Does the 950 / Windows 10 Mobile work smoothly with the original Band v1?

I have had numerous issues with the Insider Preview builds on my 1520 when paired with my Band 1 - Delayed/missed notifications to the Band, Driving Mode getting stuck ON when paired with the Band, Cortana weirdness...

Haven't tried, sorry.
 
In display settings, what is % for text, apps and items? Can it be set lower and how does that look?
 
Is there any indication that at&t will offer the XL? Not interested in upgrading from the 1520 6" to the 950 5.2" and I would like to carry on with my next? plan.

No indication from AT&T about XL. You'll have to buy it unlocked.
 
Daniel, I know you mentioned the 950 sports the best, if not one of the best, cameras on the market. Is it the best Lumia camera ever? How does it compare to the Lumia 1020 - which I have?
I ask because the 1020 camera has spoiled me, and I don't want to drop that level of picture quality available in a convenient package.
Thanks

Yes, best Lumia camera ever, I'd agree to that.

I mean, 1020 is in a league of its own, but the algorithms and speed make the 950 more practical IMO.
 
Dan,

I just finished watching your review video for the Lumia 950. Thank you for that wonderful overview.

However, I did see that your cat looks dubious:

...Is he holding out for the Intel chipped phones rumored to be in the pipe? If so, do you think he's a smart cat or has he gotten into the catnip again?
 
Will you (or Windows Central) do a camera comparison between the 1520, 930, 1020, and 950?
 
hi Dan, do you think the double tap to wake ant the glance peek will come in an update? hope so, can't understand why microsoft is removing the good things on their devices... thanks

Yeah, I think it'll come back. I don't think they're removing them as much as they need to get it to work with a QHD display.
 
Hello Daniel! Does Lumia 950 support more slow-mo options than 930/1520? (e.g. 1080p/120fps like iPhone6s)
 
Dan,

Is the 950 that will be available through the brick-and-mortar Microsoft Stores on Nov 26 the AT&T device, or the unlocked version? If it's not the unlocked version, do you know when that version will be available?

Thanks!!

I think both, but can't be positive. Although MS said "a few weeks" for unlocked.
 
The iris scanner is bad for persons who wear glasses, since they can't see the prompts on the screen if they remove their glasses.

Is it possible to set up the iris scanner while wearing contacts, or is that feature useless for persons who need vision correction?

Yes.
 
1) Apart from double-tap to wake, are there any other settings missing? Or added that haven't been discussed yet
2) How'd you recommend using it in the car? Any holders you prefer (perhaps with wireless charging)?
3) Do you think we'll see multitasking support with the 950 any time soon (within a year perhaps)?
4) I see the on screen buttons being hidden often, can you keep hem shown?
5) Has there been any improvement in Wireless charging? Faster or allowing more space in between (for cases and stuff)?

Super sensitive touch.

CR-200 seems to be fine for the car.

Multitasking support?

You can swipe them away or swipe them up to show again.

Qi is Qi, nothing new there.
 
My prescription is extremely strong. I wouldn't even see anything on the screen without glasses or contacts. The scanner would probably be unable to scan through my prescription glasses.

My fianc? is blind as a bat with no eyes, so I might have her try with her glasses just to see. Works fine with her contacts though. I saw Peter Bright had no luck with it with his glasses.
