Phone Continuum allows a user to connect a keyboard and mouse to the handset, and then connect the handset to a display - effectively turning the phone into a mini-Windows 10 PC, complete with desktop-style user interface.

There is also support for Bluetooth 4.1, GPS and GLONASS, plus an FM radio. The rest of the wireless connectivity features include dual-band Wi-Fi a/b/g/n/ac support. The phone uses a nano-SIM card to tap to cellular networks. The Lumia 950 supports 13 or 14 LTE bands (market dependent), there is rich 3G and quad-band GSM support, too. Our battery testing procedure is described in detail in case you want to learn more about it. Our proprietary score also includes a standby battery draw test, which is not featured in our battery test scorecard but is calculated in the total endurance rating. Such usage pattern is of course entirely artificial, but we've established it so our battery results are comparable across devices. The phone does average across all of the separate tests and in the standby endurance (about a week). In our battery test the Lumia 950 scored a 48h rating, which means you can count on two days if you do an hour each of calling, browsing and video playback a day. The phone supports fast charging and can recharge up to 50% of the battery capacity in just 30 minutes. Microsoft has put a beefy 3,000mAh battery inside the Lumia 950, a solid capacity for a 5.2" device. Under direct sunlight, the Lumia 950 retains excellent contrast and stays legible even in brightly lit environments. You have got to remember that anything below 3 is considered calibration-level color accuracy so we're really happy with the fact that Microsoft provides such color accuracy out of the box. The average DeltaE is only 1.9, which is perhaps the lowest average we've seen on a mobile phone. The Lumia 950 has only modest maximum brightness (328nits) if you have the brightness control set to manual, but as soon as you switch to Auto, the phone will push the brightness all the way up to 628nits given the environment is bright enough.Īnother positive remark we have about the screen is excellent color rendering. This means that despite its ample screen real estate, the AMOLED panel offers a superb 564ppi. The diagonal is quite reasonable at 5.2", but the resolution got a massive boost to QHD - 2560 x 1440 pixels. The display of the Microsoft Lumia 950 is one of the highlight features, alongside the chipset and new operating system.
