because problem is in screen Use too much power in comparison to rest apps and hardware components

  • it is a great phone with great hardware and good specs. but all this is spoiled by the OS which is still unfinished or work in progress, full of bugs... I am using this for 3 weeks and already annoyed and disappointed with the Lumia 950. believe me I was windows phone lover who switched my family too, to this platform. now I am changing my opinion.

  • If camera and music preferences, buy it. Otherwise get something useful. Dont shed your money on this. Every windows phone is same. If you are interested Buy and try one for 5000. You are not going to get anything special in 5000 except better camera, screen, speaker. 3gb ram and processor hardly make any difference is user experience. Windows phone are failure.

  • Battery life after a week of use is on avg. 5 hours. I have tried switching of every thing including data connection. When I look at the battery use the display takes up 70%. I did change the brightness to 25% but this does not help. Can someone please assist?

  • After 3 days of use Lumia 950 Longest battery life time: 15h 52m Average time between charges: 7 hours 45 minutes

  • Bro just use transfer my data app that comes pre installed on Lumia phones

  • Buddy.... I'm not working for Microsoft. But wants to work. I'm a Microsoft fan. I agree that many apps & feature available on other platforms.I posted this only for people who wants windows/Lumia but hesitating due to some negativity.

  • I have bought the lumia 950 but it is a pitty that not even the local Voda shop can assist me in transfer my information to this phone from a Nokia lumia 925 and nobody even know why the 950 have a memory card and how to safe information on to it .I NEED HELP

  • i need the opinion of users lumia950...i am about to buy this phone and hesitated....shall i go forward or change my mind and why?...thanks in advance

  • I agree you'd be crazy to splash out money on this, get a budget one if anything. Now Microsoft are supporting IOS with their word flow keyboard..Hahahh fix windows 10 first ..Who runs this company?. Monkeys...maybe they sell of lots of 950 to support IOS lol

  • Ooie ! When did you try carrying laptop in your trouser pocket ?

  • You should probably get a new laptop then....

  • Try to Go in map and location settings as I said path your phone will get hang and not re start without removing battery

  • Y Sony xperia z5 premium has priced 59000₹.?? Does the laptops u mentioned below 50000 has 20mp n 5mp cam, 1 day battery life, etc??? Get lost lagdroid fan..

  • Even my windows 10 laptop is cheaper than this phone.. why the hell in the world should I pay for it!!!

  • Such a shame that there is no FM transmitter. I use it alot on my 808. But I will get an bluetooth receiver for my car. On another note, using my bluetooth headphones with this phone disables the windows equalizer hence I am looking for an app there has a built in equalizer. Anyone knows? Im using a dual sim 950 with motorola rokr bluetooth headphones. And I am having issues with the USB OTG. It doesnt seem to be working. Anyone having issues with the latest build? 10.586.29?

  • Windows 10 is the classy and most referenced OS in the world... but they bundled it with the sort of cheap thing... please MS, bundle it with high class material and design... make it balanced...

  • anyone know if the FM Radio works on the 950? Microsoft says the 950 has the hardware but isn't enabled due to missing software to support. GSM Arena specs and review says phone has FM Radio but might require download of FM Radio app from store. what's truth. Anyone actually use the FM Radio on the 950?

  • You should update your device from settings and phone update! Then after the update is completed, update core apps from Store; since, CORE apps are updating, it can get random reboots or crashes! Because the app which you are using RIGHT NOW may be the app trying to get updated in background! Windows 10 is completely different OS; even C++ and Store update is sent via Store! Adding features to Win 10 don't need full OS update, like iOS! Bugs can be fixed even via Store updates! So, update first, and then the phone will work like charm.

  • Lumia 950 is freaking fast! Messenger is still slow though! The newer and Universal Messenger app is coming this month! Whatsapp runs fantastic!

  • Battery life has improved since release. The new update that's only available on insiders is supposed to be another huge improvement.

  • Does it support otg cable

  • No infact i get good battery life...at times 1 day 4 hours...with heavy use 16 to 18 hrs...

  • Bad battery life?

  • It is way faster than those phones, remember its a newer phone, so it would not use older parts

  • this is a really good device , really fast

  • Agreed,

  • I think your just trolling

  • 1. Nokia Apps for Lumia phones were more cutting edge than Microsoft's replacements. 2. Nokia is a better Software Engineering Company than Microsoft. They somehow develop efficient software and there is proof in the Lumia Camera, and other Nokia Apps such as Nokia Maps, Nokia Driva, etc. which were available for Windows 8.0/8.1 3. Windows 10 Phone is more well laid out but it is more resource hogging than Windows 8.0/8.1. Windows 10 eats more battery more quickly than Windows 8.0/8.1 4. The camera apps are not as efficient as Nokia Apps. 5. First of all the Apps were very few in number on Windows Store. But atleast they used to download and install very quickly on Windows 8.0/8.1. On Windows 10 the apps take for ever to download and to update they even take longer than they take to download. I don't understand Microsoft, Why change what is working well and then degrade the quality even further by introducing something new that does not work as efficiently as the previous versions. They old lumias 4 years older are more slick, and quick than the new Lumia 950. 6. The exterior design of lumia is also a shame. Why make a 5'2" inches screen. Look at iphone 6/6s 4.7" screen looks so amazing and the construction and build is top notch. 7. Microsoft is a big company which has a diverse pool of software engineers, but still they can't bundle an attractive Flagship smartphone. It is a shame. Windows Phone has alot of potential, but the Executive Leadership at Microsoft is paid to much for medicority. Its a Shame!!!!!

  • I am in love with my Lumia 950... It feels and works wonderfully and if you liked windows phone 8, you're going to be in love with WP 10... It's just an entirely different and better phone experience than with the apple/google clones... It's the best purchase I've ever made...

  • Does Windows 10 Phone contact have custom Label for the phone fields? Like, Work/Fax/Mobile field, any custom label? Please let me know those who have bought it.

  • I av been using window phones since its inception around 5 yrs ago. I wish to buy the latest lumia 950 and need to be convinced about the new OS. Is the new Windows 10 compatible with most of the sites like Facebook, watapp, etc? Is it faster than the previous phones? Cos I presently use lumia 925 and is so slow on watsapp and face book messenger. Please advice between lumia 930 and 950. Tnx.

  • Guys been using the awesome Lumia 950 dual sim since 3 weeks now... I upgraded from Lumia 1020 which I used for nearly 3 years... the phone is very good... awesome camera.... very very fast... great screen... getting good battery life's..got mozo cover with red leather with gold rim... and phone is looking like limited edition... So far iam very happy.... and see great future in windows 10 mobile

  • sunil, that is GEOFENCING, a geofence is a boundary around a place of interest, and apps can use your location to see if you're crossing in and out of one.to stop apps from using your location for geofencing, turn off location for those apps. one or more of your apps are currently using geofencing. ( think and do change settings don't make misunderstand).

