Microsoft Lumia 950 XL
Microsoft has been making big promises about Windows 10 Mobile for more than a year now. These have ranged from lofty claims about a new category of "Universal Apps", iris-scanning Windows Hello tech and, of course, the Lumia range's trademark PureView...
Decent screen ; Good camera ; Cortana
Dull design ; Not enough consumer apps ; Buggy

Microsoft Lumia 950 XL review
Tempting for the Windows faithful, but no one else
Great Screen ; Fantastic camera ; Strong performance
Inconsistent battery life ; Lack of quality apps ; Many bugs still present
With a superb camera, lovely screen and smooth performance, the Lumia 950 XL is an easy sell for the Windows faithful. But with few apps, many areas in need of polish and inconsistent battery life, it isn't for everyone.

Microsoft Lumia 950 XL review: a top phone if it wasn't for Windows 10 Mobile
It may appeal to enterprise professionals and Windows diehards, but is that enough?
Strong camera ; Decent screen ; User friendly UI
Average battery life ; Buggy OS ; Inconsistent iris scanner

Microsoft Lumia 950 XL: One platform to rule them all - Pocket-lint
Microsoft has thought long and hard about how all its disparate hardware exists and has come up with Windows 10 to bring it all together. Now the Microsoft
What the Microsoft Lumia 950 XL lacks in design wow, it makes up for in seamless cross-platform integration. That and a whole load of power in the spec department.

Microsoft Lumia 950 XL review: This flagship Windows 10 device falls short of the mark
The Lumia 950 XL is Microsoft's larger flagship device for showing off Windows 10 on phones, but its plasticky design and poor app selection means this phone doesn't impress.
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.

Microsoft Lumia 950 XL review
The bigger of Microsoft's two new Windows 10 phones is the Lumia 950 XL but should you buy one?
The Lumia 950 XL is an attractive phone for those looking for Windows productivity thanks to features like Continuum and Universal Apps. It's a good deal at the moment with the free Display Dock but he phone itself has nothing major going for it on the...

Microsoft Lumia 950 XL Review: In Depth
Microsoft Lumia 950 XL Review: We test the new super-sized Lumia 950 XL to see how this Windows 10 phone stands up to iOS and Android rivals.
Windows 10 has potential ; Continuum ; Sharp, colourful screen ; Decent camera
Windows 10 also has bugs ; Plastic design ; Windows Hello inferior to fingerprint sensors
Windows 10 is bursting with potential, despite its familiar appearance. Give it time and Microsoft’s OS will hopefully be an easy equal to Android, offering a simple and attractive interface for smartphone noobs as well as plenty of functionality for...

Lumia 950 vs Lumia 950 XL: What's the difference Lumia 950 & 950 XL?
We compare Microsoft's two new Windows 10 flagship phones, the Lumia 950 & 950 XL, to see which is best for you
Which phone is best for you will depend partly on your budget (there is £100 separating these two Lumias) and partly on your desired screen size. The phablet-class 5.7in panel on the Lumia 950 XL will be too large for some users, yet welcome if you do...

Microsoft Lumia 950 XL review: Microsoft's last Windows Phone?
The Lumia 950 XL is the best Windows 10 Mobile phone you can buy, but there are better, cheaper phones on other platforms
There’s plenty to like about the Microsoft Lumia 950 XL, and coming with an open mind and no real history with Windows Phone, I got on with the OS better than I expected. However, even if you take the somewhat controversial position that any mobile OS...

Microsoft Lumia 950XL review
The phone you can unlock with your face
Windows Hello works surprisingly well; Good quality camera; Replaceable battery; micro SD slot
Windows Hello and Continuum both need refinement; Continuing app drought
A good-enough phablet, but you’d need to have huge faith in Microsoft’s ability to catch up with its competitors to buy this Windows 10 Mobile phone over the Android and iOS alternatives
