Lumia 950 looks promising alright.

Will definitely switch from my 2 year old Lumia 925, when the price is right.

Just wondering, does the continuum available for all devices with WP 10 or just mid-top range phone because in my opinion, the hardware plays an important part in this feature aside from software.

Actually, its not because of the high bandwidth of USB Type C since you can use the Continuum feature through Miracast.

It limited only on the Lumia 950 and Lumia 950 XL because both of them are using the Snapdragon 808 and 810 which actually support dual display mode. You can see it at the Snapdragon website (notice on the word "concurrent" that they use):

Snapdragon 810 :
QUOTE
4K Ultra HD on-device display concurrent with 4K Ultra HD output to HDTV

1080p and 4K external displays
Snapdragon 808 :
QUOTE
Display  :
2560x1600 on-device display concurrent with 4K Ultra HD output to HDTV

1080p and 4K external displays supported
For comparison, here's how the Snapdragon 800 specs are stated :

yeah Assassin's have a good point, but didnt we saw Joe Belfiore demoed a live continuum experience on a Lumia 1520 sometime this year ?

i think it is possible to do so on a Lumia 1520/930 but they may not introduce now after all if this works who buys the new 950/950XL ?

Here's the full demo video :


The phone (Lumia 920) is just a dummy phone, as in it's not actually running the Continuum features a (probably just displaying screenshot), hell it's not even running Windows 10 Mobile.

At 22:30, if you notice on the icon on the status bar on that phone, you can see that those are the WP8 icons. In W10M, the "No sim card" icon has no white fill, just border and the plug on the charging icon are on the side, not center. In addition, the Continuum blue bar is all wrong. The blue background is supposed to also include the status bar, as seen in this video which shows a demo of an actual prototype running the Continuum feature (Skip to 6:30)

Also, in the official Microsoft's video of Continuum feature, you can see the phone have both on-screen and physical navigation bar (again, probably just showing a screenshot).

Yeah that's the thing, they intro with an old hardware, even many page still writes Continuum is available to phones running on Windows 10 Mobile, based on those article it was all written this year April after the demo, now sadly which is not true but lets hope they allow us to have semi continuum feature tongue.gif

Comparing the older processor and the new SD808/SD810, how much in percentage of those processors compare to older version of processor does it vary?

IMO, processor plays a great role in Continuum as Continuum enable user to display on monitor and also at phone at different interface and also instance. Except there is option to like share the interface of phone and also at the monitor (meaning using the phone..but on monitor).

I'm not tech savvy. Just saying. biggrin.gif

I suppose they can make it like mirroring your phone interface to start menu, then black out the phone only keep call function intact. so it wont be that heavy to process both screen doing individual stuff... hence the semi continuum tongue.gif

as a former lumia fan.. just want to say a few things la about the 950.. one is, i like that finally, they put on screen navigation key on a flagship phone.. two, wtf is with the back speaker? one that besides the camera at that! the 920 had the speaker at the bottom, then the 930 at the lower back, now the 950 at the upper back. smh with their design team. one would hope by now microsoft would put a front speaker at their phones. maybe they're scared people will say they copy other oem but at least dont go backwards to yesteryear's' speaker placement la.

I suppose they can make it like mirroring your phone interface to start menu, then black out the phone only keep call function intact. so it wont be that heavy to process both screen doing individual stuff... hence the semi continuum tongue.gif

yea..if continuum have that option, mid-range phone can run continuum smoothly (i guess)..

Camera of the upcoming Lumia 950 will be superb. The daylight performance will rival DSLR, better than most if not all smartphones. No joke. Check out this thread.

http://blogs.windows.com/devices/2015/10/1...d-lumia-950-xl/

But for low-light performance, it is still limited due to the smallish sensor. Still, not too bad. The sensor is slightly larger than the sensor in the latest Samsung and iPHone models, and the Sony Z5 also.

Open the image above and view in 100% resolution. Look at the tiny details. Remarkable detail on the face and the eyebrows etc. apart from the superb clarity and sharpness.

The Lumia 950, like all other Windows phones will run apps found on the Microsoft app store. You cannot install android apps (i.e. apk files), but if the Android app has a Windows version, then no problem.

Windows Central says (and they're confident about it) that we're not to expect any other high-end MS windows phone after the L950/XL for a year. If there is a Surface Phone, I'd think this would fall in the high-end/flagship category. If true, can wait that long? tongue.gif

If either phone is more than RM2100 I don't think it's worth it. Rather save the money to help fund a Surface Pro/Book.

I've found a website comparing the Microsoft Lumia 950 to the iPhone 6s and Samsung Galaxy Note 5. Surprisingly the photos from the iPhone 6s looked better than the Lumia 950. Not sure if the reviewer deliberately rigged the results by producing poor quality photos with the Lumia 950. Any comments? I was expecting the Lumia 950 to show considerably better results than the iPhone 6s, tangible and marked improvements over the iPhone 6s. But the photos below do not show that.

To be frank, the 2nd and 3rd sample photo (car park shot and dancing shot) looked terrible. The Nokia Pureview 808 will be able to produce better results than these any time.

Any thoughts if it is more to the camera or the photographer? I suspect it's more to the latter.

seems like not a bad deal for me...but I'm surprise the dock is RM300 instead of RM4xx since its $99 and with Malaysia currency, would be RM4xx.

actually, i find the price kind of high... Microsoft should come with lower price tag to secure the market and user so people will find it acceptable and more willing to spend on it.

due to the lack of apps and slow updates makes people doesn't wanna have a windows phone.

btw..surface pro 4 RM4k? specs? entry-level surface pro?

well..waiting for the project astoria or other sort of ways to import/install apps from other OS. from there, it would Microsoft would be able to pick up from there. with Windows OS fluid and with Android's/iOS's store, would certainly attract more people.

just hope next year the surface phone with the ability to install .exe programs is real. that would be a game changing phone. but i guess the price would be similar to iphone by that time.

4k is entry level but still usable to a certain extend

Microsoft Surface Pro 3 i5 12" 128GB + Bundle with Arc Touch Mouse also cost 4k now (yes its 1 year old but still good)

the phone is definitely overpriced

Looking on the brighter side of things, if the 950XL is RM3k, then the logical conclusion is that the L950 should be cheaper than RM3k? Maybe still can consider. Hehe

well..it should be in-range of ~RM2.5k? no? not sure. biggrin.gif

some people argue that 950 doesn't have liquid cooling...not sure about it.

and from GSMarena comments and reviews, seems like the battery life for 950 is bad for now, not sure is because of software or hardware.

To me they look out of focus, not like they are horrible pics, just focus point is wrong. Sadly the camera app still probably put focus at the wrong place if subject is moving or way too many points that the focusing algorithm doesn't know what to do. Usually to take such pics I always lock focus without letting the camera select focus for me.

