Microsoft just unveiled its latest flagship smartphone. The smaller of these is the Lumia 950, which is to be the successor to last year’s Lumii 930. This is a 5.2-inch equipped with powerful hardware components. The second is the Lumia 950 XL, which is about half an inch larger and has a slightly more powerful components. Let’s see how they appear to their components.
Case
The Nokia Lumia 950 has a slender metal case occurring in black and blue color variant . Unfortunately, nicely presented, on average, because the protruding camera lens. For this reason, the smartphone just feels thin, and really may not fit in your pocket. Housing Lumii 950 XL presents itself in the same way, is only slightly higher.
Display
The Lumia 950 is equipped with a 5.2-inch OLED screen with a resolution of 2560 × 1440 pixels. In turn Lumia 950 XL is the same display differing only having diagonal length of 5.7 “. By using the OLED screen image will be very nice, and the phone will be characterized by good visibility in sunlight.
The allegations I have only to display which is very detailed. By this time the action at the battery will be shorter than it should. As we have resolution FullHD provides virtually perfect picture when used here diagonals, the use of more detailed displays makes sense when using smartphones in virtual reality applications. Microsoft so far not announced any tool to transform your smartphone into a substitute Oculus Rift, so so good screen in this case does more harm than good.
processor
Agreement used in Lumii 950 Qualcomm Snapdragon 808, equipped with a total of six cores. Two of them are fast Cortex-A57, while four are energy-efficient Cortex-A53. For comparison, the Lumia 930 have quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon processor 800. It may seem that the use of Qualcomm Snapdragon 808 model is more reasonable than the use of Lumii 950 XL ośmiordzeniowego Snapdragon 810, which has four cores each type. For this reason, this system has problems with overheating.
It turns out that Qualcomm Snapdragon 810 housing HTC One M9 heats up so much that HTC has decided to issue a special software update. It solved the problem in a truly astonishing way. Namely, it turns off the strongest cores, making it almost all the time acting only energy-efficient cores. More efficient part of the work only in test applications.
It was the perfect solution for HTC. On the one hand it can boast that their devices are used in the absolute best components and it is true. On the other hand, their equipment is already overheating. And that the equipment uses only slightly more than half of its potential and is therefore more expensive than it should? About the HTC forgets. With the bigger problem facing the Sony Xperia Z 3 +, which does not survive until the appropriate update. Therefore, on a sunny day can be itself off.
On the other hand, it comes with a newer revision of this processor smartphone OnePlus Two no problem with overheating. In addition, more and more manufacturers reaches for the fastest Snapdragon. This may mean that Qualcommowi managed to solve the problem of overheating, and the Lumia 950 XL will operate stably. This is possible because new Lumie supposedly have a liquid cooling system.
In the case Lumii 950 will not be this problem. Even after a long association with LG G4 know that the system works steadily, but the phone does not overheat even under adverse conditions, and its efficiency and so remains large enough that 99% of users will not notice the use of the weaker components. In addition, mobile system Microsoft is not too demanding and even weaker Snapdragon find here 100% satisfactory.
Memory
So far, the most efficient appliances with Windows Phone have 2 GB of RAM. On the occasion of the release of Windows 10 and new smartphones, Microsoft has decided to increase that number to 3 GB. That much RAM can be found in both smartphones Microsoft. Such a large quantity allow smooth operation, not only as a smartphone, but also computer-mode Continuum. This is expected because the market is present many tablets running Windows 10, which are equipped with less memory and you still can not complain about their liquidity operations.
Both Lumie have 32 GB of built-in memory. That’s enough, but it can easily be expanded by microSD memory cards with a maximum capacity of 2 TB. This is something new, because Microsoft has not yet added a slot for a memory card with their flagship devices. It was the domain of equipment with a much lower priced. Now the company from Redmond decided to change policy much better. Probably this is due to the presence of Continuum mode and that many people will use Lumii as a computer, which must have built large data space.
Camera
The manufacturer is not praised However, two key parameters, namely light lens and the physical size of the matrix. Without this information by any assessment of the camera would only be telling fortunes from coffee grounds. I hope the camera will not find the same 20-millionth sensor, which Lumiach 930 and 1520. Since the launch of the mobile devices world of photography went hard to the front.
Communications Standards
Both new Lumie have a standard set of ports and sockets. Used here only output minijack and USB-C, which replaced the hitherto used microUSB port. The phone supports cards nanosim. A little hurt no function DualSIM, that would enable the two numbers simultaneously. Smartphone can not be criticized for absolutely nothing when it comes to wireless communications standards supported. Used here include the latest WiFi standard ac, Bluetooth 4.1, GPS, GLONASS, and NFC.
On the other hand, built-in sensors that pedometer, accelerometer, gyroscope, barometer, magnetic sensor, proximity sensor and ambient light sensor. Perhaps surprising lack of a fingerprint reader. Instead, Microsoft has used the iris scanner, which allows easy logon using Windows Hello. Nevertheless, I believe that the lack of a fingerprint reader as a disadvantage. The scanner iris may not work well in poor lighting conditions, which will not work when phone payment for night taxi or a drink in a darkened bar.
It is worth to note that to take advantage of the functions Continuum will need additional station Microsoft Display Dock docking. When connected to the smartphone becomes a computer. It is equipped with image input HDMI and Display Port, as well as three full-sized USB ports for connecting accessories.
Battery
The Lumia 950 has a built-in battery with a capacity of 3000 mAh, while the Lumia 950 XL 3300 mAh. These are very good value for models with successively 5,2- and 5,7-inch screens. Looking at this parameter and reasonable technical specifications can be concluded that the device will feature a long battery life. It is a pity that Microsoft has not applied less detailed display. In this way could further improve this parameter.
Prices
Microsoft Lumia 950 and XL 950 are cheap as flagship. Their prices are 549 and 649 dollars. This should translate into cost level in 2300 and 2800 zł. There is a small cost, but it certainly can be considered the price to be fair and reasonable. Remember that at this price we get not only a smartphone, but also a desktop computer.
Summary
The Lumia 950 and Lumia 950 XL have a very good specs that outperform other devices with Windows Phone and rival flagship Android models. As these are almost the best outfits with Windows Phone, it should be expected that a Microsoft system will work on them without any problems. Applied fast components should also allow for comfortable operation mode Continuum, allowing both Lumie will be able to function as a desktop computer running Windows 10.
