Don’t let me end with a bad note though the speakers on this thing are still solid enough for a good multimedia experience.Ĭontinued in next page: Camera, OS, UI, and Apps, Display Dock The speakers are found on the back, however, but gladly, they work more than just fine they’re loud and clear – but the bass is nothing like HTC’s BoomSound, nor will it equal front-firing stereo speakers. Viewing angles are amazing, and because of its huge size, it’s not a pain to look at. With the wonderful display up front, movies are magnificent to watch. We guess that’s also why the battery life is amazing, but more on that later. Being an AMOLED panel, blacks are the deepest because they don’t really light up, making the contrast wonderful to look at. Everything is sharp and color-accurate, plus Windows’ black UI helps a lot in making the experience a lot better. It’s not oversaturated, yet things don’t look dull either. The Lumia 950 XL is rocking a 5.7-inch ClearBlack AMOLED display, and this thing is gorgeous the moment you light up the screen.

The camera hump on the back wasn’t really problematic, the microphones and the speakers are well-placed and well-designed, and everything else looks just fine. I tried looking for solutions and if this was normal on the internet, but no one had the same problem, so I thought it might be a problem with our unit, or faulty cutting on my SIM card. I had a slight problem, however when I inserted a nano SIM into SIM 1, I wasn’t able to get it out with the use of a pin, a ballpoint pen and a nail-pusher, which almost damaged my SIM card. This one has dual SIM slots, and a micro SD card slot, making the sides on the outside very seamless. Also, despite being made out of plastic on the back, it’s not glossy and cheap feeling.Īnd speaking of the back, that’s entirely removable with the battery. Despite its size, it’s fairly manageable in one hand it’s not sharp and the buttons are very tactile. This is, after all, a phone marketed as a productivity tool for getting work done.

On the other hand, if you forget about all the colorful Lumia phones and you think about this device as Microsoft’s new-found direction, that I guess I can say it does just fine.
