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

    I forgot to add, can I disable iris scanner, or is it always on, if its always on, would putting tape over light stop it.

      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.

              Anonymous, 08 Mar 2023What do you mean no support?microsoft already stop all official supports for windows phone 8.1 and windows 10 mobile from 2019 if i'm remember correctly, basically no os update,no security patches and stuff,and since microsoft stop supporting the os,basically there are no development for the apps itself.you still able to connect to the server of microsoft store in windows 10 mobile but not sure how many decent apps are still functional and available for the mobile platform. and for the case of windows phone 8.1 you can't even access the microsoft stores and pretty much all apps which needs to connect to microsoft server for its to run are dead

                                      Gsmarena seriously needs to do a flashback on this phone. It will be an interesting one because it still has a very capable camera in all conditions, even low light. People call 808/1020's dynamic range, low light performance as outdated, but not so for 950xl.
                                      OEMs have a lot to learn from this phone when it comes to image processing.
