Microsoft Confirms More Lumia Smartphones with Iris Recognition Coming Soon
Sadly, Continuum is a feature that won’t be available to all: while Microsoft’s upcoming Lumia-branded devices will include the hardware required to make Continuum work, users upgrading older handsets to Windows 10 Mobile will find Continuum disabled on their handsets.
The Lumia 950 XL features a 20MP rear camera with a 5.7-inch QHD touchscreen and a 5 MP front camera. When you use wireless software or a Microsoft Display Dock with your Lumia 950, you can view the contents of the phone on a monitor, and you could navigate using a keyboard and a mouse.
As for the memory, it has 3 GB RAM and it comes with 32 GB internal storage. A 3,340 mAh battery will keep things up and running, and is rechargeable via a USB Type-C port at the bottom of the handset.
A new batch of 950 XL’s for delivery December 11th sold out on Tuesday. According to its press release, AT&T is the “first US carrier” that will offer the Windows 10 smartphone, thus opening the possibility that the device will also get carrier support from other telecommunications company in the future.
Normally priced at $99, this Microsoft Display Dock connects to the smartphone via the USB-C port and delivers DisplayPort, HDMI, USB 2.0 and USB-C connections so users can pair a display and peripherals.
The Windows phone Lumia 950 will now be carried by AT&T. The Microsoft Lumia 950 could be split into monthly payments between 20 to 30 months through AT&T and they could give you an option to have a slightly discounted Surface 3. Still, it’s exciting that Windows phone enthusiasts are going to finally have a new flagship phone to play with, regardless of any little glitches. It’s hard to say how many that means but it’s a good sign for Microsoft that orders are coming in beyond their estimates. Redeem promotional code online through Microsoft Store by 2/29/16.