Guys, Blackberry already went the route of allowing Android apps installed on their phone & it never helped their marketshare or make their phones desirable. What makes u guys really think able to install Android apps will suddenly make Windows 10 Mobile a premium OS? With the disconnect of the 2 OS in terms of UI & no support of Google services, it will NEVER work out the way u guys hope. In fact anyone installing android APK directly will surely run into more issues & complain even more.

As for Surface phone, I doubt it can install .exe programs but then who knows. But then again, are u ready to PAY for such a phone? It should cost almost a Surface Pro lowest specs.

Well...with the apps available, it would be time for marketing strategy to promote the phone..

for the surface phone, yea. i get the idea of the price would be similar or more expensive than iPhone. that will have to see next year when Microsoft introduce it.

for now the perception of people towards windows phone is normally "got apps ar?"..

when they finally secure the market place... its time for them to advertise to attract people..

unlike Apple, the just have to announce and people will be queue-ing for hours to get the phone..

have to salute Apple or their marketing during iPhone 4 that time..

Oh haha! So that's what u mean. Unfortunately it's chicken & egg problem. How do u secure market share without enough apps? How do u get devs to make apps when you don't have market share? brows.gif

64GB MicroSD is around RM120-150 so honestly, i would prefer to get a free dock and might (or might not) sell it off...
another reason why i'm not really into free SD card is, i already have one, so i'm just going to transfer from my current phone...

128GB? hmm.gif
with good writing speed?

i 100% agree with you...free dock and microsd...dont have to be 64GB, even 32GB would be good...

It's okay if they don't revive Astoria because Islandwood is still up and running, and apparently the functionality is better when porting over from iOS apps. I don't think there are any major apps which are on Android but not on iOS, so as long as Islandwood exists, the potential is still there.

Yes Islandwood is up & running. It's in way better shape & ported apps seems to be working well. Look at Candy Crush games for good eg. Astoria is way more problematic.

The only time I hear Android is easier to develop is when u creating super simple apps & games which we already have so many also in Windows Store.

Expect more than RM3.5k & don't expect miracles in terms of feature ya. I do expect Surface pen support though not sure how useful with just less than 6" of screen size. It has to make sense, not just throw in a feature like that.

hmm..maybe the pen support helps designer to draw? continuum and the phone acts like those Wacom tablet..? just imagiation tongue.gif

feel like now its trend for phone manufacturer to introduce 1 feature at a time..so can keep for next development..haha

I've been waiting for this flagship since the first time we all heard about its rumours last year. I can't wait, eagerly want to replace my 3yo L920 with the new L950xl. But now when I heard the pricing for this new phone, I think I'll have to pass. Sorry, for that kind of pricetag, I better off buy an iPhone or maybe any Android flagship.

to be honest, with 3K you can only get 16GB iphone 6s, for 16GB iphone 6s plus, that would be 3699...
and the 3K pricing is similar to Samsung note 5...
if MS market share is higher and more apps support, i doubt you would be saying that is a high price tag...
Lumia 950 has comparable specs with good camera, the main area it is loosing is in software / apps support and a rather "buggy" windows 10 mobile...

dont get me wrong, i would like to prefer a lower pricing, but seeing how our currency exchange rate now, IMO is a "OK" price, only that price wont be attracting many new adopters...

kind of agree with you.. i've wanted to change long time ago .

with the 950 price, kind of need to rethink lots of times...yes..the RM3k most probably comes with dock. but then..still pricey for me. Maybe can wait few more months, maybe price will drop (hopefully). tongue.gif

Is this the same as the launch party advertised on Microsoft Lumia Malaysia's FB page (which they're having the contest for)? If it is, then I don't quite see what the point of the contest is blink.gif

The other one is an event by Windows Developer Malaysia in conjunction with the main launch event. The one on the FB page is the official Microsoft launch event. They are different events.

I think they can't showcase Xiaomi stuff also, 1st of all not really under Microsoft, then what's announced is really just for China for now.

I hope they show at least a demo model of the Book. Still deciding to get it or the Pro 4.

According to Panos Panay, the Surface phone or Panos Phone) won't be revealed until late 2016/early 2017. Delay because they are waiting for Intel to finish development of their x86 capable phone processor. So its going to be a long time to wait.

I will attempt to pre-order 3 to 5 units combined of 950/950XL from an authorized Microsoft reseller as early bird.

No up front $$ needed. You just drop by the shop and mention your name and mobile contact. You are dealing directly with the shop which depend on the offer.

Nah. I don't drive a car, go on holiday, and have a kinda cheap apartment with my girlfriend. We use all our money on Tech tongue.gif.

Thing is, Microsoft might not release Surface Book here at all, because of price and lack of interest from here. If they do decide to sell, it'll probably be released around the end of January/February. If I decide to get the Book or Pro 4, I'm getting it from US and not from here, because the price here is horrible.

Oh, well, if you can afford it. biggrin.gif

Yea, with our currency now, felt like crying when I convert directly the price of 950/XL from USD to MYR.

I'm getting the XL, no doubt. The question is if I get it here or I get it on my trip in the US in January. See if I can get an invite to the launch event on 15th December. Apparently if you buy at the launch event, you get the free display dock and some goodies.

Well I don't wanna take that chance & also, I don't really need that dock. I can just do it wirelessly also. Works also but with lower refresh rate of 30Hz.

Personally I feel it's better they provide option without dock with lower price. The current price is just way too high.

To me they look out of focus, not like they are horrible pics, just focus point is wrong. Sadly the camera app still probably put focus at the wrong place if subject is moving or way too many points that the focusing algorithm doesn't know what to do. Usually to take such pics I always lock focus without letting the camera select focus for me.

I surely hope so as I am shortlisting the Lumia 950 XL to replace my Nokia Pureview 808. However, after looking at most image samples from owners of the 950 on DPReview site, it looks like the quality of the camera in the 950 is not up to mark. Certainly a step down from the 808.

I would personally say that Lumia 950 camera only can surpass Lumia 1020, not Pureview 808. But that's really good enough already. Too bad the price is...... doh.gif

I asked some of my friends who work at a few Microsoft stores here, and they all don't know if its possible to open sales to the public on the 15th or 16th, because they haven't received the stock from the main warehouses or something. Well, I asked a few days ago, so they might have received them by now. But they mostly say that its most likely going public in Malaysia in 20th-25th December. I say its most likely going to be around the 18th or 19th because Lazada ships on the 18th.

I think same price. If I remember correctly when I asked about 950 from KLCC they said 2699 too.

Base on my experience, usually the price are all the same but the difference will be on what freebies these retailers can offer.

What are the allowances involved for that? Sounds a bit like a rip off. shocking.gif Could probably still do cheaper with a separate data plan and just buying the phone on an instalment plan with the shop/banks (interest-free, of course).

If I remember the offer, the data plan is 10GB a month, and you get free voice calls within the company or something. As with all telco plans, it's just a matter of does it suit your needs, if not it's usually cheaper to buy it without the plan.

