Microsoft’s Lumia 950 is its first real attempt at competing with Android and iPhones in a long time. The 950 has updated specs and a couple unique tricks up its sleeve, but is that enough?

Fuck Android Love The Puttdowns!
This should be a review not a reglance or a repeep.
Unsubscribed fuck you iverge
I am a windows fanboy and I did not expect that many dislikes. Not the hateful comments.
Daium.
I’m guessing youre a Snapple fan?
F*CK you iVerge 4K dislikes review is bias.…
I’m stunned how ignorant people can be in all this ms-fanboy-fever. Windows Phone users are waiting for apps for ages, what should make me think what this is gonna change this time? The phone is out, and there is no software. Not only for this Continum thing, there is almost no good software on this phone at all. Should i mention how long w10m was in insider stage? And still no apps! Just because developers don’t give a s**t about w10m, and especially continum. And just because of this this phone is nothing “revolutionary” at all, it will live and die in short time because no one will really use it this way.
Coudnt watch it till the end.. Sorry
do not get this phone ive owned it. it fucking sux, i just turned it in for a v10. for the love of god dont get this phe
whos give shit about windows.
stupid review, you must learn from windows central channel to review.
Reviewer should come to my village here in Africa he might at least gifted in something on our farms. l will give him 3 beautiful African wives
BRADLEY COOPER IS THIS YOU
This reminds me of when people said the original surface was a “Tablet that wanted to be a laptop” There was a lot of criticism but the surface line has matured into a very good product. I think this will be really big
lol Windows phone fanboys
I do agree that the app gap is killing the Lumia Line. One thing I REALLY disagree the reviewer on is the camera. The camera is very fast mainly because I can press the camera key and the camera app launches, then half a second later I take a picture. To say that the camera is slow on this phone is saying you haven’t tried it.
Another thing this review didn’t mention is that continuum can be used with a less expensive wireless adapter, or other HDMI to USB‑C adapters sold by other manufactures. Also, that the mouse and keyboard can be Bluetooth, so the use of multiple USB ports aren’t necessary.
Lastly, the reviewer didn’t mention how fast it takes for it to charge. Other reviewers say it can take an hour and a half for a full charge from completely dead. That is probably true, but when you have a 10–15 minutes and need a charge you can get 20–30 percent easy from that amount of time charging. This is mostly from the wall charger, but the USB cable isn’t bad either. You can also imagine the very fast speeds with file transferring as well.
One thing that the reviewer didn’t mention which are actually the basket of bugs of this phone. I am a fan of Windows phone, but I know their flaws. I am not a developer, so I don’t know the annoyances about making apps for it, but I am aware of them.
I miss the journalistic objectivity here.
They say Continuum can’t use any apps, but they love the chromebooks. Wtf?
“20 MP is slow on this phone, but if it’s an android phone it’ll be more better”
This thing is full of negative review, why would even give a review if that’s all you gotta say?
Well, at least your iPhone uses a Continuum-like experience, has a 20MP f/1.9 aperture and optical image stabilization. (Yeah, like the 6S) The 6S also has a huge battery, with its 1710mAh… Ahem. I really like glance on my Quad-HD 6S screen.
You see how much shit this is? Just like your review, stay objective. This is just based on your opinion, a reviewer shouldn’t lead a review by expressing his opinion. I also like Snapchat, it helps me waste my time even more…
Weak review
Well of course you can’t download PC stuff on a phone! Did you think you would be able to play your Steam games on it?
you do not nokia and I like microsoft phone 🙂 I love microsoft
review it now. windows mobile 10 is getting amazing. there is no trace of that insider preview mess that we all experienced. now everything is smooth.
and with too many users on pc,laptops,xbox,mobile and holo lens, every developer wants to make app for this huge number of customers.
You really are an idiot. You don’t even know how to make a good and fair review. Why don’t you talk about iPhone the same way? They have the worst hardware specs including their screen, ram, processor, etc. I agree that Windows phones software isn’t as good as the Android or IOS but they still have a good hardware specs and design even without aluminum design. Blackberry Priv has a plastic design but still have a good design. I don’t care if you don’t like Microsoft or Windows but you still have to be honest
Ugh worst review ever! Apple fanboy.….
I myself am an iPhone user. I love the Lumia and I think I will change my iPhone with a Lumia. I am not asking for a review in which the phone I like is praised. But this review is not what I was looking for. Everyone has their opinions and like I said I do not want the Lumia to be praised; but this review is bias. You did not review the phone well and the review of the camera was a few seconds long. This is the worst review of a phone that I have happened to see in my life.
Screw this short-sighted, biased bullshit. I’m unsubscribing, and I don’t even like Windows phone.
The Verge SUCKS! Extremely ridiculous review.
WIndows is written in Objective‑C, while Android is in Java. So 3GB RAM in Windows doesn’t mean the same in Android = because of Java has Garbage Collection which require more RAM.
This is not a review. This is an opinion.
$600 for a phone????!!!???? I rather get a new laptop. Or build a pc.
what kind of drugs did you take that are making the 950 camera seem slow? i need some of those… i bet you could beat up neo and 10 agents while watching gayporn on your iphone.
I am going to get the Lumia 950 to get rid of my Apple iShit 6.
phones are computers..
this review sucks! Microsoft innovate again!
is this the newest one
they go to tablet computers to computer phones i know that made no since
you didn’t had to buy the phone
Just buy an iPhone
“The camera is fine but slow…” oh come on, is one of the best phone camera ever!!
Windows 8.5 yay

So is this a good device?
Watching this is 2023, Microsoft Nokia was way ahead technically speaking. Just imagine Microsoft being the biggest software company they could have pulled it off. Patience and Persistence doesn’t seem to be in the dictionary or Microsoft.
