Still enjoying 96kHz, 16-bit / 3Mbit/s audio recording and also videos with 198kbit/s of unparalleled 3D audio without distortion. 2 years later and still no phone better in this.

Aside from no applications the list of problems:
1) Too easy to crack screen. Have lost 3 costly screen covers thankfully opposed to actual screen.
2) Cannot see screen in natural light or brightly lit artificial environments.
3) Wi-Fi disconnects, forces reboot more than staying connected. Microsoft cannot comprehend adding a "connect" button to settings or making power save work properly.
4) Onscreen keyboard, location of Windows key causes too many lost messages with text input!
Within the first year more applications where discontinued or simply stopped working to make it useful. Lost mobile banking and Starbuck's which never really worked July 2017. Continuim is fun if free, not warranted for purchase. Only UWP applications work which is limited to Microsoft and a few others.
Hope lies in Windows S and application developers waking up to reality of a single application running on PC, tablet, phone, console delivered through the Store. Sadly the phone will be dead before that happens. Great camera, good audio output and capable screen when it can be viewed.

DO NOT BUY THIS PHONE!
The best feature - Continuum is bullshit - there are no apps available except the Office apps (Word, Powerpoint, Excel, Outlook) and edge (which is not actually a browser - it takes 15-20 seconds to display the contents of a page which are already downloaded!
VLC Media player is available but it just does not work. You can't move your video forward; if you try, you WILL HAVE TO wait for 2 minutes for a 5 second forward.
There are almost no apps. Those which are there are either third quality or just do not work.
It does not support VoLTE - so not future proof.
DO NOT BUY THIS PHONE!
I am saying because I am an idiot, who did!

Absolutely the worst phone I have ever had the misfortune of owning. I cannot overstate how much frustration this phone has caused me over the past 6 months of use (as the horribly cracked screen illustrates).
The first month or two I had practically no issues and the one or two I did were related to applications, not the phone itself. Something changed along the way, however, as the device seemed to dedicate itself to my anguish.
At first there were relatively minor glitches (speaker cuts out at times thinking I plugged in headphones, screen becomes stuck in landscape mode) but over time, things only got worse as more debilitating glitches, such as severe lag in the browser with practically 0 load on the device, input lag upwards of FIVE SECONDS and even the occasional freeze. Of course my weeks are never complete without at least one total freeze forcing a reboot either.
That's not to say that every Lumia 950xl has these issues or will ever exhibit even one of them, just that I paid $350 new for the phone and I feel ripped off.
My next device will be an iPhone.

There are also few of them, if last is bad for you just use one before. I just used WDRT after that everything was working smoothly. Its worth the work, you still get flagship functions with newest OS and also still flagship hw, like microphones no one can beat even now. If you are so hungry for apps, wait till surface phone, will be Great but also for 1000-1300euro price I expect.

This is frankly the worst phone ive ever had. Ive had it since it was released and up until very recently it has worked ok but the battery now suddently de charges, and leaving it to charge overnight gives me about 10 minutes of use maximum. Not to speak of the complete lack of apps in the app store. I would also like to point out i barely use my phone other than for calls and texting and the occasional game to pass time by. Really i dont know if this is only a problem for me but it really ruins my day when i get a call, and as i answer it my phone runs out of charge. I do not reccomend this phone to anyone purely from personal experience. Victor

Tell Microsoft to not unscramble the drawer/menu. It looks like a menu for Rootkit or Keygen for pirated games haha! But what's shocking is that is it Windows 10 lolol. :O