Thanks.

My review more or less agreed with what reviews from GSM Arena except below whereby I will update along my daily usage :


Pro
- USB Type C fast charging really FAST.
- Qi Wireless Charging works on my Asus brand
- 1080p MKV playback improved
- 4K video recording
- Decent camera
- FM was there




Con
-Double tap to unlock not there due to hardware limitation (AMOLED Display)
-Iris Beta unlock was cool but having security loophole.
-Sounds quality not in par with Andriod but still Ok, can bought a better earphone like Sony or BOSE tongue.gif


Stay tune...more to come. I don't have the Dock yet and the Miracast not really working with my 65" HDTV mad.gif blink.gif cry.gif

Yes, there's an option to display glance with color...
and i do miss double tap to wake, got so used to it, that i double tap my XL almost every time...

not entirely use which feature you are asking, but yes there an "infrared" and iris recognition sensor on the top of the phone...
as SteadyPana mentioned that the windows hello is still in beta, if your phone contain sensitive info (like messages / photos that you dont want others to see rolleyes.gif ) please refrain from using iris recognition...currently there are plenty of loopholes to bypass it...

i'm waiting for my tempered glass to arrive and see if the tempered glass will affect the iris recognition...

camera is good as long you tweak the settings...it can take shots pretty quick, but focus can be bit tricky in low light condition, ie steady hands...wonder why MS didnt include laser focus which i'm sure with focusing objects...

what else...can play flac and mkv natively, audio quality is step up from 1520 but if you have hi-reso DAP, then you might be a little disappointed...

hey cortana work very fast now...you dont need to say hey cortana then wait for the phone to "wake up"...
can direct say "hey cortana [whatever you want Cortana to do]"

Account can be in the name of company or business individual. I asked what the latter means, though the answer was kinda blurred. I don't think you can just turn up at DG Centre in a nice Armani suit to qualify. Probably still need a company behind you.

My First Impression with the Lumia 950 XL Black

I got mine at the launch party for RM2999 and got a free Microsoft Display Dock (worth RM309) and Nokia Coloud Headphones Knock (worth RM129).

BUILD
The phone looks amazing in person. I always preferred matte poly-carbonate bodies compared to metal and the black looks really sleek especially with the metal silver ring around the camera piece. It is incredibly easy to hold and easy to put in the pocket, since it is smaller than the 640XL, which is smaller than the iPhone 6s Plus, despite them all having 5.7 inch screens. So far, no issues handling it. It is definitely less likely to slip out of my hands like my iPhone 6s and Nokia Lumia 1020. The button layout on the side is weird at first, because the power button is in between the volume rockers but after a while I got used to it and found it easy to find the power button since the power button is actually slightly shallower than the volume rockers. Kudos to Microsoft for doing a good job there.

However, I realized that after a few days, after taking the back cover off 7-8 times, the back cover doesn't sit firmly at the bottom of the phone anymore. It is very slight and easy to miss, but if you take a close look, the back cover doesn't stay flushed at the bottom of the phone. This is fine for me, because I'll be getting the Mozo leather covers to replace this, but I think this will be an issue for people expecting top and lasting build quality for a RM3000 phone who aren't getting additional back covers.

DISPLAY
Oh my goodness, this is the best screen I have ever seen, period. The 5.7 Quad HD screen is simply amazing. The colours look fantastic, and font is wonderful to look at. Every time I have my Whatsapp open, I just marvel at how clear and crisp the words look. This is thanks to the incredible 518 PPI using Samsung's screen mixed with Nokia's own Clear Black display. This blows the iPhone 6s and many other Lumias away. I changed my colour setting to Vivid, because the default colour setting seems a bit washed out. Vivid makes the colours warmer looking and makes the Start screen especially pop. Glance works really well, like with most other Lumias, so no worries to fans of Glance.

My one drawback for this screen is the lack of double-tap to wake feature. It was one of my favourite inclusions in Windows Phone 8.1, and I'm sad to see it not make an appearance here. I sometimes forget this and try to double-tap the screen to wake it up and then feel a little sad inside. I'm hoping that Microsoft find a way to patch this back in, because I don't think the screen type is the issue, unless it is impossible because this phone is using Samsung's own screen tech.

PERFORMANCE
Zippy, quick, and smooth. I love how fast this phone is, coming from a Lumia 1020. It is slightly slower compared to the iPhone 6s in terms of opening apps, but that can be attributed to the fact that the software isn't optimized yet, so this can potentially go quicker. No problems with the performance specs. The liquid cooling is brilliant. I was playing Asphalt 8 for several hours and the phone only became a little warm. Nowhere near as hot as my iPhone 6s or Samsung Note 5. The only times the phone got really hot was when I was using Continuum for longer than an hour with Word, Excel, Powerpoint, Xbox, Edge and Perfect Tube open.

BATTERY
I cannot say much about the battery except that it is very unstable right now. I could game for 7-8 hours in one go to finish the battery, but then sometimes the battery goes from 100 to 45 on idle in 4 hours. This is definitely not a problem with the phone but with Windows 10 mobile and from what I heard, the newest update fixes the battery problems. I've heard that 950XL with the new update can go for a day and a half with normal usage, but I can't seem to get the update myself to see if its true. So for this one, hope for the best and that this issue is fixed for us fast. Besides that, the phone charges quickly on the wall charger but very slowly using a USB connected to a PC. It takes 1 and a half hours to go from 0 to 100 on the wall charger and 5 hours on the USB to PC. The good thing about the USB to PC, however is that you can transfer data very quickly because it is a USB 3.0 cable. Got my entire library of music (25GB) transferred in less that 5 minutes. This will vary depending on your PC, so give or take for yourself.

SOFTWARE
Windows 10 Mobile is nowhere near ready for release. Insiders would know this, and so do people owning the 950 and 950XL. Apps crash randomly, there are graphical bugs here and there and sometimes the touchscreen stops working for a few seconds. It isn't so bad on the 950XL, but I've had a random restart and a few app crashes in the past three days. Again, its getting better with every update and from what I heard, the newest updates fixes most of these problems.

Microsoft Edge, the new browser is very fast. Faster than Chrome on Samsung Note 5, so that's a big plus for internet surfers. Cortana is as usual very good, but still not available to Malaysia. You still need to set your region and language to US or UK for Cortana to appear. Hopefully, Microsoft thinks of Malaysia to add into Cortana's available regions list.

I thought the App gaps was still a big problem, but every day for the past couple of weeks, big names have been adding more universal apps. I believe that as time progresses, the Universal App idea is going to save the Windows 10 Mobile Store and that the App Gap won't be such a big issue in the near future.

