Excellent display, Great camera
Limited app selection, Buggy OS
The Microsoft Lumia 950 XL gets high points for its design and camera, but limitations on Windows 10 apps make it a difficult smartphone to recommend...
Finally, a new flagship Windows phone! Windows Hello iris recognition, big high res AMOLED display, fast CPU. Great camera
Looks don't match the price tag. Bugs and quirks hold this powerful phone back right now
There's a lot to like about the Microsoft Lumia 950 XL. After all, it's the first flagship Windows phone with a big display and top of the line CPU in some time. The display is colorful and reasonably bright and the phone has one of the best rear cameras...

and PWM, small outliers in terms of voice quality, appears a bit too simple, runtimes could be better, missing apps in the store, small issues with Windows 10 Mobile
The long wait for a new flagship smartphone from Microsoft was worth it. The Lumia 950 XL is a great high-end product, which does not make any mistakes in respect of the technology. Besides a fast SoC, you get sufficient storage, which can also be expande...
I plan on rocking these on our Lumias going forward until something better comes along. In any case, you should order up a few just in case.Order Lumia 950 Blue or Orange Battery covers Order Lumia 950 XL Blue or Orange Battery covers...
Performs well, One of the best rearfacing cameras on the market, Windows 10 Mobile has some interesting innovations, like the Windows Continuum and Windows Hello, Features USB TypeC
Exceptionally poor finish and outdated design, Expensive starting price, Average battery life, Windows Continuum leaves room for improvement
Microsoft's Lumia 950 XL is the best Windows 10 Mobile available when it comes to specs, software display quality, and the camera. On the other hand, past Lumias had a better finish, design and price-to-performance ratio, especially when Nokia was making...
Big display with reasonably accurate colors, Elaborate camera that handles most scenarios reliably, Features like iris scanner security and Continuum are quite advanced, although very niche at the moment
Mediocre design and build quality, Very low maximum brightness for the display, Frustrating user experience that's riddled with bottlenecks
Unfortunately, the Lumia 950 XL fails to champion Windows 10 before the better, faster, stronger competition of Android and iOS phablets. The operating system is still in need of improvement and doesn't make for the kind of polished user experience that w...

Fast performance, Camera takes great photos, Lighter than previous Lumias
Boring design, Not enough apps, Windows 10 Mobile feels like a weird mix
More times than not, the Verge score is based on the average of the subscores below. However, since this is a non-weighted average, we reserve the right to tweak the overall score if we feel it doesn't reflect our overall assessment and price of the produ...

Abstract: The Phone That Works Like Your PC. That is the tagline Microsoft is using to promote the new Lumia 950 and 950 XL smartphones. They are not only the first smartphones to run on Windows 10 with access to Windows universal apps, they also support Continuum...
The Microsoft Lumia 950 XL has a pin-sharp, vivid display, plenty of power, expandable storage and a solid camera
The app selection for Windows phone is still very limited and the phone's design feels plasticky
While the Lumia 950 XL has the specs you'd want from a top-end phone, the Windows 10 experience offers no compelling reason to switch from iOS or Android...
Abstract: I said in part 1 of this review that it's now perfectly practical to leave Rich Capture in the 'automatic'/on mode, and this is how my Lumia 950 and 950 XL are configured.There are only two downsides to doing this, and I must emphasise that they're only d...
