    petras, 18 Nov 2015your list is stupid. Windows hello ? don't need it and won't be anywhere . liquid cooling ? do... moreYes, but since the G4 runs Android, it has lower performance than the Lumia 950.

    Basically, an Android device will need 30-40% more powerful hardware than a Windows phone in order to output the same performance.

                    anonyma, 17 Nov 2015$649 !!!!!!!!!!! for a windows phone....it's to high price... !it is comes with these features:

                    1) iris scanner - 10 times more secured than fingerprint.
                    2) continuum - user can connect the phone to display dock and to a display for sure to get a windows pc without any desktop.
                    3) cooling liquid - other brand phones that using sd810 has complaint that this chip is seriously overheat. so that is a smart solution.

                    looks around, there are many phones out there without these features and using not really safe fingerprint and the price really chocked you. so better think about this again before talk about the price.

                        anonyma, 17 Nov 2015$649 !!!!!!!!!!! for a windows phone....it's to high price... !Actually, the 950 and 950XL should be even more expensive than they already are. This is due to the highly polished, optimized OS. Unlike Android for example, which is a free, buggy, unoptimized, inefficient OS. Not to mention the user experience and user interface of these operating systems. First thing you see is the attention to details and the smart interface of Windows.

                        So yeah... Better OS, awesome hardware that will be able to run all Windows versions coming in the next 3-4 years, etc. That's the reason for its price.