CONTINUUM
I was excited for this, and I was wonderfully surprised by how well it works, though it does have some problems. With the Display Dock, there is almost no lag. In fact, I never noticed the lag at all. It is also really useful. I could use my full sized PC keyboard to type in Whatsapp and Messenger, for example. If you don't have a mouse or keyboard, the phone becomes a touchpad and gives you the phone's keyboard (which is amazing by the way). I'm going to go on a business trip where I will have to present something to some people and I know its going to be really easy using Continuum and Powerpoint to present. Besides that, I've been using it to watch Youtube in my grandparent's house, who don't have a computer and only a TV.

Now, the downsides. Firstly, Continuum starts slowing down once you open more and more apps. After 3 or 4 apps, it takes a while to open or switch between apps. Also, the phone starts heating up like crazy. This should be expected because at the end of the day, this is still a phone with a Snapdragon and not an Intel chip. Phones have never been able to open 3-4 desktop-styled apps at the same time, so what Continuum can do now is really insane. The problem with this is that Microsoft advertised that the phone works like a PC , which increases people's expectations of Continuum. So keep your expectations low and only open a couple of apps at a time. That way, Continuum is great. Don't expect full PC multi-tasking until the "Surface phone" is proven real. As of now, Continuum beats Miracast hands down.

MISCELLANEOUS
Windows Hello, or Iris scanning is cool, so long as you're not wearing glasses. It feels futuristic and you look freaking cool using it. But on a practical note, you need to hold the phone at a very weird angle and distance from your face for it to work properly. I've had very little problems for it finding me, because I keep doing the "Improve recognition" thing in as many different lighting scenarios. Oh, the iris scanning works in complete darkness, which was really cool to find out when I woke up early in the morning. I don't wear glasses, so I have no idea how well it works with people who do wear glasses or contact lenses. Also, one thing to note is that you cannot save multiple people. I have me and my fiance saved on my iPhone's fingerprint scanner, so its a bummer when I couldn't do the same for Windows Hello. Also, it takes a while for Windows Hello to scan your iris in certain lighting. Its faster than typing your PIN in very bright lighting and pitch black darkness, but if the lighting is very uneven, it longer than 2-3 seconds, which is usually longer than the amount of time taken to type in a 4 digit PIN.

The Camera is amazing, especially when you use manual settings. Still shots are wonderful, especially macroshots where you take a close up of something. The camera gets blurry in very active shots using auto settings, or if you're trying to take a picture on a very bumpy car ride, but otherwise colours are accurate and details are... very detailed... You can take rapid shots by spamming the camera button very quickly, so its almost as fast as the iPhone 6s. However, images take forever to process when you go to preview them. It takes like 5-15 seconds for an image to be completely ready, and while the end result is much better looking than whatever I can do on the iPhone, it still takes a while to get ready. Living images is available here, which is a cool feature to have. Your images, when previewed in the Photos app, show a 2 second animation that leads to the actual image. Really cool.

Speakers are a bit disappointing. It is nowhere near as loud as my old 1020 and the sound isn't that great. However, it isn't a big issue for me since I always use headphones and music sounds brilliant through headphones on this phone. In fact, music sounds better than my iPhone and my fiance's Note 5, thanks to the virtual surround feature available in the 950XL.

OVERALL
I believe this is a great phone. I will definitely be using this for a long while. Most of the issues are due to the unfinished Windows 10 Mobile, but I believe that once W10M is released to the public, most of these issues would have been ironed out. I don't believe this is the phone for the people coming from Android and iOS, since the number of Apps aren't quite as great as on the other platforms, but again, this will be resolved as time progresses. Continuum is a useful feature for the working class and even university students with lots of presentations and work on Word. Camera is great, especially if you know how to use it to its fullest capabilities with manual settings. All in all, I would recommend, if not for the very high price for a phone running beta software. I'm happy, though, so that's that.


I'll post another review after a month or so. If you guys and girls have any questions, please ask me or send me a PM. I'll gladly answer.

PERFORMANCE
Zippy, quick, and smooth. I love how fast this phone is, coming from a Lumia 1020. It is slightly slower compared to the iPhone 6s in terms of opening apps, but that can be attributed to the fact that the software isn't optimized yet, so this can potentially go quicker. No problems with the performance specs. The liquid cooling is brilliant. I was playing Asphalt 8 for several hours and the phone only became a little warm. Nowhere near as hot as my iPhone 6s or Samsung Note 5. The only times the phone got really hot was when I was using Continuum for longer than an hour with Word, Excel, Powerpoint, Xbox, Edge and Perfect Tube open.

Now this is really music to my ears. Last Lumia I used was Lumia 930. Good god, really not comfortable when holding it. Not playing the game but still can get that hot. This will change, also flagship with dual sim, I'm sold.
Thanks for the review.

The phone is hot when you use the dock and activate continuum because the battery is being charged as well. And there's always heat when batteries are being charged.

My First Impression with the Lumia 950 XL Black

I got mine at the launch party for RM2999 and got a free Microsoft Display Dock (worth RM309) and Nokia Coloud Headphones Knock (worth RM129).

BUILD
The phone looks amazing in person. I always preferred matte poly-carbonate bodies compared to metal and the black looks really sleek especially with the metal silver ring around the camera piece. It is incredibly easy to hold and easy to put in the pocket, since it is smaller than the 640XL, which is smaller than the iPhone 6s Plus, despite them all having 5.7 inch screens. So far, no issues handling it. It is definitely less likely to slip out of my hands like my iPhone 6s and Nokia Lumia 1020. The button layout on the side is weird at first, because the power button is in between the volume rockers but after a while I got used to it and found it easy to find the power button since the power button is actually slightly shallower than the volume rockers. Kudos to Microsoft for doing a good job there.

However, I realized that after a few days, after taking the back cover off 7-8 times, the back cover doesn't sit firmly at the bottom of the phone anymore. It is very slight and easy to miss, but if you take a close look, the back cover doesn't stay flushed at the bottom of the phone. This is fine for me, because I'll be getting the Mozo leather covers to replace this, but I think this will be an issue for people expecting top and lasting build quality for a RM3000 phone who aren't getting additional back covers.

DISPLAY
Oh my goodness, this is the best screen I have ever seen, period. The 5.7 Quad HD screen is simply amazing. The colours look fantastic, and font is wonderful to look at. Every time I have my Whatsapp open, I just marvel at how clear and crisp the words look. This is thanks to the incredible 518 PPI using Samsung's screen mixed with Nokia's own Clear Black display. This blows the iPhone 6s and many other Lumias away. I changed my colour setting to Vivid, because the default colour setting seems a bit washed out. Vivid makes the colours warmer looking and makes the Start screen especially pop. Glance works really well, like with most other Lumias, so no worries to fans of Glance.

My one drawback for this screen is the lack of double-tap to wake feature. It was one of my favourite inclusions in Windows Phone 8.1,  and I'm sad to see it not make an appearance here. I sometimes forget this and try to double-tap the screen to wake it up and then feel a little sad inside. I'm hoping that Microsoft find a way to patch this back in, because I don't think the screen type is the issue, unless it is impossible because this phone is using Samsung's own screen tech.