  • Lumia 950 user,try on your phone,go on map when location is off than Clik on my location symbol it will take you in settings for location on than came back on map and try to off the location though only shortcuts keys phone will get hangs,dead and not restart without battery removing for this problems I replaced my 1st handset but still problems with 2nd handset this may be design issue

  • Windows 10 Mobile is slick , Iris-scanning lockscreen , Continuum is its best trick.

  • I Think 10 is being rushed out to quick.

  • Very true but they need to hire another 5000 mobile people, fix this mess. Win 8.1 denim you can get to things easier, 10 has to many sub menue. Hurts my brain navigating, its a bit to bouncy for me, but maybe buggy. Keyboard i prefer 8.1, need to fix things there it's very hard to see things, and Emoji needs updating like IOS. I don't like that call button down near text where you type should be moved. 10 is nicer but lots of work, as for Apps yes they are nice unique but Facebook being the no 1 app, its a hot mess that needs Fixed ASAP not in 6 months. I use it daily and least expect it to work with same features as IOS and Android.

  • Use file attacher n then send every one what uwant

  • Got the new update w10 10586.63.. Works fine

  • Want to ask one question. whether lumia 950 fully support Flash player or no ? Decision to buy or not depend on that feature.

  • You can't attach anything other than pictures for reply mail. However you can select document and pick share option and select your mailID configured in mobile to send document as attachment.

  • can anyone tell me how to reply a mail by attaching a document with it. Every time when i try to reply a mail , in attachment windows phone shows only photes. Please help me to solve this problem.

  • Microsoft produce good products, average products, and bad products - just like every other company. For example... Windows 7 I really liked Windows 8.1, in my honest opinion, was absolutely rubbish. Windows 10 I really like Windows Phone 7 was trash, windows phone 8 was ok, Windows phone 10 looks much better. On the other hand, Windows tablets are (IMHO) by far the best on the market. Simply because every tablet with Android or IOS is always going to have very limited functionality - just an oversized phone minus the phone functionality, more or less. Proper Windows 10 tablets however give you all the functionality of a fully fledged desktop PC - that includes the ability to run proper Windows applications, view full desktop versions of websites, full flash support, join domains and HomeGroups, easily install printers, etc. That's a level of functionality that no Android or IOS tablet can offer. With Continuum, Microsoft phones are taking one big step towards having that same type of advantage. A business could potentially save thousands and thousands of dollars by supplying staff with just a phone and dock that can go in their briefcase/handbag...they could move seamlessly from home to work, and from one office to the next, and just connect their phone (with dock) to whatever spare desk is available. Much cheaper (for the company) and more practical (for the user) than having to carry a largish laptop, 4G card, laptop bag, etc.

  • I can only assume you work for Microsoft? Because that list you just made sounds like a marketing list straight from MS. I'm an Android user (have been for years) and have never considered IOS - I have used multiple IOS devices, and IMHO they are absolute rubbish. However, Windows phones since around 8.1 have actually intrigued me, so I have (for some time) considered getting one just to experiment with. I've upgraded my desktop, laptop and tablet all to Windows 10 and I am incredibly impressed with how adaptable the OS is. I hated Windows 8 and 8.1, but since upgrading from Windows 7 to Windows 10 I haven't looked back. Only reason I'm saying all this is to establish that I am not an anti-MS person, or a "won't touch anything but Android" person. Now, with that said, I think a lot of items on your list here are incredibly optimistic. Some such points... 1. Best possible camera Years ago, Nokia really broke ground by being the first manufacturer to release a phone with a camera that could legitimately compete with a dedicated point-and-shoot. Every since that day, every Nokia fanboy has somehow got the impression that EVERY Nokia camera is now superior. Right now, there are a number of Android devices with seriously impressive cameras (S6, G4, Z5) and as much as I hate to admit it, even the iPhone 6S camera is pretty impressive. Nokia cameras are no longer so superior...in fact they might not be superior at all. 2. All apps are available (useful apps, not garbage) Firstly, this is just a straight up lie. I've gone to the app store on my Windows 10 Tablet, and the selection of apps really is woeful. I'm not the kind of person who wastes my time on games and the like - I have a bunch of apps on my android phone which are extremely practically useful, and very few of those apps are available from the Windows store. Those that are, often do not work properly. For example, Trello is a fantastic app that I use for organising just about everything - and on Microsoft Edge browser it runs jerky. Another example is Viber - works perfectly on every android device I've used, but on my Windows tablet it works poorly. There is no button to directly take a photo and insert it - you need to take a picture manually with the camera app, then open viber, then browse to the file, then attach it. Likewise when I run the tablet in tablet mode and tap in the text box to type a viber message, it doesn't recognise it's a text box and automatically bring up the on-screen keyboard...instead I have to manually press the keyboard button, and then the keyboard appears over the top of the text box so I can't see what I'm typing. One Drive is not really an advantage - it's not any different to using something like Dropbox. Hardly an advantage. Office apps - also not an advantage, since you can get these on Android now. Smooth OS a PARTIAL point. That's because my current android phone (LG G4) runs 100% smooth with no slowdowns or lag ever, so Windows being smooth isn't really an advantage for me. For those with older android phones (from 3 years ago or before) it is a fair point, since Android devices were sluggish then...but most modern flagship devices are super smooth now. Unique OS design - again that isn't an advantage, that's just a distinction. Offline navigation with voice guidance - Android phones have supported this for years. Edge / IE being the best web experience...that is very debatable. Quick settings in action center - Andoid has a ton of these too. Quit hours - Android has the same type of thing (called priority mode) Wallet for online payment - Android has this too Skype can be downloaded for free on Android. Really there are maybe only a handful of things you listed that are legit advantages, such as: - Cortana - Lens - Photosynth - Continuum - Creative Studio I think that's really about all.

  • Have you really make Mobile windows 10

  • I will not ask you "why do you like other OSs/Devices" but I can give you many reasons to Purchase/Love a Lumia/WindowsPhone devices. I have done this many time with friends.

  • Microsoft products are very good. we can trust for buy.

  • Hi. I recently bought a Lumia 950 and I must say am so disappointed. The first phone I used for about 20 min then the buttons collapsed (froze), Sent it back and got a new one the same thing happened within 10 min. I suggest Microsoft check their settings under narrator coz once you press that button the phone breaks down.

