Microsoft Lumia 950 - the perfect combination

But the machine also possesses a great feature that we not seen in any other device, such as Continuum. With Continuum, the machine can become a computer through a docking support (Display Dock for $ 99), this shows that Microsoft is taking steps in the right direction.

Strong design quality

With a length of 145 mm, the Lumia 950 is only slightly longer than the Lumia 930, a smartphone is Microsoft launched 18 months ago, although a width of 73.2 mm same level. The machine weighs about 150 grams, 17 grams lighter than the Lumia 930. But 950 looked pretty strong, comfortable feeling when holding the rounded corners and the Microsoft logo prominent on the menu.

Lumia 950 back plastic cause users frustration, because it is the weakest point of Windows Phone in the past year. Still, quite powerful hardware with 6 core Snapdragon chip speed of 1.8 GHz 808, 3GB RAM and 32 GB of internal memory. The highlight of the 3000 mAh battery product is detachable.

Thanks to this power that surpassed 930 Lumia 950 in the multitasking test, and goes beyond the mid-range Lumia 830 products that Microsoft launched in July 11/2014. Experience with heavy game Asphalt 8: Airborne without seeing jerk phenomenon during gameplay.

Lumia 950 is the first Lumia smartphone supports the new USB-C in order to improve the speed of a wired connection and quick charging. Microsoft said that the Lumia 950 charger can charge the phone up to 50% in just half an hour. But users need to keep in mind is not to lose charger and microUSB cable because the cable in recent years will not be compatible with the new phone.

Lumia products are known for strong battery life, and the Lumia 950 also shows the ability to manage how well the machine's battery. Experiments in test WPBench battery, the phone can run 2 hours 54 minutes to turn on continuous display and CPU operate at maximum levels. This level of parity with other Lumia members, including 930.

As the first consideration in all, there are four reasons to buy the Lumia 950 is a Windows 10 Mobile, Continuum, Windows Hello and camera software. These features can help users distinguish it from other devices.

10 Mobile Windows platform may be familiar to anyone who has participated in trials Insider Preview version, which offers the possibility of organized arrangements for the application. Much of Microsoft's Universal application, which means that applications can work on any device Windows 10 and change the visibility depending on the device. In fact, this application is a prerequisite for the Continuum, a feature that allows you to connect Lumia 950 (and 950 XL) with an external monitor via wired or wireless, then use the application to Universal display content from the smartphone screen.

Although Windows 10 Mobile is appreciated but currently this operating system still has some bugs that have not been fixed. For example, sometimes the Settings app fall prey to black while other applications sometimes disappear. In any case, might be, Microsoft still needs to do a lot to create a complete operating system the most.

Microsoft also has equipped the Lumia 950 a version of Windows Hello, a function less efficiently than what Microsoft's new Surface line received. Lumia 950 uses the iris of the eye to determine the user's host device with a processing time of a few seconds. This makes people impatient usually chooses to unlock by hand instead.

Powerful camera software

Lumia 950 equipped with a 20-megapixel image sensor with a sensor size of 1 / 2.4-inch aperture f / 1.9. Flashes of the machine pretty good handle help illuminate the surroundings objects but retains the natural color of the photographs in low light conditions. And most importantly, because the Lumia 950 is a product of the premium segment, Microsoft has given the machine a physical camera button for better manipulation.

While hardware features on the Lumia 950 camera are not groundbreaking, but aerial photography software products very appreciated. One of the important features on the new device from Microsoft's Rich Capture. Previously, Rich Capture captures an image with a scene together with flash, after the picture is taken, the camera allows you to adjust the flashlight through blending algorithms in the image. Sadly, the Lumia 950 does not apply HDR imaging capabilities.

One thing to remember is that Microsoft has equipped the Lumia 950 image processing software Lumia Creative Studio, that enable users to automatically improve the quality of the image to be treated.

Put these issues aside, the Lumia 950 seems impressed when removing the latency of the screen, and the camera's color more vivid than ever. However, many other smartphone platforms now offer users the option to take a photo, "professional" like what the Lumia series are. This may be difficult for a new product from Microsoft.