PERFORMANCE
Zippy, quick, and smooth. I love how fast this phone is, coming from a Lumia 1020. It is slightly slower compared to the iPhone 6s in terms of opening apps, but that can be attributed to the fact that the software isn't optimized yet, so this can potentially go quicker. No problems with the performance specs. The liquid cooling is brilliant. I was playing Asphalt 8 for several hours and the phone only became a little warm. Nowhere near as hot as my iPhone 6s or Samsung Note 5. The only times the phone got really hot was when I was using Continuum for longer than an hour with Word, Excel, Powerpoint, Xbox, Edge and Perfect Tube open.

BATTERY
I cannot say much about the battery except that it is very unstable right now. I could game for 7-8 hours in one go to finish the battery, but then sometimes the battery goes from 100 to 45 on idle in 4 hours. This is definitely not a problem with the phone but with Windows 10 mobile and from what I heard, the newest update fixes the battery problems. I've heard that 950XL with the new update can go for a day and a half with normal usage, but I can't seem to get the update myself to see if its true. So for this one, hope for the best and that this issue is fixed for us fast. Besides that, the phone charges quickly on the wall charger but very slowly using a USB connected to a PC. It takes 1 and a half hours to go from 0 to 100 on the wall charger and 5 hours on the USB to PC. The good thing about the USB to PC, however is that you can transfer data very quickly because it is a USB 3.0 cable. Got my entire library of music (25GB) transferred in less that 5 minutes. This will vary depending on your PC, so give or take for yourself.

SOFTWARE
Windows 10 Mobile is nowhere near ready for release. Insiders would know this, and so do people owning the 950 and 950XL. Apps crash randomly, there are graphical bugs here and there and sometimes the touchscreen stops working for a few seconds. It isn't so bad on the 950XL, but I've had a random restart and a few app crashes in the past three days. Again, its getting better with every update and from what I heard, the newest updates fixes most of these problems.

Microsoft Edge, the new browser is very fast. Faster than Chrome on Samsung Note 5, so that's a big plus for internet surfers. Cortana is as usual very good, but still not available to Malaysia. You still need to set your region and language to US or UK for Cortana to appear. Hopefully, Microsoft thinks of Malaysia to add into Cortana's available regions list.

I thought the App gaps was still a big problem, but every day for the past couple of weeks, big names have been adding more universal apps. I believe that as time progresses, the Universal App idea is going to save the Windows 10 Mobile Store and that the App Gap won't be such a big issue in the near future.

CONTINUUM
I was excited for this, and I was wonderfully surprised by how well it works, though it does have some problems. With the Display Dock, there is almost no lag. In fact, I never noticed the lag at all. It is also really useful. I could use my full sized PC keyboard to type in Whatsapp and Messenger, for example. If you don't have a mouse or keyboard, the phone becomes a touchpad and gives you the phone's keyboard (which is amazing by the way). I'm going to go on a business trip where I will have to present something to some people and I know its going to be really easy using Continuum and Powerpoint to present. Besides that, I've been using it to watch Youtube in my grandparent's house, who don't have a computer and only a TV.

Now, the downsides. Firstly, Continuum starts slowing down once you open more and more apps. After 3 or 4 apps, it takes a while to open or switch between apps. Also, the phone starts heating up like crazy. This should be expected because at the end of the day, this is still a phone with a Snapdragon and not an Intel chip. Phones have never been able to open 3-4 desktop-styled apps at the same time, so what Continuum can do now is really insane. The problem with this is that Microsoft advertised that the phone works like a PC , which increases people's expectations of Continuum. So keep your expectations low and only open a couple of apps at a time. That way, Continuum is great. Don't expect full PC multi-tasking until the "Surface phone" is proven real. As of now, Continuum beats Miracast hands down.

MISCELLANEOUS
Windows Hello, or Iris scanning is cool, so long as you're not wearing glasses. It feels futuristic and you look freaking cool using it. But on a practical note, you need to hold the phone at a very weird angle and distance from your face for it to work properly. I've had very little problems for it finding me, because I keep doing the "Improve recognition" thing in as many different lighting scenarios. Oh, the iris scanning works in complete darkness, which was really cool to find out when I woke up early in the morning. I don't wear glasses, so I have no idea how well it works with people who do wear glasses or contact lenses. Also, one thing to note is that you cannot save multiple people. I have me and my fiance saved on my iPhone's fingerprint scanner, so its a bummer when I couldn't do the same for Windows Hello. Also, it takes a while for Windows Hello to scan your iris in certain lighting. Its faster than typing your PIN in very bright lighting and pitch black darkness, but if the lighting is very uneven, it longer than 2-3 seconds, which is usually longer than the amount of time taken to type in a 4 digit PIN.

The Camera is amazing, especially when you use manual settings. Still shots are wonderful, especially macroshots where you take a close up of something. The camera gets blurry in very active shots using auto settings, or if you're trying to take a picture on a very bumpy car ride, but otherwise colours are accurate and details are... very detailed... You can take rapid shots by spamming the camera button very quickly, so its almost as fast as the iPhone 6s. However, images take forever to process when you go to preview them. It takes like 5-15 seconds for an image to be completely ready, and while the end result is much better looking than whatever I can do on the iPhone, it still takes a while to get ready. Living images is available here, which is a cool feature to have. Your images, when previewed in the Photos app, show a 2 second animation that leads to the actual image. Really cool.

Speakers are a bit disappointing. It is nowhere near as loud as my old 1020 and the sound isn't that great. However, it isn't a big issue for me since I always use headphones and music sounds brilliant through headphones on this phone. In fact, music sounds better than my iPhone and my fiance's Note 5,  thanks to the virtual surround feature available in the 950XL.

OVERALL
I believe this is a great phone. I will definitely be using this for a long while. Most of the issues are due to the unfinished Windows 10 Mobile, but I believe that once W10M is released to the public, most of these issues would have been ironed out. I don't believe this is the phone for the people coming from Android and iOS, since the number of Apps aren't quite as great as on the other platforms, but again, this will be resolved as time progresses. Continuum is a useful feature for the working class and even university students with lots of presentations and work on Word. Camera is great, especially if you know how to use it to its fullest capabilities with manual settings. All in all, I would recommend, if not for the very high price for a phone running beta software. I'm happy, though, so that's that.
I'll post another review after a month or so. If you guys and girls have any questions, please ask me or send me a PM. I'll gladly answer.

Good review! Thanks.

