"It has all the other great features of a later Nokia/Microsoft handset - clean, fast and uncluttered Windows Phone interface; great camera & picture quality; excellent, hardy physical design with dedicated camera button and good audio quality; and I was optimistic about the possibilities the Continuum/Display Dock feature would provide after the bugs were ironed out"

"EDIT: In response to a comment on this review, recommending "a good couple of days" of use before calling the battery poor and referencing the "norm with other Windows Phones" I'd like to re-iterate that this was my third Windows Phone, and add that I posted the review/returned the product after a full seven days of use, progressively reducing the demands I made on it with every day after the three-day mark and gaining no increase in battery performance - no matter what I did"

"Camera - The BEST smartphone camera that your money can buy today (I am considering Nokia 808, Lumia 1020, Lumia 1520, Lumia 930, Galaxy S7 and the (in)famous Xperia Z5)"

" Its feels amazing and brings out the premium look of the phone"

"1) The phone is great in overall performance"

"If u r a lumia fan, this is perfect phone for u till date"

"If u r coming from android, I m sure u'll love this phone as it has now basically all apps that we need for day to day use"

" Plus its more secure than android phones"

"Superb Camera and specs are just not comparable with any other mobile, solid build"

"If you are Windows Fan it's best ever phone i have seen,But Looking to the Reliance JIO Launch In India, It is not Supporting VoLTE on JIO Network , you won't be able to Make Phone Calls"

"The QHD screen is impressive and the phone excels in low light photography"

" The phones performance is consistent without any throttling and the call quality is excellent with its 4 directional microphones"

" The best phone at this price, seems like my wait was worth it"

"Always been a windows fan and after using 950 for just few days will say Windows is the future just amazing phone great OS and no match to its camera"

"For docking, I think waiting for a snapdragon 820 chipset phone might be worthwhile"

"I was using lumia 720 from april 2013 and liked 720 very much, from last few months i have another office no so want to buy dual sim phone and very much confused as i dont want to use android phones"

"after using 5 days of lumia 950 i can say that my decision to stick with windows phones is right and i totally love the phone in every aspect"

"3000 mAh battery - good battery life"

"Type C usb - lightening fast charging - charges more than 50% battery in less than 30 minutes"

" It's still enough to last a full day, but you'll more than likely need to charge it every night if you're a heavy user"

" It also supports wireless charging, and is compatible with regular Qi charge mats"

" The 15W charger provided charges the phone really fast, that helps with battery issue"

"*Battery Back up has improved drastically, i could get through almost 2 days of normal usage"

" USB type C charger works as they marketed"

" With 3000mAh , battery is sufficient enough"

"The main reason I love windows phone is the amazing battery life, 36 months promised updates and of course the premium camera sensors"

"Windows phone have always been better in terms of battery life they offer"

"Though with Lumia 950 the battery life is just decent"

"The battery is replaceable which is great if somehow you got the battery damaged after the guarantee period"

"There is nothing like a battery draining issue "

"There is a battery saver mode in windows 10 which works pretty well and does help getting through the day with enough juice remaining in the end"

"It has a beautiful screen, removable battery, removable/replaceable case, slick fast operating system, and with a USB-c to HDMI, dock, and Bluetooth keyboard and mouse is a PC in your pocket"

" But the battery life is Great, provided one knows how to control charge draining applications, solutions for which, the OS generously bestows"

" Battery, Removable and good mAH abttery"

" Running one Microsoft account (Mail, Calendar & Contacts) and WhatsApp - having uninstalled all other possible apps, put on 25% brightness, blocked all apps except Phone, Message & WhatsApp from running in the background and with neither WiFi nor Bluetooth on, it dies within 8 hours of removing from the charger, even in good cellular coverage regions"

"VERY SLIM AND AWESOME LOOKS WITH REMOVABLE BATTERY"

" You will again need to check for updates to get to 10586.318 build (super stable build with no battery or heating issues)"

