This phone is equipped with an extremely fast 1800 megahertz Hexa-Core processor, bundled in the Qualcomm Snapdragon 808 MSM8992 system chip with a large 3 GB of RAM. An excellent feature of this device is the 32 GB large internal memory and an SD extension slot, which allows you to install hundreds of applications without thinking about how much storage is left.

Microsoft has made a very good design job making this phone weight just 5.29 ounces. This cellphone is just 0.32" thick, making its way into the thinnest phones podium. This phone is only 5.71" long, but it still manages to hold a 5.2 inches screen. Microsoft offers this phone in black and white. About its construction quality, this cellphone is mostly made with Plastic .

The Lumia 950 has two cameras, a 20 megapixels back camera and a 5 MP front camera. Its back camera lens has an aperture of F1.9 so it can capture very nice photographs even in dark environments. It is also able to shoot videos in 3840x2160 (4K) at 30 fps, and slow-motion videos up to 1920x1080 (Full HD) at 60 frames per second (2 times slower than reality). To complete the camera, it also includes auto-focus.

The Microsoft Lumia 950 includes a spectacular 5.2" screen with a 1440 x 2560 (Quad HD / 2K) resolution, which makes all images and videos look brightful and colorful.

This cellphone counts with WiFi connectivity (which it can share with other devices as a mobile hotspot), LTE-A (4G) ultra fast data connection and also HSPA+ connection type (which is a bit slower 4G variation) and the fastest 3G internet connection, supported by HSDPA and HSUPA technologies. This cellphone has dual SIM to be able to to use 2 different phone numbers and even different carriers in the same cellphone.

The Microsoft Lumia 950 also includes a wide variety of great characteristics such as Wireless charging capability, NFC (to trigger actions, transfer data or make payments by holding your cellphone close to another NFC device or tag), Bluetooth (4.1 ) and GPS (Global Positioning System), and lots of sensors like Light Sensor, Proximity Sensor, Accelerometer, Gyroscope, Barometer and Compass.

This cellphone uses a 3000 mAh large removable battery, enough to provide the Lumia 950 with an incredibly long battery duration.

This phone is definitely a great choice for you no matter if you want a work phone, need a phone to majorly use social networks, are an amateur photographer or will use it for gaming.