Really wanted a 950XL when Microsoft announce it. But too bad, with the price and Malaysia's currency, I coudn't afford it. Hope I can afford the 'Surface phone' next year or next 2 years! Hopefully the 'Surface phone' is well expected.

sabar sabar...honestly if they didnt do the necessary research and just buy the gadget just to jump into the bandwagon then sorry but i have to say "serve them right"...
well like evilpuppy said, let them sell it out, and give others a chance to get the phone at a cheaper price

evilpuppy when is your unit arriving?

maybe i didnt notice this before, but the "live photo" seems to be smarter...let say you took a still photo with no moving object, the still photo wont have that "live photo" effect...

edit: if anyone have extra mozo back cover that they would like to sell, do PM me...might want to get one if the price is right...
dont think will order online, the waiting is insanely long...and the price is just rclxub.gif
else i wait for mozo plastic back cover which should cheaper

Media programs from commercial companies like MS won't play AC3 or DTS that easily because they need to pay for the licensing.

As for the rich capture images I noticed that sometimes it fails to process and I can see temp files stuck in the picture folder and yet I can set the brightness anymore. Wondering if that has anything to do with the sd card I stuck in, but I'll save images back to device and see how well it works.

On a side note, I bought a generic USB-C to USB AF cable from All IT just now and it didn't work. I wonder if it's the cable or there's still more to this stupid USB-C spec that I don't know about, kinda like how messed up USB OTG was in the beginning.

Something to add in, there is still some bugs in the phone, for example, the notification center: when a new message comes in (e.g. wechat), it show notification in the notification bar, if u open the app DIRECTLY to read the msg, the notification icon is still remained at the notification bar until u clear it. I am not sure if anyone else notices this or not.

As for the screen display, it is gorgeous IF u view in indoor, but not under the sunlight. I find the visibility of the screen under the sunlight is not that clear.

The IRIS scanner does not work all the time, nor it works fast everytime. Most of the time, i would rather just swipe to unlock the screen.

As for the people who complain lack of app....I dont think this is a problem of the phone itself.. it is the problem of the developers who never want to make the app available in the Windows store.

yes i noticed that...not only that, lets say you are in whatsapp and a new whatsapp message comes in, it will still be in notification centre even if you had view the message

did you set higher brightness?

as for the iris, mine is working quite fast unless you try to unlock your phone while you are moving, then it will take time trying to scan your eye...

true, but not many companies are willing to invest in a platform with limited market share and users

As others havr mentioned make sure brightness is set to auto because that will allow it to boost pass the static maximum brightness, also make sure you didn't disable sunlight readability under Extras->Color Profile that'll allow the screen to change the color to a more viewable pallete under sunlight.

As for the iris scanner. Try to use improve recognition under different lighting conditions, and staring at the red light seems to give the reader a sense of consistency when trying to read your eyes.

*Edit* wait.. why stare at the red light when you should stare at the front camera? Duh... just do that when setting it up and also when trying to unlock. Also remember.. it wants BOTH eyes to be in view.

You have a good point.. I guess that's for the next version, can't use facial recognition unless they have a 3D cam like the Surface Pro 4, 2D cam too easily cheated by pictures. tongue.gif

Hmm.. one of the main problems I'm seeing is my "All Settings" app stop being responsive to taps though I think it only happens after I use Miracast to extend the screen.

By the way, if you want to use Miracast for Continuum or screen mirroring purposes, highly recommend the Microsoft Wireless Display Adapter. Best Miracast experiience I've had aside from the Xbox1, stable, responsive, low lag.

What is the brightness level that u all set? I set mine at 40% with auto brightness and sunlight readability on, the visibility under the sunlight is still bad.. I will set the brightness level to 100% and test later, but isn't that higher level of brightness drains the battery faster..

time for some good news, bad news.

good news, the usb c. to usb port cable i bought from all it actually works!

Attached Image

so, if you only need a usb port on your phone and dont have the dock, you can get this relatively cheaper cable at RM39

Bad news, it means that previously when it didnt work, it was just failing silently, remember that if the cable is working, you'll. hear the familiar hardware inserted sound whenyou plug something in. if it doesn't... try restarting your phone.

A bit too late now since the tracking number has been issued. Unless I reject the package when it is delivered.

Trying to nail down when it happens. But my irresponsive settings screen might have something to do with me using a weird Miracast receiver, also seems to flip my rotation lock status.

Did you reserve/pre-order yours beforehand? I tried calling DD yesterday afternoon and they said all the units for 950/950XL got sold out over the weekend. New stock expected to come in sometime this week, but no commitment cry.gif

Guys, need help, I preordered mine on Lazada at 10/12/2015 14:04:48, but since then, not a single update. Even the confirmation email I didn't get. Usually when we buy at lazada, will get confirmation email right? Not this one. This is my order details:

user posted image

As you can see, it said the ETA was 18th December, but I've yet to receive any updated from them. Not even a tracking number. I've contacted Microsoft Malaysia and they gave this useless reply:

user posted image

I also contacted Microsoft Lumia Malaysia, which they straight ignore me. So I called Lazada yesterday, it said to check on me and get back to me later, and just today they called me and said that they contacted the "merchant" as in MS, and they confirmed it that it's going to be deliver starting 15th of January!! I was like WTF??? Why? If knew this will happened, I wouldn't pre-ordered it in the first place. Better off getting it in store. Do you guys have any idea what this is happening? sad.gif

I'm a loyal fan of Microsoft and this how they treated me? I've had Lumia 800 and now using Lumia 930 since it launched. I've always bought the latest flagship Lumia, yet this is what I get? Not cool Microsoft, not cool.

Things to note:
- I noticed they changed the product title to (ETA: 15th January) last week.
- I'm using Maybank 0% installment on Lazada and successfully checked out.
- Until now the order status still "processing"
- They say they are going to email if I ever get to be the first 100 that will receive the dock, yet not a single email either from lazada or microsoft (if i ever get it)

p/s: I envy u guys have the phone in hand already.. I'm crying over here.. cry.gif

Well, the thing is that ever since Surface Pro pre order I could see that all the merchant partners could never deliver on pre orders on time properly. And then on top of that, I haven't really heard good things about the Lazada process either. Which is why I choose the COD route when pre ordering so I know I can cancel it without much problems on my side tongue.gif

My order was placed on 9th, and I only got my tracking notification just now, but like others have mentioned, just because there's a number doesn't even mean it'll instantly be delivered the other day.

I think all the other Lazada Pre Orders haven't received their phone yet, most of us who have it went through another source. Like DirectX.

Hope you get your phone soon, then we can start talking and complaining about the actual phone instead! wink.gif

The thing is I don't mind if I get it late. It's just the false advertising and information that set me off. If they said they're going to deliver by that time, they should! At the very least, update the customer of the current situation, whether it's delayed, or misinformed or whatnot.

From what I observe, this is just false advertising. I expect it to get early, so I thought since they can deliver early, just online would be easier. It turns out they changed the date later on. What actually happened? At best I can guess (if it's not blatant false advertising) is that they intend to deliver it by the earlier date (18th), but they "over-sold" it during launch and now they're out of stock. If that's the case, it's equally bad as false advertising and they should be ashamed of it.

