Microsoft Lumia 950 smartphone range revealed

Very very impressive specs for a Windows Phone. As we know Android likes to & needs to be play the numbers game but MS seems to be on a roll here.
 
And then there's Surface Pro 4 and Surface Book. Will be in USA in Dec, so which one to get?

Decided already that Lumia 950XL is the next phone.
 
The 950 looks like a better option though. Been wanting to scale down from my Note 3.
Only difference between XL and plain 950 is the CPU, from what I can see.
 
I was tempted, but I think I'll put the money towards a surface book instead and keep my lumia 640.
 
This is the first time I've felt a mild desire to own a Windows Mobile phone.
 
I have the Lumia 640 and it is not a bad phone at all. The specs are decent and I have access to pretty much all the apps I need. I just wonder when the Windows 10 update will be available.
 
I was all for Win Mobile but the environment was lacking. Apps are just not as good as Android/iOS and it was actually a big dealbreaker.

Such a pity as the Nokia phones are truely awesome, those cameras O_O

I love my Lumia 640. Everyone I let play with it, is flabbergasted that it is so less expensive than other phones, for what you are getting from it.
Ans it's one of the few phones that has incredible call clarity.
 
I love my Lumia too and can't wait for the Windows 10 update. If it's good then my next phone will be a Lumia again. The 950 looks great.
 
With Samsung and Apple pricing going through the roof, Lumia is a good choice again.
 
I have a Lumia 640, I am very happy with it so far. It is upgradable to Windows 10 later this year.

The Microsoft phones are priced very well.
 
I have the 640XL and i have to say for a non flagship phone it packs a punch. The windows store sucks but i knew that going in but so far i love it and i have used ios and android before.
 
No-one's mentioned that the new Lumia 950 XL has a water-cooled CPU.

Microsoft announces Lumia 950 and 950XL water-cooled Windows Phones

...

The Snapdragon 810 has a reputation for heating up rapidly, which might be why Microsoft has opted to bring the phase-change liquid cooling technology from the Surface tablets over to its phones. We can surmise a bit about how this will work based on the Surface. In these devices, the liquid cooling system consists of a thin copper heatpipe connected to the processor. There’s water inside the heatpipe, which turns into vapor as the CPU ramps up. That vapor travels through the heatpipe to a fan that cools it off and lets it condense into liquid water again.

... If Microsoft can keep the Snapdragon 810 cool, it might be a worthwhile upgrade over the 808. In many Android devices, the 810 has to throttle down aggressively as it heats up, ending up not much faster than the 808. Windows on phones is already a snappy experience, even on mid-range devices. With a full-speed Snapdragon 810, it might be completely lag and stutter free.

(I used to do liquid cooling for PCs as a hobby, in dem Prescott and LGA775 days. )
