Checked Digi website, didn't see any offer for 950/XL.
Any specific page for the Digi 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

Had a Nokia N9 before with amoled screen, double tap worked perfectly.