Some of you might be wondering if the display dock can be powered via a USB battery pack, wonder no more!!

Short answer is.. yes and no. tongue.gif Because while the dock needs a power supply to work, seems like it refuses to take power from it when it doesn't detect it's charger.

Long answer...

My wife's Lumia 950 has been having issues with WhatsApp. She gets notified of incoming message on WhatsApp but when she opens the app, she can see all the various message threads but when she opens the new message specifically, she gets a blank white screen.

I have uninstalled and reinstalled and soft reset the phone to no avail. My next option would be a hard reset, I suppose.

I have reverted to her old Lumia 930 for now as WhatsApp is an important messaging tool for her.

Any ideas to solve this? Please help.

Heard there's a whatsapp bug where a bad message can crash the app, and the only thing you can do is to delete the conversation with the bad message because ita synched from the cloud you can't just uninstall the app.

When navigating, I personally just use Waze (the app exists on windows store) with Here Drive or "Maps" as backup. I used to be a heavy Here Drive user until I learned about waze. The only reason that I use waze instead of Here is just because of the traffic; because IMO, Here Drive is more reliable and has better user experience, plus can have offline maps.

FYI, I was just called by Lazada Courier about delivery which I promptly told them the order should be canceled.

Good luck to others who have numbers in wait. My courier was Taq Q Bin.

So you can cancelled it even if it's ready to be delivered? Please tell me more about this. It seems like you're COD, since usually COD is TaQBin. How can I do this for non-COD?

Yeah, like I mentioned before, I did COD order just in case of screw ups.. You could have tried cancelling earliier I before they sent it for delivery, since you used CC payment it's much more tedious on both parties to cancel.

Yeah actually yesterday, when they called me, I did asked for cancellation/refund, but the call person said that they can't do it at current stage, they have to wait for the product to reach them(lazada), only then they can initiate refund. I don't know what's the process and logic behind this, but this looks like it might take a while to cancel. sad.gif

I partially migrate from Android, not using it full time yet, but from my past experience using 1520, u might feel the loading for store is slow, lack of certain freedom u get from android, downloading can be slow and cumbersome (or maybe just me). But overall experience is positive.

Feels the same, basically you need to get a feel for the ideal unlock distance. Then you can just turn it on and it just works very fast.

Havent watched the video yet, but there's been quite a number of OS and app updates if this was using their US retail unit. Hmmm review published today so could be after some of the patches, guess have to watch later and see if what problems they're mentioning.

True, it's over priced and it's a fan boy gadget. cool2.gif

I should have expected that with just a USB-C to USB 2.0 port cable, the phone wouldn't be able to power a hard disk, but seems like even the display dock is not able to do it.

With the cable it's also having some random problems with my USB 3.0 Kingston Card Reader, could be because as a USB 3.0 device it wants to draw more current but the phone can't give it. You can constantly hear the device connect/disconnect sound when it runs out of power.. ie.. just like what happens when your notebook USB port can't power something properly.

But when it works.. GREAT way to preview GoPro 4K footage on the go!

I think I managed to solve the issue. My current storage setting is that all pics and videos are stored in the Micro SD card. When I change it back to store in the phone, WhatsApp works again! I believe WhatsApp only works when stored on the phone itself. It can only be installed on the phone memory only. Hence I believe any attachments (pics and videos) have to be stored on the phone memory itself. rclxms.gif

I hope this is it. Hope this helps those with similar issue. thumbup.gif

You made it sound like you set Apps to be stored in the SD card as well. So did you just store the pics or app in the Micro SD card? Hmm.. since my current photo and video setting is also the same I should ask ppl to send me pics and see....

Oh wait.. it's christmas people have already been sending images left and right.. so yeah have been receiving it properly. So.. did you set your App to SD card as well?

I'm keeping my apps in the phone memory.

Here's a tip about manipulating photos.

If you crop with Lumia Creative Studio, you retain the living image video stream of the cropped region as well. I'm also pretty sure that cropping with Lumia Creative Studio is using the more efficient 'pic rezoom' method. *probably*

whatsapps and wechat must install on main memory not sdcard and if your photo camera rolls are save to storage card, whatsapps wechat downloaded media photo will eventually also save on storage instead.

For those that interested in dg plan:
Corporate acc must be registered with company name.
New acc minimum starts from RM100 and therefore must take SP148 and above.
Monthly installment is roughly (plan/2)*24, eg SP148=1512+24*74=3288, either plan gonna cost 300 more.
You get no dock but get to enjoy SP148

So you were saying, device price become RM1512, monthly payment is RM74 for Digi plan SP148?

Its still RM 148. I was trying to explain how digi determine upfront payment. As far as their concerned, digi is making 10% on top MSRP.

But if you are currently using SP78 or higher, you can consider yourself paying 74 for device installment, 74 as your SP78 while "enjoying" service of SP148.

That being said, if you are SP50 user, you are losing big time.

Got my 950 XL last Saturday with the Display Dock from DirectD.

True, I admit that there are some quirks when using the phone because of the still beta OS. But nothing so major that it disturbs me.

Continuum is the reason I wanted this phone. And it really showed when I was in a presentation this week.

Laptop provided by organizer was not working. So since I had the display dock in my bag, plugged in everything, and for a short time my phone was used for the presentation before a spare laptop was brought in. Needless to say everybody was impressed by the Continuum feature.

I'm going to look for portable keyboards (and if there's such a thing, a portable monitor) to complete my 'Continuum set'.

I'm going to look for portable keyboards (and if there's such a thing, a portable monitor) to complete my 'Continuum set'.

Portable display? How about what I use in here?


Note it's a Pico projector and doesn't work well in lit rooms.

Its still RM 148. I was trying to explain how digi determine upfront payment. As far as their concerned, digi is making 10% on top MSRP.

But if you are currently using SP78 or higher, you can consider yourself paying 74 for device installment, 74 as your SP78 while "enjoying" service of SP148.

That being said, if you are SP50 user, you are losing big time.

Understood, thanks for the explanation.

You made it sound like you set Apps to be stored in the SD card as well. So did you just store the pics or app in the Micro SD card? Hmm.. since my current photo and video setting is also the same I should ask ppl to send me pics and see....

Oh wait.. it's christmas people have already been sending images left and right.. so yeah have been receiving it properly. So.. did you set your App to SD card as well?

I'm keeping my apps in the phone memory.

I set all apps, pictures, music and videos to be saved onto my 64GB Micro SD card. Hence, WhatsApp had issues with that setting. Now I have set them back to phone memory with the exception of Music. So far, it works well.

That's like total reverse of my settings tongue.gif

Have you gotten the firmware update already? One of the fixes was better SD card compatibility, maybe it's better now? I noticed with the new firmware my Rich capture post processing doesnt seem to be failing when I save to sd card.

