Cons

Limited apps

Bottom Line

The Lumia 950 has a lot going for it, with its premium features and great Windows Mobile OS. It, however, is in dire need of more apps to take advantage of its powerful hardware.

The Microsoft Lumia 950 is late 2015 5.7-inch high-end Windows smartphone. Critics praised it for its innovative features like the iris-scanner which allows you to unlock the phone, and Continuum, which allows you to connect the phone to a larger screen for more work space. PC users will enjoy the familiar Windows OS that is both fluid and slick. The major problem with running Windows mobile is the lack of apps. Windows Mobile only has a minute share of the market, and hence many developers opt to spend their time creating Android and iOS apps.

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.