" I would recommend doing power cycling (complete charge and discharge till 10%) for 3-4 times and then you should have a stable battery"

" Don't follow this practice after initial phase as this is Li-ion battery and doesn't suffer from battery memory loss effect (Google it to find out more)"

" General thumb rule is to keep the battery over 35-40% at all times to maintain a healthy battery for the phone"

"Battery - Good enough for one day"

" But this also gives us advantage of removable battery"

" The matte polycarbonate encasing is cool to touch but does get considerably warm while using quick charge"

" The battery life is fine, i get one full day with 24/7 3g net on, two emails sync, with glance screen set to 30min timeout, Iris scanning turned on "

"More a camera than a smart phone."

"GREAT CAMERA AND DISPLAY || HONEST AND DETAILED REVIEW || Read this before you buy"

"good phone great camera"

" The camera is just too good"

"20mp rear camera and 5mp front camera - the photos are amazing, even in low lights"

" Camera clarity is top notch, slow motion video feature is really cool, camera launches immediately on pressing the camera button and u don't loose a moment while capturing the photo"

" Camera awesome"

"The camera is best"

"First the good things - Fantastic Display and camera performance "

"Excellent camera, network connection"

"Findings: Best camera ever in Lumia and compared with Galaxy note 5"

" While its Peacekeeper score of 750 isn't particularly promising on paper, web pages loaded quickly and it didn't stutter over images or embedded videos either"

" Weighing 150g and measuring 8.2mm thick, the Lumia 950 is reasonably chunky for its size, but its smooth plastic rear does sit well in your hand"

" Colour accuracy is also very high, covering 99.6% of the sRGB colour gamut, and its infinity:1 contrast ratio means that images look absolutely stunning"

"All this doesn't sound particularly promising, but the Lumia 950 does have one redeeming feature: its rear 20-megapixel camera"

" Regardless of whether I had our external lamp turned on or off, the Lumia 950 produced stunning photos, showing plenty of detail, rich, vibrant colours and hardly any noise to speak of"

" Its triple LED flash also produces beautifully clean images, maintaining an accurate colour balance without making lighter objects appear green or blue"

" You probably won't need to use it that often when the flash is so good in the first place, but it's still a brilliant tool to have if you're not particularly pleased with the end result"

"---------PROS---------► Continuum► Camera---------CONS---------► Battery► Performance In General► Native App Selection-------------VERDICT-------------The Lumia 950 has a superb camera and Windows 10 Continuum is a revelation, but it's crippled by sluggish performance and a mediocre battery✽✽✽✽✽✽✽✽✽✽✽✽✽✽✽✽✽✽✽✽✽✽✽✽✽✽PLEASE REVIEW THE IMAGES FOR MORE INFO✽✽✽✽✽✽✽✽✽✽✽✽✽✽✽✽✽✽✽✽✽✽✽✽✽✽“I HOPE, MY REVIEW WOULD BE HELPFUL TO YOU"

"The pictures are very well saturated to give that natural look with a slighter touch of bright colours"

" There is also this really cool feature when taking a flash photo where you can change the lighting effect to reduce the effect of the flash, which really improved some harshly lit photos"

"It has all the other great features of a later Nokia/Microsoft handset - clean, fast and uncluttered Windows Phone interface; great camera & picture quality; excellent, hardy physical design with dedicated camera button and good audio quality; and I was optimistic about the possibilities the Continuum/Display Dock feature would provide after the bugs were ironed out"

" good camera, Cortana is amazing"

" For Camera lovers this is the one to go for"

" I personally have purchased it for the joy of using a beautiful OS along with the best smartphone camera available today"

"Camera - The BEST smartphone camera that your money can buy today (I am considering Nokia 808, Lumia 1020, Lumia 1520, Lumia 930, Galaxy S7 and the (in)famous Xperia Z5)"

" The camera is good and the best is the set up"

" The best camera3"

" Camera was excellent at start but now it's shaking like anything"

" Camera is superb, the captured images and videos are very sharp and produces apt color"

