Disadvantages MICROSOFT LUMIA 950 XL Specifications & Advantages Review

Product by Microsoft

Several weakness and goodness from MICROSOFT LUMIA 950 XL, this phone have almost similar specifications from Microsoft Lumia 950, but the different mostly only about size. We get bigger smartphone and faster processor Octa Core at Lumia 950 XL while Lumia 950 use Hexa Core processor, all of it use the same Qualcomm processor manufacture. For taking good photography then using 950 vs 950 XL is not get any different, because both of them have the same camera hardware with 20 megapixel with Carl Zeis optical lens. We can choose to use single simcard or dual simcard at Microsoft Lumia 950 XL.

 

Review about Pros and Cons summary at MICROSOFT LUMIA 950 XL 

  • Same with LUMIA 950 (without XL), the big LUMIA 950 XL camera use 20 megapixel resolutions with aperture number f/1.9. More smaller aperture size, more light can get when take photography, this conditions will help up get better images at low light conditions. Having good pictures not always about megapixel, but also sensor type and lens type. At MICROSOFT LUMIA 950 XL for give more better photo result, it use Carl Zeiss optics lens.
  • How about Continuum at MICROSOFT LUMIA 950 XL? This conditions also not run very smooth like at Lumia 950, some time lagging. But again we have to know that this drawback happen because it is first version of smartphone which can run as PC technology from Microsoft, therefore we think that Microsoft will need to have some improvement for this features.
  • Other weakness of having MICROSOFT LUMIA 950 XL is about small number of applications which can install at this phone. Todays Android and iOS are the most biggest smartphone ecosystem, that is why many applications developer focus to develop applications for this two operating system. However, Microsoft still always try to give incentive for several developers to create their applications for Windows Phone OS as well.
  • MICROSOFT LUMIA 950 XL advantages have new iris scanner biometric sensor which known as Windows Hello to give more security protections.