  • Hey.u... Am using ma 520 for last 3yrs..now upgraded to w10 (10.10586.36) via insider program.. Works fine.. Can u name a 3yr old 512mb ram device which can run on latest lollipop or marshmallow?? Now i cal u a fool..kk

  • That's true guy. The only drawback is lumia users hardly found their required applications in Window store for personal as well as serious business purpose.

  • foolish, you see windows 10 Jury out in July i see u here.

  • "...we can trust" oh Boy, had to laugh out loud as read this !

  • Did Windows 10 have Cortana

  • no imo :(

  • Microsoft products are very good, we can trust.

  • Troller..

  • 3 months and failing to realize that windows phone is f***ing different from android?

  • learn to make an understandable sentence first

  • nope, Lumia 950 can have 2 rows of medium tiles on 400% scaling

  • We shall see till the fat lady sings!

  • Well it's true right?..I loved windows till 10 came out, but the app gap oh so depressing.

  • Yes it comes with Here Maps and Here Drive, free navigation. Download the maps you want or need and you can use navigation offline.

  • I Wanna buy this phone as an alternative to my DSLR. Are there any other phones worth considering before I buy this?

  • Apps availability??? 600000 apps and counting ..almost all major official apps r available in the windows store.. Pls dont mention fancy apps seen in google play store..did play store has "fantasia painter app"?..its way better than abode photo editor apps seen in play store. Use a windows 10 device then comment.. And ma frnd is using his s3 as a paper weight now..

  • Dude.. 950 cost 650$ ..and 950xk cost 750$ ..that includes microsoft dock.. Where did u get 900$??.. Also am using 520 with windows 10 mobile 10586.36..works fine..

  • Hahhaahah or paper weight.

  • The messenger facebook apps are very behind, I went back to android oh it's so nice to have something that works, and no lag on my new droid. After seeing that windows 10 hot mess i knew the ship had sailed. To pay $900 for dis is just a crime lol.

  • Great phone but I'll keep my 930 for a bit longer. I would definitely want the brown leather Mozo cover for this or the XL, that looks superb.

  • Yes it support offline navigation you can choose which part of the world's map to be downloaded, the then you don't need data or WiFi to use navigation and map, there are also several third party apps and providers for mapping and navigation, some are free and some are not.

  • yes but you have to diwnload the map for offline use.

  • Can you tell me if this phone has offline GPS i.e. NAvigation without internet

  • Again app gap problem.. Dude.. 600000 apps and still counting.. Except snapchat..all other messenger apps are available.. Many hd games are available..asphalt series, etc.. Xender,shareit are available.. Also apps like fantasta painter app which u won't find in android play store are available in windows store.

  • 950,950xl supports usb otg cable.. No prblm..

  • I want to buy this phone, but the thing which stopping me from buying it is the wifi issue, does it really have that issue?has anyone encountered such issue?

  • The Device is fantastic speed / best camera ever i used on any smartphone WIndows 10 is so great Battery is so good for heavy using 16 hours i love it :)) they just need add some apps from Google play .. but they so good for now i got this device and S6 Edge Plus ... they so good both

  • Have you ever heard of Microsoft Lumia 435, 532, 535, 540, 640, 640XL and the latest 550? They are all Microsoft Lumia "budget" phones...

  • The Phone That Works Like a PC. Microsoft giving free Display Dock with Lumia 950/950xl. I got it.

  • Does it support otg cable

  • You obviously not used one, cant have 2 tiles has to be 3 .

  • Applications availability for the platform is very very important. What do you call the beauty of premium phone, without the most required Apps. HIBERNATION !

  • Did lumia 950 came with inbuilt "Flash Player",enable to directly playing video and mp3 music from the websites without downloading. It's very essential for all online jobs and business from the smartphone.

  • After couple of weeks using this phone, I'd say this is a good phone. Overheating at the first time, but after the phone and apps updated it runs smoothly. I love the camera, the design, the easy accessibility, and yes it is a computer in your hand. Nevertheless, I gave less score for the battery and the apps still behind the ios or android. Overall, I am quite satisfied with this gadget and keep up the good work for Microsoft.

  • You wanna make jokes join the circus

  • Lumia 950 a very good phone, very fast,good display, this is a mini computer. a computer in our pocket. thanks MICROSOFT.

  • Microsoft should first started eco.. construction from the basement level,(i.e budget version smartphone, tablet etc...) instead of directly airlift to the top floor, discarding all the general publics on the ground. Remember, how Nokia Lumia 520 along surpassed the sell of all flagship lumias combined together in 2014.

  • Go and watch youtube video about the using and tricks of Lumia camera apps.. Also u can put gold or metal rimed back covers from monzo team..

  • If that so, I will asked someone to remove the camera app and select the camera that suit my taste and if possible I will ask him to change the cover to gold plated.

  • Have try Lumia 950 camera , not as good as my Lumia 535 because cant take pictures directly with touch screen.

  • Have test the camera , not as good as my previous lumia 535 because can't take pictures directly with touch screen.

  • Lumia 940 doesn't exist

  • What nonsense you talking ,need to bring back? You can customize how much rows you want,some people even have 4

  • Can anybody tell me what is good and what is bad at Lumia 950 phone?

  • Awesome looking phone. Would've been perfect if it was android. SAD!!!

  • They need to bring back 2 row columns, 3 sucks a bit

  • What it has always has that feature ignore on phone, whats that got to do with skype on pc?

  • W10 devices like 950 n 950xl has usb support.. Also w10 became more polished. Edge now better than internet explorer Better UI wen compared with w8.1. More toggles in action center.. Notification are improved Curser controlling nob in keypad.. Microphone in keypad. U can change keyboard language by swiping the space bar in keyboard.. More language supports.. Settings are shown in categories now. Display size can b reduced down for small hand users..by pressholding windows button.. Background image on start screen. Store has improved much..can download two apps at a time.. Can assess all the files in the phone/sd card memory with the help of built in file explorer. Improved photo hub..have more option for each pics..folder view,album view. Etc.. And many more.

  • what is diffrence 8.1 vs 10 in 10 only 3g lock available

  • Is lumia 940 and 950 are same? If no where is 940 spec?

  • I always use my Android smartphone for online earning business, earning $150- $300 per month,never spend money from my pocket for mobile data or talktime recharge this days. Want to buy lumia 950, but very doubtful about Apps availability + Wd OS restriction blocking all those earning business. Needs Help !

  • Did you use google translate on your android to piece your comment together?..

  • I cant use dis fone, appz crashin n batrey flat. My Roid was betta than this what givez??

  • Thanks for the advice..I'll let u know how it goes..

