          Im buying one now under $70, still got a year before the apps have any issues (IDGAF about whats app Viber etc.) I got iphones, androids, and all unlocked just switch the sim. I am cool with the phone, the camera, some games, and a few apps I use. I dont need a ton of things I dont go on instagram or facebook anymore. Screw them, I scratched that itch. I barely use them on my laptop. Im mad that Microsoft made so many bad choices, and so many people were followers, I mean if Kim K has an iphone I gotta have one! This 80 year old lady, god rest her soulnow, but Im a computer dork, she had no idea what one was and tried to tell me about how she was getting an iphone, and how samsung make the best this. Im thinking micrcosm of the human race. And for 70 bucks, Ill buy a different phone next year when the app store shuts down, if I need to, bc if anyone has been following whats been going on, they been doing a lot of good things, people have desktop windows installed on the Windows Mobile, they got Secureboot Flaw being worked over. Microsoft should have gotten android apps somehow into the phone, might have saved it. And it IS WORTH SAVING, iphones feel like toy OS's Android is ok, feels kinda cheap t me but at least its customizable. Windows mobile feels like an adult phone to me.

                    I brought my Lumina 950 in crisis my other Lumina died, I had it 4.5 yrs. When I left the AT & T store with the Lumina 950 it took a little time to get use to and work with but overall, was happy with it. However I was also trying to Refinance at the time, I was preoccupied. The phone was both burning my finger pads, and would completely die on me after it had just been fully charged. I missed important calls. I went back to at & t they told me I should go to their other store so a diagnostic test could be done to see what was wrong, I went but missed store hours. Tried again and was told I likely need a new battery, but they do not do diagnostic tests. I should return to the original store again and see if they want to help me out as it now past 14 days. These phones are not cheap, and we relay on them. I don't have time to run all over on wild goose chases. So disappointed in AT &T customer service and Microsoft Quality control. Care enough about your image, products and customer that you do not put your pardons through this. issues is still not resolved.

                      Living images actually saves the file in a .mp4 format as well. You can see that if you browse on the file manager to the photos directory

                        Ive had the phone for a week. Its an awesome device. IRIS scan is fast and reliable. It even works when Im wearing sunglasses with a reflective coating.

                              does the the FM Radio work on the 950? Microsoft says the 950 has the hardware but isn't enabled due to missing software to support. GSM Arena specs and review says phone has FM Radio but might require download of FM Radio app from store.

                              what's truth. Anyone actually use the FM Radio on the 950?

                                    Very good article, really appreciate the non-bias review as many other reviewers find this difficult to do.

                                    I must say the under the CONS, now that I have used both the iPhone 6s and the 950, I much prefer the Iris scanner, it seems to be a little more responsive than Apples fingerprint.

                                    I have had the 950 for a week now and am absolutely loving it, Microsoft have really come up with a winner with this phone!

I keep personalizing it to my taste every now and then but other than that, it is a great phone. Before the 950, i used iphone 6 plus and Lumia 930 for over a year. Now both SIMs are in the 950.
                                        The 950 meets all my expectations when it comes to display, UI, battery life ... etc. I'm not happy with Youtube and Whatsapp Apps on it but it is not hard to get used to them as they are. the 950 is my business companion ... so far it is just great!
