I've had my Lumia 950 for about 2 weeks now, and everything is hunky dory. My fianc? has even told me on a few occasions that she LOVES her phone.
The camera is really stunning. It's not leaps and bounds better than other top end cameras, but it's impressive none-the-less. Pictures are sharp with excellent fine detail, and low light quality is very good. The "finishing touches" process needs to be faster, but I'm consistently impressed by the pictures it takes (like my av picture).
The screen is excellent. Little washed out from the factory, but MS gives you the ability to adjust some settings, so I tweaked it to my liking. I really like the size too. Solid mix of big enough to see full sites, but small enough to be comfortable.
I have the black, fianc? has the white, and the style is... interesting. It doesn't really LOOK high end, but it doesn't look cheap. It's understated, kind of like a nice black suit, won't win you any style awards, but won't get you kicked out of a nice restaurant. The splash of silver from the buttons helps break up the black a bit too. I plan on picking up a Mozo cover, but I'm not in any rush.
The speaker is loud and clear, surprised me when I first used it as a phone.
The microphones are awesome, of course.
The Hello iris scanning is cool. It's sometimes a bit fickle, but it can recognize me with my computer glasses on and my sunglasses (it can't see through my highly reflective cycling glasses though). Still on the gimmicky side, but neat.
I like the direction of the OS as well. It still needs some work, I honestly wouldn't push it to the masses in the same state as it is on the 950/950xl, but it is suitable for DD use. Still a little buggy/crashy, although after a handful of app updates the crashes and random reboots have dramatically decreased. I do like the higher level of customizability you can do on the start screen as well (you can check for my post in the stuck thread if you're curious.)
All in all, I'm happy with my purchase, and this will do nicely as a device until the next flagship lands. So yea, I'm going to be hanging onto this device for a while.
