The tweakers review hits the nail on its head: This is a phone for the lovers of Windows Mobile. Win10 mobile is not yet finished and there is a appgap. Apart from that it is also a top-class device in terms of hardware and ease of use.
Pros
- Beautiful and well screen
- Win10 for business use is very suitable
- Very good camera
- Good hardware
Cons
- “AppGap”
- OS has many dangers

InleidingIn december had Tweakers and Microsoft a action, they were looking for 10 volunteers who have their own phone wanted to swap for a Lumia 950XL. I’m completed. n of the lucky ones that the phone was allowed to test and keep (now that I have this review have written 
If you have not yet done so, I encourage you wholeheartedly to read the reviews of Tweakers to read, because apart from the life-experience endorse I the conclusions completely
For convenience, the links to the review of the phone and the review of Win10 Mobile:
reviews: Microsoft Lumia 950 and 950 XL: declaration of love to the fans
reviews: Windows 10 Mobile: a new Windows Phone for everyone
In my review, I want the business appoint myself have noticed and where I was during the use of the device against them, ben walked. With a description of the hardware, software, and photos of the unit I will not bother you, that info have others much better for you made a list of 
The specifications that matter are fine. The device has hardware everything for each other: Fast Soc, lots of ram, expandable storage, there is a dualsimversie, topscherm with high resolution and USB-C.
I have my iPhone 5C working at Tweakers left behind and use the 950XL business, in addition to my private lwa Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge. I’ve always been a private unit next to the unit of my work, because I like work 
That means I have to the device so that commercial use and, perhaps, other things are important, then, that a private lwa user would find.
My review I’m going the next time on the parts complement, for example, with some extra test shots and a description of the working with Continuum. I will also ask of you to try to incorporate it in my story.commissioning and first indrukkenMet windows mobile, I have the beginning of 2015, my first experiences on can do. I got a client a Lumia 630 to work with. This is a device with an earlier version of windows mobile. I found it a wonderful device. Nice size and for my business use (no Facebook, instagram, snapchat and the list goes on 
), very fine. The 950XL feels like a larger version of that device.
The contents of the box is minimal: Phone, cable, and charger. No earbuds or other extras.
When you turn it on it immediately on the screen just like that of my S6, an Oled screen is. The quality is just super. The screen has a high resolution. Somehow, I can’t distinguish individual pixels. The colors are also properly adjusted and appear to me not oversaturated oid.
The build quality I find good. It is just like previous-generation Samsung Galaxies: Functional plastic. It works well, looks good enough and keep nice.
My unit suffered the first update, so it took a while before I could set up and use. The use goes on smoothly.
I have a office365 subscription, the version for business use (due to exchange) and not the version for private individuals. Until the day of today it is not me managed to get this account to link it to the device. I’ve given up and have a los Microsoftaccountje created to have features like OneDrive ed.
The pairing of the Bluetooth in my Golf 7 didn’t go smoothly. Only after a number of attempts and a few times to delete the link, I managed to get the connection to establish. After these initial difficulties, I have no further more problems for the connection to establish. What I do bother me, is that sometimes the sound sounds like my partner under water. I’ve with my iPhone and S6 never last. Completely flawless seems to be the bluetooth function so for me not to work.Daily usage and windows 10 mobileNa the first period of play, configuring, and getting to know the device, the novelty is off and I can device just use it.Windows HelloHet unlock the device using the irisscanner works well. He recognizes me again and within a few seconds. Today caught me out that I go to my S6 sat staring and wondering why the thing not unlocked 
I think it’s definitely work just as good as a finger print scanner. The backup feature of a pin that is also easy to reach, for those cases that you’re not looking at the screen can look.AccuduurIn contrast to many others, I can take a long time on a battery charge. A day of work (so calendar, check, read mail, appen, etc.) is no problem, even more than 50% at the end of the day. Friday coming home Monday, the phone can get-also, there is still power in the battery.Software NukkenWin10 mobile is not yet finished. So simple is it. It works like a train and the way how it works, suits me.
But as I said: Windows 10 mobile is not. Laadstekkertje in it if the phone is turned off: Phone will turn on (and not only with a laadicoontje). Phone is in trouser pocket, or lying next to me on the chair in the car Constantly, he is to me looking to mn iris scan. Phone on random moments hot and sucks the battery empty. And turn helps. And so there are still more little quirks. Microsoft has already been resolved in the latest software and firmware updates and I have every confidence that they will all be solved. But for now, I should still have some leven.De App GapEen heard much objection to windows mobile is the app-gap. I use few apps (and not even the most well-known as FB, Twitter, instagram, etc), so there’s not really pushing it. For lessons and we I have even made a list of what apps I on android use and this also with windows available:

Yellowbrick – BeschikbaarCameraOver the camera I would short: That’s very good! My experience with newer smart phone camera’s are the Samsung Galaxy S3, the Sony XPeria Z2, the iPhone 5C and the Samsung Galaxy S6. My opinion is as follows:
The least camera in the iPhone. Not strange, because that is also the oldest model. Then comes the Z2. Surprisingly perhaps, because that camera by many reviewers is well appreciated. But I was there only during the day good pictures. As soon as the light went out (and the beer was flowing 
), a liver of this unit there is nothing at all more. That’s why I think the S3 is better, those made in the dark still all usable photos. For many pictures during the steps should I take office with my S3 and kept other equipment in the bag.
The 950XL and the Galaxy S6 to perform for my feeling almost the same and are straatlengtes for the 5C/Z2 and S3. Only because of the zoom and better lens I use now with my compact camera, but the photos from the 950XL are fine to print or in a photo album. The S6 has more features (panorama, handy selfie option, and so on). But in terms of picture quality both during the day and in the dark, escape from the devices to each other hardly. That is also evident from the review of Tweakers. Finally there is the S6, as best buy appointed, but as you can see in almost every single part that the 950XL there is a special mention. Below I have a number of own-made pictures, which I’ve tried similar photo’s with the S6 and the 950XL.

ContinuumHelaas I have the dock yet not receive to own it for testing. When inquiring at the store shows that it can take a little while before I asked him to get. I see there might as well have to try it. If I look how I now my laptop use (email, internet and office), I expect to certainly 80% of my work on the phone to be able to do. I was very impressed by the presentation of the continuumdock at Microsoft, it seems to really be a solution.
When the dock that I have received and agree to be able to play, I want to expand my review on this part.ConclusieKort said: I think it’s a good unit. I can be fine work and the device works stable and fast. At the same time, know the many dangers, which are mainly in the software and hopefully in time be resolved. If you are a heavy user of all sorts of apps, then windows mobile is nothing for you, because unfortunately, not all apps available in this eco-system. The apps that do, work fine.
I keep great business to work with, that may be excellent. For private I keep an android device on after.