" It could just about manage simple 3D games like Beach Buggy Racing, but controls weren't particularly responsive and I even experienced frame rate drops in 2D games like Jetpack Joyride"

" Its super fast, the hexacore and ram make this device a lean mean graphics processor,; from streaming videos to playing games, there is NO lag at all"

"- Friends please do not blame about the heating issues unless ur mobile is upgraded with latest firmware & OS Build (though there is a minor heating issue which is available on every Snapdragon mobiles)"

" Lumia 950 does not have heating problem once firmware is updated"

" WhatsApp: Eats huge memory so better to re-install once in a month and do not forget to take back-up before uninstalling"

" Don't follow this practice after initial phase as this is Li-ion battery and doesn't suffer from battery memory loss effect (Google it to find out more)"

" The clarity on the screen is awesome"

" Hardware is top notch, display is clear and crisp"

"The screen is super sharp and vibrant,"

"First the good things - Fantastic Display and camera performance "

" Dual sim, free display dock(preorder offer)"

" Good display and lots of features that changed the perception of using windows mobile"

" That might not sound like a long time, but in the context of a mobile operating system, it's enough to make you question whether you even tapped the screen correctly, which just isn't good enough when you're spending this amount of money"

"Battery life, however, was a little underwhelming, as its 3,000mAh battery lasted just 10h 01m in my continuous video playback test with the screen brightness set to 170cd/m2"

" This really makes the refreshed Live Tile interface of Windows 10 jump out of the screen, delivering pitch perfect 0.00cd/m2 blacks in the notification bar and individual settings options"

" This is just about enough to see the screen clearly outside, but overhead lights or bright sunshine play havoc with its visibility, even when brightness is set to max"

" Its camera and Windows 10 Continuum are fantastic, but its day-to-day performance, battery life and low screen brightness just aren't quite good enough to warrant a whole-hearted recommendation"

"- Excellent Display, loved the black"

" Fantastic display with a great camera and super fast operation"

"Its one of the sharpest and brightest display present in the market"

"As seen in most of the windows phone ,it also has this super sensitive touch screen for using it with gloves and It does matter a lot"

" The start screen looks so dynamic With windows 10 in this phone, you can expand external memory upto 200GB"

"The on-screen time is comparably better than other flagships with full HD + displays"

" If you prioritise a great screen, good camera, expandable memory and CONTANIUM then look no further"

"It has a beautiful screen, removable battery, removable/replaceable case, slick fast operating system, and with a USB-c to HDMI, dock, and Bluetooth keyboard and mouse is a PC in your pocket"

"great screen"

" Display, Impressive"

"AWESOME DISPLAY AND FEATURES"

"in and register your device to receive a free Continuum display dock (market price is 6000 rupees)"

" To compare, remember that Sony TV that you saw at the mall which was priced at 100000, this will match that screen in terms of vividness, clarity and colour reproduction"

"3) The display is excellent, QHD display with AMOLED screen, the phone has sunlight readability setting, it is very bright even under sunlight"

" We just need to look on the top of the screen to unlock the phone, so simple"

"As expected its a seamless windows experience"

" Before start to use you need to update firmware by using windows device recovery tool by using PC , then OS update "

" OS improvement"

"Thanks to Windows 10's universal apps, everything on your phone, from Edge, Office, Maps and Cortana right down to the layout of your Start screen, now looks virtually identical to what's on your desktop, delivering the same kind of user experience regardless of which platform you happen to be using"

" This is a real shame, as there's clearly a lot of potential here, but when it costs this much on a contract, you're paying a lot for something that doesn't feel nearly as slick as its Android rivals"

"FOR EXAMPLE: The amazon app available in windows phone store doesn't have many features that android's amazon app has"

"FINALLY i would say, windows phone 10 OS is very beautiful ,decently feature rich and a lot customisable"

"The ability to adjust exposure and stuff with windows 10 camera and that even while the recording is live, is a good feature windows phone has"
