Microsoft has pretty much used up their chances. The only way I would consider the 950XL is if it was sub 350$.
Anything over that, it makes no sense to get a windows phone device when considering Android and ios options at that price range...
Someone should put some sense into the internet, I seriously don't see these devices as flagships given the release window and the specs we're looking at. These are mid range devices at best, they carry no flagship differentiating factor.
Flagships should have innovation, these phones have nothing useful we haven't seen before a long time ago.
Last, Lumia hardware has been absolute garbage for me except the ultra low end. I spent 700$ on a 1520, it lasted barely over a year before the battery died and I had to replace it myself. The battery on the 1520 started lasting shorter than the battery on my old iphone 3gs... my 920 had screen gap issues, dust gets into the front and back lens, bad battery issues after a year as well...
Lots of things here that just don't look very good...I'm seriously considering iphones at this point, the price being the only thing that gives me cold sweats... but even older model iphones look more solid than these phones if I look at overall package.
Cheers,
