Every time a phone has come out all I see (well most) are the complaints and defects, even popular threads that talk about getting rid of the phone... So I thought it's only appropriate to make a thread that talks about how and why you love your 950XL.
I have had the Lumia 920 since November 2012, and I have to admit that at first when the renders of 950 and 950XL were coming out I was skeptical and a bit disappointed, thinking "Is this really the phone I waited 3 years for?" But when it was finally released I have to say the specs were everything I wanted and more. Beast processor, (finally) expandable memory, more RAM, better cameras, liquid cooling, light and thin body, wireless charging, USB-C, dual-SIM, etc..., and most importantly, it is the first flagship Windows 10 Mobile phone!
Am I discouraged to discover the creaking back cover? Surely a bit, but it was a simple and basically permanent fix. Yes, I know a $850 (CDN) phone should not do that, but a lot of phones have defects during launch, compared to those this "defect" is as minor as it can get. I just couldn't wait any longer to get my hands on this phone. Am I concerned about the app gap and the fact that even some windows 8.1 apps cannot be found in the Store? Yes, but rather than complaining about it, I am submitting feedback all the time and requesting features from developers, also looking forward to the development of Project Islandwood.
Anyways, people are subject to have their opinions, but I personally am very happy with my Lumia 950 XL, I think it is a beautifully made (not ground-breaking and award-winning by any means), powerful and reliable. And to me that's what a modern smartphone should be about. Friends are quite impressed by it, and few was shocked when they found out the phone is in fact not uni-body. And to hear that the Surface Phone is finally actually in the works, I did not regret getting the 950 XL, but instead got excited that my next phone won't be another 3 years away, while waiting for it I can enjoy this piece of great technology called Microsoft Lumia 950 XL.