  • Hey bro congrats on that... i would advice u too 1st upgrade the phone to the most recent update my microsoft...iam sure the boxed phone come with ver 11...now current is 36...dont back up any old data from yr old phone ..only back up contacts ...once all set then install your sim...and also update all apps before installing the sim..good luck...i have installed the mozo case red leather with gold rim and its a beauty ...

  • Abe, you make too much sense. You are spot on. I see a lot of posts about 'problems' that have East and Obvious answers. Those posters just don't have anything significant to do.

  • So far so good 😊 loving the camera very much.

  • Vector Smart watch is great and works awesome with windows phones

  • Hey Rob, Try giving your phone a hard reset and then DON'T restore your back-up. It helped me a little bit. I've also contacted Microsoft directly and they told me to reinstall the software by downloading the software recovery tool on your computer and using it on your phone. I haven't tried it yet because my phone's battery is doing quite fine now (still not great though), but you might want to give it a try :)

  • So far I'm not that satisfied with my Lumia 950. It's battery drains like crazy and it gets really hot during charging. I've hard resetted my phone without restoring back up and now it works a bit better, but still a lot of little bugs. Waiting for updates from Microsoft for improvement but everything together I have to say I love the phone anyways!

  • Good to hear you're enjoying the 950. I've just upgraded from the 1020 also. Phone on it's way today. I've good hope's for it after having the 1020 for 18 months but I've been a little worried about the 950 having read a lot of negative stuff. Per the spec sheet it looks a winner to me though. Cheers

  • Hey guys using my new Lumia 950 since few days now....soo far loving it..thou coming from Lumia 1020 getting use to the size...thou it's bit smaller than my lg g4...as 1020 was my main driver... I started using the phone only when i upgraded to latest firmware build 36 Battery life is decent as of now..around 15 to 18hrs with medium use...camera is great...love the living images and how u can adjust the flash after taking the picture... Phone very very very fast compared to my 1020..soo loving the speed. Soon will post proper review...iam sure w10m will only improve in the coming months...and many universal apps are joining the app store that's great... Got a new dt 903 wireless's charger for my 950 and I have surface pro 4 Soo totally lovin windows OS

  • Have you even tried windows 10 mobile on budget friendly Lumia,it works well with my Lumia 640,Microsoft have made budget and mid tier choices available,this is flagship model

  • Do one thing. Get a personal computer which is run by android. Then you start compare with windows. This is very good phone. All you need to learn how to operate before you place such commant. All OS do have there own good and bad. Once you know how to operated the windows phone you will not like any other phone. i too like blackberry OS.

  • Microsoft should gave more care to the general publics through an affordable lumias. To be frank, Wd10 lumia with only 1GB RAM is not an impressive feature at all. It would caused a great negative impact on all lumia's future. Coz, only few rich peoples will go for high end flagship lumia just for changing platform.

  • To the Microsoft band, but that's more a fitness tracker. Although it has many functions.

  • Impossible. Phone started shipping earlier this month.

  • Go to the care.

  • truly troller.. Haha. using for 3 month and that phone just released at November 2015

  • Is there complete skype like a pc

  • Troller...

  • è uno smartphone bellissimo

  • i have already ordered lumia 950 XL. I pick it up 0n the 29. i dont waste time with things like this.

  • Hello friends, I am new user of Microsoft (Windows) phone. I feel irritating with using this phone. I have used this phone since 3 months. I am going to tell you a true opinion regarding Windows phone. And I know that only android user can understand my pain. So I am starting with app. There are shortage of apps in Windows store. You can't find useful app as in Play store (Android store). Always email update is required. WhatsApp is not like real WhatsApp as in android. Its appearance is so odd. Android user can see the differences of WhatsApp. If you want to do new in this phone it means you have to learn a lot and practice much. This phone is not user friendly as like android phones. You can't keep backup of apps as in android it's very common feature. Hindi input keyboard is complicated. Appearance of many apps is not good such as emails if you add more than two gmails you can't identify the address of email. You have to remember like email 1, email 2,email 3. Battery backup is same as android phone. Some users say that battery backup is good but it's not true. There are a lot of cons of this phone. I really suggest you don't buy windows phone ever. Only some features like offline map, compass is good. Its lock screen, tiles and call screen are good. Camera is quite good. If anybody is saying that Windows phone is good, it means he or she doesn't use Android phone. That's why he or she doesn't know the real drawbacks of Windows phone. My best wishes is with you. Think it properly and then buy smartphone.

  • i have a Nokia Lumia 1520 and i cannot pair it to other smart watches like sony smart watch, is this Lumia 950 can be paired to any smart watches?

  • In regards to battery life.....I have had the 950 for approx. 8 days. The first four days of phone calls texting, some internet use.......charge made it through with only 2/3's charge use...But last 3 days, the charge lasted only 4 hours with little or NO use......last night, on a full charge(disconnected from charger) with NO use what so ever, phone was dead by morning(7 hours) sleeping......Charged up again that same morning.....Ideas!!!???

  • Well, I think you need to examine your needs and wants. As I said in my review, if you are happy with your current platform then you might prefer to stay on that platform. However, if like me, you are unhappy with your current platform, then this phone is worth considering. I am happy with my choice to switch. This is further validated by the more I use the phone and the more I uncover the integration points. I had yet another experience today that showed the tie in between phone and PC. I posted it in reply to my original post but needless to say, this phone feels very much like a continuation, extension of my PC which is pretty powerful.

  • I'm not quite sure yet. I just noticed that notifications on my PC were in sync with the notifications on my phone. Both were in the action center (notification window) on each device. As for reminders, those were showing up on each device's Cortana menu. Appts likewise are showing up on my Outlook calendar (since I am using Office/Outlook).

  • I thought I would share another interesting experience I had today. While sitting at my PC on a Skype call, my phone rang. I hit ignore so I could finish my business call. At that time, a dialog box popped up on my PC screen asking if I wanted to send a text reply to the caller. I hit yes and it gave me the option to type a message or use the default "I'll call you back soon" message. I selected the default message and it sent it back through my phone to the caller. Just another example of how the phone and PC experience are working together to be more productive. I had no idea it could do that, nor am I quite sure how it knew to pop that open on my PC. However, it was damn cool none the less. Nicely done Microsoft.

  • Question?...for notifications from phone appt/ reminder etc do i need action centre on PC or just Cortana on PC thanks

  • Well said Brotha, those ppl bitchin about win 10 bugs, apps this that need to learn patience. IOS has bugs android has bugs, android updates so fast i havn't time to change my undies! I don't want my phone updating 20 x a day. Submit feedback to Msoft let them fix it give them time, as it will be one of th best 0/s out. Devs will catch up with apps, as 10 is going to be on more and more pc's in 6months time, people will eat words as iphones/androids will be 2nd rate. Oh yes indeed i remember those days of "not responding" its nice not to see that message!!!!. ... I'm sure Msoft are working around clock to make things better...to many ppl bitchin on forums lately...head over to windows central and you see it. I am like you i love having extension of my desktop out and about. Hello Cortana!!! Goodbye Siri

  • go for it its nice phone !!

