is it possible to just update windows to 22h2? because the latest update was 1709 or something for these windows phones, so whats stopping you from just updating further? and if this doesnt work, the microsoft store should also be updatable. and what about just installing android? i need to get one of these to test this stuff myself

ALLbBAK, 07 Oct 2023The Microsoft Lumia 950XL was ahead of its time! Yes, A... morethe real problem about it was it has microsoft/windows phone tag so people already have prejudged about the os and it really didn't help when it was first release the windows 10 mobile was full of bugs, it was half baked and when the company only had small share on the market,it was really hard to get some traction with those early problems but when they released few updates to fix most of the bugs,boy oh boy this phone was really way ahead of its time

The Microsoft Lumia 950XL was ahead of its time! Yes, Apple had more apps but whatever app I needed for business worked proficiently and fun apps were plenty. Bleeding end tech from a CPU, RAM, expandable storage, seamless compatibility to sync phone to PC/laptop with ease. The day came when while sitting down into a Recaro seat my screen/digital display cracked beyond repair. It wasn't until the representative at the Genius bar assisting with my data migration asked if they could examine my phone, wow's were had highlighting the Lumia 950XL display, CPU, expandable storage and USB-C were ahead of the latest released iphone. Post 3 years, iphone is OK but I really miss the Microsoft phone for speed, seamless sync, expandable storage (no one done with paying for cloud storage) and clarity on voice/video

in 4:3--------19mp and 8mp
you could do living images basically a bit like gif and i think you could save the photo in raw, i never check it in 950 so i'm not sure. but in lumia 1020 there's definitely a raw format

About 16:9 aspect ratio, my question is, what would be the maximum resolution in 16:9 ratio, it probably isn t full 20 megapixel, but less, thats what I meant, how high the resolution of the image is.

i recently bought an android phone,s20fe 5g to be exact. mainly for emulation and surprisingly the w10m still hold its power, with all those newer technology, features and stuff in s20fe 5g and android 13 with oneui 5.1, i still decided to use both s20fe 5g and lumia 950 since there are still few features still lacking on s20fe 5g. you would be surprise how many of those latest software features on android 13 with oneui 5.1 are in w10m

Jim, 27 Jul 2023Hello everyone, I have a couple of questions, can it play F... moreyou have an option to not using the the iris scanner/windows hello, basically just using pin code if you want to have some kind of security, and it using infra red, when it's on and scanning you could see the infra red placement and the light
not sure about audio, but it's definitely unable to play hevc video, like av1,x265 and stuff. i don't understand your second question, whether it's the camera resolution in 16:9 format or the screen itself. for the third one, a bit of confusions, whether it's about security or the phone usability.
for the security, well so far i didn't encounter issues but i definitely wouldn't do banking/money transfer on it. for the usability, it's depend with your usecase.for me it's still usable, it's still my daily driver but that's because i don't do much with my windows phone. mainly just reading article,browsing, reading manga, and watching video. if you looking for game or emulator in wp10, you're out of luck. i don't do social media, so i'm not sure whether the third party apps still working or not,for communication there's basically only telegram left. sms and calling still work perfectly fine, camera(videos and pictures) still look very much decent, especially if you also utilize the manual mode, few apps still working fine, although it's not really plenty of them.browsing internet still decently functional although you might notice there are few issues here and there, i still love reading manga on wp10,those 16:9 ratio just perfect for manga. watching video, like i said for newer/newest compression like hevc, you're going to have a tough time here,other than that it's still looks mighty fine

Hello everyone, I have a couple of questions, can it play FLAC files (up to 192 khz)? what is maximum resolution in 16:9 ratio (how many mpx, 12,17)? Is it safe to use today without updates? Thank you.
