This changes everything. Now need to decided whether to break the bank for this month  rclxub.gif Haha

But what does it mean when the 11street listing states it as an "(Import)"? Will this be any different from the units by the MS authorised resellers?

Import most likely means its AP set considering 11 street is sourced from other countries.

I already have the dock as I bought a 950 as well. Personally, I think the dock is pretty useless as not all apps work on it. So I decided that I don't need two! And the one I have is packed back into its box!

Yeah, the apps need to be upgraded to UWP version for it to work fullscreen on the desktop. I'm surprised that Crossy Road is a UWP app and supports it! tongue.gif

Also, if you use Remote Desktop, the Remote Desktop Preview now supports it

Team Viewer also supports it.

which apps which you want to use on the big screen?

Hmmm.. so my USB-C to HDMI cable I iordered from DX.com arrived just now, bad news. It exhibited the same problem as the other 3rd party cable Ii got from All IT the other day, which means the moment you plug it in.. the phone resets, so until any new details pops up I'm gonna advise against getting a 3rd party USB-C to HDMI cable other than the offiicial diisplay dock.

I will get the dock later just to test it out

Try it out and see whether you really need the video out or not first. The only other reason is to use high powered usb devices, but as I mentioned, that support seems very fickle, so you might only need a cable to gt yourself a usb port and not need the dock

even both with the same settings "standard color" i can see a big differences ...
950XL lot warmer, while 1520 bright white.
well, after all both has different type of display AMOLED vs IPS LCD, now its only matters of get use to it.  whistling.gif

Under indoor liighting right? Since if it's outdoors, I think sunliight readability is on by default and that changes the colors abit

Let's have some CNY camera samples. As per usual actual from camera file are here :- http://1drv.ms/1KJJwkA

When viewing, take note that I made NO EFFORT to take a nice shoot, it was pretty much take phone out of pocket and shoot. So before you complain about pictures having lousy composition or lighting.. yeah.. I know. tongue.gif

what about the Dual SIM model..... does it give above problem
*
I think Malaysia only got Dual SIM model.

Mine is generally stable, with Windows Hello turned on I can tell when it randomly reboots, and it does like once every few days.

What I do notice is that when it's going to random reboot is when I'm watching something on YouTube, and the video display goes weird... then it'll reboot within the hour.

The other reboot error is of course as I mentioned... whenever I try to stick in 3rd party USB-C to HDMI cables in it. tongue.gif

yeah, in some aspects i'm really happy, such as the camera (with manual settings, the auto can be a little crappy some time, but most of the time the auto settings is good enough)

i even uninstall candy crush from my phone, currently no games in my phone.
other than some bugs here and there, overall W10M is ok, but certainly need some polishing.
i only hope by then, the developers will take the effort to update their apps, else no matter how good MS polish and update W10M, the apps might still remain buggy.

When you say auto, you mean Rich capture right? The 'wand' on the right side of the command bar is on A setting right? Rich capture tries to blend multiple shots together to give you adjustable flash and hdr features. That usually gives good results, but...

If your shot has a lot of fast moving objects, it can mess up. So turn it off if you're in that situation. Or just slide the slider bar when adjusting the lightning to far left or far right to get the unblended pic

For the non insiders, the main bug that was fixed was the damn Word Flow entry not working in Edge browser... what the hell took them so long!??!