I tak boleh tahan and bought a white 950XL from Microsoft Reseller at Digital Mall yesterday. Now I am happy. rclxms.gif drool.gif

This sucks. The supposed advantage of preorder is you get the device early, some preordered products are shipped even earlier than the off-the-shelf release.. That's how it's supposed to work. Not like this.

For future reference, note that Microsoft's partners has never been able to do a ON LAUNCH DAY delivery pre order, since the Surface Pro 1 I'll always check the forums and all I'll ever see is.. "I pre ordered online, has anyone got it yet?"

my lazada set is fulfilled by Thunder Match.

I have same experience with SP4, call them everyday, scold them, replied every email sent by CS saying 'not satisfied' and ask for compensation since i already paid, charged interest by the bank. They gave me RM30 voucher. at least i got something in return. received SP4 1 week late.

same tactic this time around for 950xl, but since i got on 19th (1 day late - have to pickup from Gdex) i didn't ask for compensation.

Wow, sooo, there are some people that get the phone early.. Did you get the free dock?

If there are some people that get the phone early, means that it went out of stock! Why the hell would u still promise to deliver early if you're out of the freaking stock already. cry.gif I hate false promises..

This is not fair altot we got free dock.. Just pray hard our pre-order item really come with free dock.. Worry they say free dock is for limited unit as stated there..

please bare in mind that 1st launch products usually are limited. best option is to join the launching and get all the freebies on the spot just like marauderz did.
never go buy from 3rd parties (online) ex. lazada even they mention limited 50 unit preorder with freebies (who know they have 50unit??) sweat.gif sweat.gif

now we all have to do is wait till mid of jan or end or jan 2016. cry.gif

Even can refund money also need to give out some compensation.. They are lying to customer..
Just refund is just cannot satisfy my anger..We lose the offer to get the FOC as we tot can pre-order online and less the hassle to go buy at shop..

I solved the SD storage issue. I reformatted by SD card from NTFS to exFAT. That solved everything. Now, all apps, downloads, pictures, music and videos are stored on the card.  rclxm9.gif  rclxms.gif

Yeah.. please use exFAT for mobile devices.

So I have been trying out various hard disks, card readers, USB sticks, etc. to see what works and what doesn't.

Most thumb drives work.

Most hard drives don't work, failing without notification but the hard drive sounds liike it's not receiving enough power.

Then I plugged in a SanDisk Extreme 500 SSD
https://www.sandisk.com/home/ssd/extreme-500-ssd

And instead of it working, or it not having a response, it popped up a mesasge saying the device wasn't supported!

Feeliing weird since.. to me it's just another USB storage I didn't think too much about it, until I got my hands on a SeaGate Backup Plus Portable Drive today, and it gave me the same message instead of failing silently.

I plugged it into my PC and found out why these 2 things were different than my other USB storage devices.

Most thumb drives are of USB Mass Storage Class devices
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USB_mass_storage_device_class

They're simple and they work..

But the SanDisk and the Seagate... they show up as SCSI devices.. and I finally found out why, they are of a different type of device.. a USB Attached SCSI device
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USB_Attached_SCSI

Which seems like it iisn't supported by Windows 10 ARM yet I guess, even though Wikipedia mentions that Windows 8 already had built in support for USB Attached SCSI

For performance and other reasons, we now have a different level of USB storage device.. something we probably should know as we start using these thing on more than just our computers.

Hmmm sad to say, looks you can't any USB-C to HDMI cable and use it, I picked up this one and the only thing it succeeded to do was crash my 950XL every time I plugged it in!

Yes, this is working, but because this is a USB 3.0 port, USB 3 devices might run on full speed power hungry mode, so... be careful! wink.gif Most likely the USB device will just shut down due to insufficient power.

I tested dropping my Lumia 950XL on a Samsung wireless charging plate. While it works, I can't confirm whether it's able to fast charge from it. Still contemplating wheter I should get one for use in my office.

Would like to check. Is the camera on Auto when you took these photos? Also, I noticed the size of the playground photo is 2.98 MB but the other photo showing the birds standing on the electrical lines is only 1.03 MB. Are the photos 100% full resolution, unedited?

I guess the HDR mode reduced the size of the photo although it made the photo looked brighter with better clarity in low light conditions.

The image of the playground shot looks slightly blurry as if it is slightly out of focus with smearing of details on the green leaves. In the other photo, clarity is good but there is some noise.

Looks like the forum did still do something to the pictures, here are the originals.
http://1drv.ms/1mYeTTI

Regarding the HDR.... it's not something you can turn on... you leave Rich Capture on, and if it decides the scene can be HDR'ed it will do it. Yeah.. it's weird..
- Bird picture is NOT HDR. Whch was surprising to me, I thought the camera would pick up on the backlight and decide to turn it on.
- Park picture is HDR, which is why you see bluring, since the camera takes multiple pictures at different exposures (-1,0,1 ev by default) so fast moving things like leaves would blur since I'm choosinig one of the mid blend levels.

Thanks for the link. Much appreciated. The photos certainly look much better here being originals, full resolution.

One question. Does the 950 have Manual settings for users to adjust the shutter speed and ISO?

The photo showing the birds is much better. Good clarity and detail. Noise is acceptable in this moderate low light shot. Though I notice some edge distortion (look at the corner double-storey house on the left side of the photo). The house is slightly skewed. This edge distortion is also present with the Nokia Pureview 808.

The photo showing the park is also better with more defined details but the photo still shows slight blurriness. Maybe the handphone shook a little when the image was captured, producing a *slightly* out of focus photo. Just a guess. The details on the tree trunk look a bit soft and out of focus, not too sharp.

The colours are certainly rich and vivid. A strength of the better Nokia phones such as N8 and Pureview 808 (now Microsoft Lumia 950).

In summary, I feel the camera in the 950 is good. Perhaps more good samples would do the phone more justice. Maybe not at the Nokia Pureview 808 level in areas of clarity and detail but nonetheless, it is very close. I would reserve comments until I see more good samples from the phone.

Cheers.

I just re-read your post. And also checked the photos. In the park photo, the shutter speed is 1/185s and ISO50. Maybe that was the reason the young boy and leaves show a bit of blurring with this shutter speed. But still, the details of the tree trunk (a dead non-moving object) looked soft and slightly out of focus, which suggests that there might be some other elements at play here, such as my guess on the camera which shook a little when the image was taken, producing the blurriness.

It would be great if the 950 allows users to adjust the shutter speed. It would be interesting if you can use a slower shutter speed of say 1/15s or 1/8s to take photos in low light conditions for better clarity and sharpness (though this would require a stable pair of hands).

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?

Seriously I had no idea
Anyway I had been buying so many imported phones - such issues never bother me at all !! All had been working well on local bands ( imclusing LTE)
As I see it, Only significant difference will be warranty - need to go back to seller only