  • battery life Endurance rating 48h ?? What about battery life?

  • I am a WP lover and I would say that Windows offers a very fresh interface, unlike its iPhone and android contemporaries - they have almost similar layouts- those sissy looking icons in flowery backgrounds, so different from the hi-tech looking Lumia WP 10 layout. Second, WP offers an amazing internet and office experience unparalleled by other platforms. MS has pioneered office and its phones run it the best way. I easily do my office related tasks on my phone with a seamless experience. The future belongs to the cloud and WP is well prepared for it. The app-gap story of for people who sit around and have a lot of time to do nothing "useful" because WP offers all apps that are useful(some exceptions). In fact WP app store doesn't yet suffer from overcrowding by a large number of fake apps. With solid hardware and configuration to support W10, the 950 and possibly a surface phone in the future will be some of the best phones available to people who are tech-savvy.

  • Dear u have explained realy nicely whatever u observed. And more importantly u put nice effort to clear some debatable doubts over user experience on windows 10 mobile. I also looking for new device currently using Android based Note 3 since 2013. And I shortlisted IPhone 62 plus,Note 5, Lumia 950.i know these devices belong to 3 different OS. I am not a app junky. Will I looking for your advice,I also upgraded my laptop to window 10 PC so I am bit families with Redmond OS.

  • Windows Hello is working superbly so far. Hits every time. I can even unlock in the dark + wearing sunglasses. Retina scanning has a useful future ahead. Continuum is ok via miracast. Not the fastest, but acceptable if you had no other devices to use. It has a lot of potential too. There's no denying the plastic cover makes this phone look budget, but I have 2 mozo cases on the way too which will make it look like the most premium device instead!

  • Can it connect to Internet??? Mind blowing!!!

  • Thanks, becool79. 3rd party apps won't work on the European 950 devices at this moment. It might be different situation in some other continent. A downloaded FM-radio app only says device is not supported. It seems that the tuner is not even enabled by firmware.

  • there is fm hardware in the phone..just download fm app from the store and connect your handsfree and u are done....

  • There is no FM-radio (app) on the Lumia 950 at this moment. I don't why? I hope the Microsoft will tell us is the issue on hardware or just only product segmentation.

  • I picked up the Lumia 950 on launch day (Nov. 20th). This is my first ever windows phone so I am not a Microsoft fan boy or loyalist. What almost every review states is that there is nothing that would lure someone away from iPhone or Android...well, in my case, they were wrong. You see, some people out there are actually NOT HAPPY with iPhone or Android. I was one of those people. I had used iPhone for years, hated iTunes so switched to Android. Used Android for years, hated it so decided to give windows a try. Now, 1 month in and I feel like I have at least some experience with the phone to feel confident enough to talk intelligently about the good/bad of this phone. So, here is my impression. Most reviewers are talking about how this phone does not hold up to competitive platforms. I would have to say that that spending 2 days with a phone or even a week as a test vehicle is not enough to really understand where this phone shines. Furthermore, if you are not running Windows 10 on your PC and your Phone, then you are missing a powerful experience and quite frankly missed Microsoft's vision and message around Windows 10 as a holistic approach across devices. This phone is an extension of your PC experience, not separate from it. Look at it this way, if you are using an Android phone and a Windows PC, you are managing 2 different experiences. Sure you may have your exchange account on your phone and your email/calendars sync, but you are still managing 2 different experiences across 2 devices. Win 10 on the 950 looks and feels like an extension of my PC experience...this is HUGE and a key component of Microsoft's vision. Notifications, Cortana, contacts, menus and more are seamless extensions of the PC experience. Set a task, reminder, appt. in Cortana on your phone, it sets it on your PC and vice versa. The settings menu on the phone is remarkably similar to the settings menu on your PC. Notifications carry across from one device to the other. You see, you, your profile, your experience is the center, not your device. This is vastly different and really important to understand. You can't get that experience by testing the phone over a weekend...you need to use it as a daily driver for an extended period of time to appreciate just how fluid the experience really is and why it matters. How reviewers are missing this really important piece is beyond me... So, let's talk app gap. I get that for some people this is really important. If you work/life is dependent upon a specific app, and that app is not on Windows, then maybe the phone is not for you. For me, this was almost a non issue. I looked at my Android phone and the apps I had on there and the apps I used frequently. Every app I used with the exception of 3, yes 3, were available on Windows phone. Now the 3 that were missing were a little painful but I found workarounds for them so in the end, it was not a showstopper for me. As for stuff like snapchat, frankly I really don't care as social media apps are not on my needs list. As for reviewers that complain about premium look/feel. This is another one I don't understand. As someone else pointed out, most people I know all slap cases on their phones so does it really matter what a phone looks like if it is just getting covered up anyway? It's a phone, not a piece of art you hang on a wall. In terms of features, this phone is on par with every other high end phone out there. Similar cores, similar ram, similar screen specs, similar size, similar performance, battery life, etc. So you really can't say this is not a premium spec phone with any credibility at all. Factor in features like expanded memory slot, wifi sense, storage sense, ability to attach files to emails, native office applications, continuum, miracast that actually works, killer camera (best I have ever seen), beautiful screen, usb type c, and as referenced, seamless phone/pc experience and you have a really, really good phone. As for the bad stuff or stuff that needs improvement? Yes, there is some of that as well. I have seen some minor bugs. Nothing that I have not experienced on other platforms but they are there none the less. Are they annoying? Yes but that is true regardless of platforms. However, there are some things I think they need to address. For example, one nice thing I like about android is that I could organize my contacts for quick dialing. I could create groups, favorites, etc. I could see about 12 contacts on the screen at one time in my favorites list...with windows, I see only have that many by line entry. Is that a showstopper? No, but annoying. Microsoft could stand to use the screen real estate a little better that way. Stuff like showing my phone number will calling folks should be in the phone setting (as it is) but should also be in the Privacy screen (as it is not). Fingerprint scanner is probably something they should add as an option to the iris scanner. By the way, the iris scanner works pretty good for me under all lighting conditions. Now, I did turn it off because it did feel like it chewed through the battery a little faster, but that could be due to me playing with it a lot when I first got the phone. I have mixed feelings on the camera button as I have accidentally launched the camera without wanting to but just picking up the phone. I think I would recommend putting the phone screen button on top instead of between the camera button and volume buttons. I feel like I am always hitting a button just trying to pick up the phone. Again, showstopper? Nope, but minor annoyance. So, am I happy with this phone? Yes, so far I am quite impressed. Therefore, my final words are if you are happy with your current platform, then stick with it...why would you be looking anyway. However, if you are not happy with your current platform, then this phone should be a serious contender....especially if you are a windows 10 user on your PC.

