Still, as much as we hate to disappoint our readers, we need to stand our ground on this one: While Windows 10 Mobile has promise as a platform, the 950 itself isn't exactly what we'd call flagship-grade hardware. The design lacks the charm and polish of earlier Lumia handsets, and the battery life was mediocre at best. Also, our reviewer encountered enough sluggishness and random crashes to conclude the OS still needs polish.
The Lumia 950 vs. the competition: A battle of flagships
The smaller of the new Lumias is quite the powerhouse on paper, but how does it stack up against the latest iOS and Android devices? At first glance, Microsoft's newest flagship, the Lumia 950, seems plenty powerful with its 1.8GHz hexa-core Snapdragon 808, 3GB of RAM and 5.2-inch Quad HD AMOLED display. However, we've got the face-off after the break with a side-by-side comparison between the Lumia 950, iPhone 6s and Nexus 5x so you can decide for yourself which one best suits your needs.
