Cool new features
One of the most interesting smartphone options is Windows Hello - unlocking the smartphone using a retinal scan. Moreover, photographs or even blood relativescannot deceive the system - the smartphone recognizes the trick and requests a PIN.

Two versions
Simultaneously with the Nokia 950, the Nokia 950 XL model was announced. It differs from the usual one by a large display - 5.7 inches, a Snapdragon 810 processor and a liquid cooling system that prevents overheating of the case, evenly distributing heat from the processor over all areas of the back cover.
Photos & Videos
The smartphone is equipped with two cameras - front (5 MP) and powerful main (20 MP with LED flash).
Under normal lighting, it is easy to get bright, high-quality pictures with correct color reproduction. But auto exposure works inaccurately, often a good result can be achieved only on the second attempt, which is not always convenient.
The camera app Microsoft Camera lacks many of the handy settings and modes that not only competitors have, but were included in the brand's earlier Lumia Camera 5.0 app.
As for the video, the camera can shoot it in 4K resolution - 2160 pixels, 30 frames per second. Butthe result also varies in quality due to problematic autoexposure.
Customer feedback
The first reviews quickly appeared on the novelty - the brand's fans were looking forward to it. To view it from all sides, you can easily find a video review from one of the major electronics stores on the Nokia 950.
The approximate price of a smartphone is about 45 thousand rubles. Is it really worth that kind of money? What do buyers think about Nokia Lumiya 950? Reviews for it are mostly positive. This is a very good, but not perfect smartphone. It has a beautiful bright screen, a large amount of internal memory, an elegant and user-friendly OS. The latter is a little buggy, which causes a few hiccups, but since updates are regularly released to it, this does not cause any tangible inconvenience.
What can not be said about the limited number of applications - yes, their number is growing rapidly, but even in the future it will not soon be equal to the number of applications for Android or iOS.
Battery easily lasts a day of use and recharges very quickly.
But many buyers have noticed a significant heating of the smartphone during prolonged (more than half an hour) work.
Also, the disadvantages include such an important parameter as call quality. The interlocutor is heard with a slight echo, when switching to speakerphone mode, the sound deteriorates significantly (and the interlocutor immediately understands that you are busy not only with a call).
Camera operation suits most users, low light shotsare processed a little longer, but in general this is a good alternative to a separate compact digital camera, especially in everyday life.
Summing up
"Nokia 950" - a smartphone that fully justifies its cost. If you are not embarrassed by the possible inconvenience in the form of the absence of some applications, then it is unlikely to disappoint you.