  • I've been living with android for a verry long time. Decidet to go for something new. so got this. well my previous phone was OnePlus one and now this. to be honest, I was surprised how easy it is to transfer all Contacts, pictures, music, calendar events etc from google account/phone to lumia 950. 3 min work. camera quality is amazing, seriously ive never seen any camera as good as this one. screen quality is at highest. windows hello works in darkness as good as in daylight.fast charging is working werry well, but always when phone is plugged in it heats up quite a lot.there are some down sides as well. for example if you connect your lumia to screen (quantinnum) and browse internet, afterwards to use internet you cannot type in browser ( software glich I had) as im using phone for about a week, i like to play with it, and now my battery with quite heavy usage drains in about 14-17h ( don't really know is it good or bad, lets say average) so do i regeret going from android to windows phone? well, no. im not saying it is better or worse, all phones have some glitches, some downsides, ITS JUST DIFFERENT

  • the camera is one of the best in mobile smartphone arena, speed much faster than Lumia 1020.

  • What about phone speed and what about its camera...

  • Guys iam just back from new York...the trip was great....just back and my Lumia 950 white arrived from amazon white color...I brought surface pro 4 from new York and totally lovin it... I saw the Lumia 950 in new York there also prices after taxes came to around 580$ soo that's around 39000 and no free display dock... soo in india 43k with free display dock is very good price... iam happy with my purchase of Lumia 950 white color and gonna install my mozo case red leather with gold rim...I got limited edition Lumia 950..

  • rate little high

  • Still not available in Indonesia, can't hardly wait for it

  • Today I have the phone. One word... It's a beast of a phone. Fluid with SD 808, 3 gigs RAM, 3000mah batt. There is scope for OS to be polished. I think it can only get better from now on!

  • I don't believe you at all, it sounds like trolling.

  • what is that the (variation)

  • Is Flash player available in lumina 950 ?

  • I just got to say that this is indeed a superb device.loving it alot.

  • Dude Lumia 950 is a great phone to use in all ways..i use it since two weeks and there is no problem I found....i used galaxy s5 neo..but it is a awesome..(Lumia 950)

  • Does it have a proper download manager in win 10 can you download large files 1gb?

  • I can't afford this, in my country it goes to $800, it's still cheaper than a brand new iPhone ($1200). But the phone seems to be great.

  • Lol lagdroid fan talking about overheating issues.

  • Dude use one then comment.. Pls..

  • Troller.. We got a troller.. Lagdroid fan..

  • You seem to be very confused. This phone has no problem with overheating display or any android app installations... It doesn't runt Android so you don't have to worry about Android-problems.

  • Overheating display... Android application installation crash.... dont buy anyoneeee.....see the demo

  • Dude your comment has the smell of fakeness all over...using this phone since a half week and being a heavy user I do not see any problems regarding battery or any touch problem. Either your device was faulty or you are a deep fandroid

  • Need Sincere Advice, I have shortlisted Lumia 950 ,IPhone 6s Plus & Note 5 Currently owing note 3 but Never had used iOS before. Well two before I used lumia 720 and found it smooth and clean OS, but apps collection was horrible at that time and most of them were in beta and outdated. If I go for 950 will it be a wise move or I stick with android.

  • It should be Gorilla Glass 4...

  • Most of all I didn't compare lumia 950 with K3 note. That guy wrote lumia 950 is not in his budget, that's why he upgraded with a K3 note. I just replayed to that person be happy with it. K3 note is the most budget friendly phone with such configurations and Lenovo is too a worldwide well-known reputed brand. Read all the comments carefully before say such strong words against somebody.

  • Most I didn't compare lumia pro with K3 note. That guy wrote lumia 950 is not in his budget, that's why he upgraded with K3 note. I just be happy with it. K3 note is the most budget friendly phone in such configurations and is too a worldwide well-known reputed brand. Read all the comments carefully before say such strong words against somebody.

  • well i have the 950 and battery lasts 1-2 days easy and use it quite often with mobile data and location enabled alot. £30 month contract with EE ... £420 alot cheaper thean the iPhone option. Very happy change from apple to microsoft tbh

  • Lenovo K3 note is an excellent budget friendly feature rich phone. Enjoy man that 5.5 monster!

  • yes it does supports OTG

  • I got a Lumia 950 after LG G2. It's a really betaphone, don't buy if you dont't like challages. Battery life is a half day for me and I'm not a heavy user. I can use my G2 for 2 days. Lags, crashes, freezes, and a crappy camera software. You can shot rapidly 7 (SEVEN!) shots and you can hang on Saving screen for about 20 seconds, after that you can shot around every 10 sec. Cheap quality my screen got a factory scratch at the top. So it will be a recommended buy with windows 10.1 and under $300.

  • Wow ! Lumia 950, such a nice phone but not affordable. Have upgraded my current lumia 530 to Android Lenovo K3 note. Goodbye Window 10, goodbye lumia.

  • nice and yeah...really non-affordable

  • Very good it's arelly smartphone and 3flesh is awesome

  • Microsoft selling priority.... budget lumia the in developed countries, whereas unaffordable flagship in developing poor countries. See, how their global market drop down to 1.8% in Oct -Nov.

  • yes it does

  • Does this phone supports OTG for usb?

  • That 20mp camera is the back camera dude.. Not front... 20mp Zeiss optics cam on rear and 5 mp frnd cam.

  • Wow! Great. 20MP front camera.

  • You are right. They look better on the 950 camera.

  • lumia 950 supports OTG

  • i'm really struggling to deal with some complaints about this phone being ugly yea at the first look it may look not what we expected with the background we had from awesome lumia 930. but any further look makes me more in love with it, especially after watching MOZO products. thaose red and withe leather cases drives me crazy! they're f***in beautiful!! lumia 950 will look wonderful with them. if you didnt see them, just google "MOZO case for lumia 950", and thank me later ;)

  • I thought I could beat you there but GiffGaff who also do unlocked phones is 449GBP so looking round Carphone is cheapest sim free.

  • Lumia 950 is only £419 sim free from Carphone Warehouse in UK! Really keen price

  • Love the Lumia 950 XL. Continuum is very cool. Wireless charging, Glance screen, removal battery, MicroSD, fast charge. It syncs with my Windows 10 PC. Almost everything I wanted in a phone. Other phones are always missing a few things in hardware.

  • please take a second look here: using the DSLR as reference, you can clearly see the colours are more vivid in the 950 and rather incorrect in the iPhone 6S+, especially the red ones and the Spongebob patch looks lively in the 950's shot

  • Biggest Drawback for OneDrive. You cannot link / signup with multiple outlook accounts simultaneously like we can do in google..that's the only reason im stuck with android..with google we can link / sign up with multiple accounts simultaneously in google drive..no more sign in and signouts...

  • Phone specification is great. Maybe a successor for Microsoft. But please take care of third party applications. In our experience in previous lumia's app store is very bad. Lot of favored applications are missing. I always like & support Microsoft/Nokia. I accept/appreciate the quality, secure & standard of you. But please provide all application which is most popular in the market. Wish you all the very best.

  • Guess the guy never connected his phone to the internet ;)

  • WoW! Nice specs phone. And so pretty!!! I might be buying it for Christmas 2018 when the price gets low enough. I'm willing to pay 200€ tops for 950 and 250€ for 950XL(unless my fortunes dramatically changes of course) In the meantime I have to settle with my soon to be 2 years old Lumia 520(okay model is what 3 years old,but I have it soon to be 2 years). It was great phone in the beginning,but now I'm sick of it,though it still good enough for most things especealy after recent upgrade of storidge capacity. I really like Metro user interface. If 950 is still available in 3 years time at as stated before at no more than 250€,there is good chance,I'll pick it up. In meantime I must upgrade to something better than Lumia 520,and no Lumia 550 is not an option because it already belongs in 2013. I may have to jump to Android in the meantime,which freaks me out because I have seen Sony and Samsung and I'd rather shoot myself. LG seems passable,but I don't know. How pretty or ugly phone is,it's at the bottom of my worries.

  • The 3 G talk time mentioned in the review section is incorrect, its correct talk mentioned in the specifications section is 18 hrs . Windows Phones are the best OS phones as its far far better than android and apple in terms of battery life and it doesnt hang or lag like android does . Its a phone with features that can actually be useful and not just a show piece like other phones in the same segment .

  • Forget the new Lumias 950 and 950 XL. Prices are astronomical. I've just got brand new Lumia 930 Black Gold for 420 EUR including all taxes, customs duties, etc. And Lumia 930 standard Black for 220 EUR, also BNIB. 600 EUR price for Lumia 950 is not justified. A couple of more cores, liquid cooling, blah blah blah,.. is it worth another 300 or so EUR? Nope. Finally, I love to see NOKIA letters on my phone than Microsoft, don't get me wrong, but this is how it goes. PS Oh yeah, got the genuine Gold White cover off eBay for some 30 EUR so I can exchange Black to White and vice-versa in no time whenever I please. Great isn't it?

  • Is this comment supposed to be a joke???

  • I have a note 5 but i will still be getting the 950 for programming. So your reason is invalid.

  • another troll. im an android user myself, but i dont see WP falling behind on apps. i'd get a windows (nokia/microsoft) phone myself if they weren't too expensive.

  • either you're a troll, or you dont know how to update your phone.

  • a great phone By MS... Pricing is much better compare to Iphones.. Plus Lumia 950/xl have SD card slots so compare to iPhones in these Lumia phones memory is not the problem.. Camera is great.. And with W10 mobile these new phones are good buy.. And those who think windows phone have less apps let me tell you that Windows phone store is evolving day by day and all usefull apps are avilaible.. Definately a good phone by Microsoft..

  • Rubbish......oh and btw we can buy whatever we want.............

  • I have w10 on my Lumia 925...its great.....950 will be my next phone/pc/laptop/ipod/ipad/tv.... thats for sure.....

  • Very true

  • i was shocked once i saw your comment, i read the answers and they answered right and complete, i just want to add two things my friend: 1. didn't you get denim update? so that's a support i think! isn't it? 2. maybe your OS doesn't need so much fixing updates like android updates!! ;) that's the point dude

  • the 1520's gonna get Windows 10 build 10586 soon compare it to Android flagships on its age that won't get Marshmallow

  • Download windows insider on your lumia 1520. opt in to the fast updates and the go to phone updates to check for new updates. The latest version of Windows 10, update 10586, is very stable, and running perfectly.

  • all i can say is you are totally wrong. even the almost 2 and half year old 520 got the denim and most probably will get win10 in feb or you can get it through insider program name any android that gets updates other than the nexus series :3 .

  • Go for the 950 my friend, htc is not the company it used to be.

  • Dude an using Lumia520 for last 3yrs.. Nowi updated with w10 preview build 10856..works fine ma 512mb ram device.. Install the preview build on ur 1520.. Then will receive all latest updates.. Also pls ..1520 is ma dream smartphone.. U don't know the full potential of that device. Install windows insider app for get w10 preview..

  • Your 1520 will get Windows 10 next month apparently. Microsoft even updates phones as the Lumia 920 from 2012 to Windows 10, so even 3 year old phones still got updated. If you're in the right zone you can expect an upgrade to Windows 10 in January.

  • The orange is actually the true color of that object in the picture. I rather have a picture with little less detail and true color than with much detail and different colors.

  • Please dont buy any phones from Microsoft..simply they release new models and not releasing any updates and providing support. I have Lumia 1520 which is now dead with no updates.

  • To me its great. But the thing is, its too costly.

  • I agree buddy. M too a poor lumia user.

  • Dear all, How is Microsoft Lumia 950...?? I decided to bu HTC M9. But today launched here Microsoft Lumia 950 now. I confused now for buy which one. So please update all of your comment about this Microsoft Lumia 950. Thanks

  • most of haters or people who talk negative about this awesome phone, are ones that never experienced soft, fast, simple, reliable, friendly, different and complete OS like windows phone as we see in WP 8.1. or never had a chance to own a lumia to find out what really means the word QUALITY! some are over obsessed with apple products that washed their brains with their advertise and branding culture on the other hand, there are sony and samsung users who used their high spec phones and always been in war with apple users to prove they're right with their choose, so they are automatically offensive against new serious threats from giant corporations like Microsoft! so please dont be strong with them, they dont even know what it (lumia 950) is that they are enemy with! soon they'll understand the truth my friends... ;)

  • Wats ur prblm?? This device got all the specs needed on a branded flagship phone.. If u r think its a waste ..explain pls..?? I think galaxy s6 is a waste bcos of the 16mp camera , no sd card support, 2550mah battery.. Also z5 premium os also waste..bcose of a whopping 59k!!! And wat about iPhones 6 and 6 plus??? Pls don't compare it with cheap lagdroids which will break in one drop from ur hand.. Also now many other manufactures r going to releases windows 10 phones.. Now i dare u to explain ur "waste"?.

  • Guys we got a troller here.. Lagdroid fan boy... Did u ever used a windows phone.. Use a windows 10 device then comment... Windows store has 600000 apps and counting... If u r mentioning about some third party fancy apps seen in play store.. Then u r still living in ur childhood.. Grow up man...

  • whats the use of such an hardware when the os is so........ i wont be harsh lets just say crappy. The store is full of shitty apps. #lumiausermyself

  • is different platform, just let the market decide, is good to see new operating system for smart phone.

  • It's a pure revulation in smartphone world and we're going through with it. Don't dance with haters and low brain fellows. This is just one, only one standing in its level of height right now, and rest is just behind of it. I love this one for its pocket friendly compact size. This is the finest phone today your money can buy. Just do it.

  • of course 950 is better, especially WindowsPhone is better for bussiness, good for game too, amzing camera, elegant look and UI ( i really like the windows phone UI ), no lag like android. but ceaper release price than the Iphone 6S and Galaxy S6 edge. i want to have it...

  • Thats right, don't compare a windowsphone with android. and to compare a Lumia 950 CarlZeis camera with android Camera? It's in a different level. 950 more better than MI4C

  • Geo 46 ...awesome reply! Thumbs up 👍

  • yeah, if you think the orange-ish red on the iPhone 6s is better than the vivid red on the 950

  • Does it really have a mic hole in the glass, under the screen?

  • Dude i think u don't have eyes... 950 is way better wen compared with mi4c.. Mi4c has only 5" 1080p LCD display.. 950 has 5.2" oled 1440p display Mi4c has no sd card slot only 16/32gb internal..950 has 32 Gb internal and a sd card which support upto 2tb(wen its available) On camera.. 13mp vs 20mp Zeiss optics cam 950s 20mp Zeiss optics can beat even the 23mp g lens of xperia z5..and 950 has pure view technology ,optical images stabilization,4k recording,triple led flash.. Frnt camera is 5mp for both but 950 has an iris scanner for windows hello.. 3000mah for 950 is better bcos the windows 10 won't consume battery like mi4c which has 3080mah In short u can never compare mi4c with 950.. Go n learn about windows phones then comment..

  • its too costly

  • Xiaomi Mi4c has nearly the same specs.

  • lumia 930 had a problem with its Microphone, when on speaker phone people didn't hear you anymore, mine was under garanty when I had this problem, after it went 3 times to be repaired without a result, I claimed to change the phone, they finally did change it for a brand new one, one month later the same problem appeared, did anybody try lumia 950 already? , is it sure it will not have the same problem?

  • I use Windows mobile. And Android. I had to buy lumia after my contract phone broke. Admittedly it is not the 950. Agreed Windows need the apps to make it fun to use. However I find beauty in simplicity and functionalism therefore I connect with the mobile Microsoft platform. If you don't have time for playing games and you're a businessman like me, want to download and attach files from and to email, and need a stable GPS on your phone to get you to your meetings, then you will appreciate the Windows experience on mobile. However i recommend trying it on a midrange phone like i did and decide if it's rocking or not. I think it rocks.

  • Some parts are better, some parts are worse.

  • For those that dont care about how much money they spend on their phone A.K.A. the rich i do belive this phone is worth giving a try. i used lumia 1520 and thought of it as one of the best buisness phones ever.

  • There are some negative comments from lagdroid users. We ned to ask them why they are coming on this awesome phone page. If they are happy with there lagdroid than they should be happy n why wasting their time.

  • one interesting thing to note is when you realize that most of those "beautiful" iPhones and Galaxies are still finding themselves into protective plastic or silicone cases anyway, so what's the point of bashing the design of the 950?

  • A true flagship.

  • No review from GSMArena yet...?

  • Well dont think so but ok.

  • Also dude it used the same polycarbonate plastic which is used to make motorcycle helmets... Get some fact then comment...

  • Name a ugly Chinese device which has Qualcomm snapdragon 808 hexa core 1.82 ghz dual core & 1.44 ghz quad core processor with 3gb LPDDR3 ..adreno 418 gpu n 32gb internal n supports 2tb (if available) replaceable 3000mah battery with Qi wireless charging n fast charging..and 5.1" 1440p (564ppi) oled display with gorilla glass 3 and huge 20mp Zeiss optics cam with pure view technology, triple led flash ..4k recording , optical images stabilization ..5mp frnt cam with iris scanner , liquid cooling technology etc .. Come on ..i challenge u ... Tell me device which has all this feature... Including continuum.. Tell me troller... Lagdroid fan..

  • compare lumia 950 and iphone 6s plus images using gsmarena photo comparing tool and see the difference.

  • You are a cell phone retailer... Ok. 3000 mAh baterry, 20 MP Camera with triple Led with pure view and HDR, 5.2 inch screen with 564 ppi pixel density, usb type 3.1 type c, microSD up to 200 GB, Snapdragon 808 (more than enough with probably power savings gains VS 810 in 950 XL). This are averages specs? Compared to what? Iphone 6s, which by the way has lower specs in all aspects except (and arguably the processor?) Really?

  • It has got the fastest chipset on the planet, one of the best cameras, best screen, removable battery, memory card up to 2Tb and 2k screen. Show me one other phone in the same league that has a lower price.

  • You seem to know very little about Windows Phone. Care to explain what feature is not available?

  • Like any other chinese ugly phone, plus this ugly keys on screen... And : Windows. Good OS for simple enthusiasts, not demanding, very well optimized, but not for advanced users (many features form Android are missing). Overall: nothing specially, just maybe better camera. Not worth a lot of money. We are tossing the planet with plastic garbage.

  • You clearly know sh*t if you have to end your statement with "im a cell phone retailer"

  • Patiently waiting for the midrange Lumia 850

  • High in price?? Then wat u think about iPhones n xperia z5 premium(59000INR)..

  • Dude dont u have eyes.. Read the review... It has LTE network connectivity... LTE means 4g... All the flagship Lumia's have 4g. 640xl LTE is 4g ..735 is 4g..

  • Yes you are right. Windows really dont need that much as android but its only means what i said. Its definitely not worth to buy because its really really expensive. As microsoft said Win 10 will be free for everyone good idea. But phone for over 500 eur with just with average stats. They can keep this phone. Because its not worth to buy. I know what i am talking about. I am a cell phone retailer.

  • Agreed and you also notice that when you play candy crush on the lumia phone the battery does not drain too quick like it does on the android phone.
