If you’re interested in getting your hands on the Windows 10 Mobile powered Lumia 950 in the UK, you’ll be glad to know the handset has received a price cut in the UK.
Recently, Expansys dropped the price of the Lumia 950 to £279.99, which is quite decent considering what the handset has to offer — apart from the operating system.
The handset’s price might be slightly higher than what Microsoft has listed on its website, but the handset is currently out of stock at the company’s website.
Specifications and Features
Lumia 950 comes with a 5-inch display sporting a resolution of 1280 by 720 pixels, a Snapdragon 212 processor paired with 1GB of RAM, 8MP camera for photos and videos, 16GB of internal storage, a 2,000 mAh battery and ships with Windows 10 Mobile as its operating system out of the box.
The 5-inch display is ideal for users who prefer a compact device that is easy to handle and fits comfortably in one hand. The Snapdragon 212 processor, while not the most powerful on the market, is sufficient for everyday tasks such as browsing the web, checking emails, and using social media apps. The 1GB of RAM ensures that the device can handle multitasking to a reasonable extent, although it may struggle with more demanding applications.
The 8MP camera is capable of capturing decent photos and videos, making it suitable for casual photography. The 16GB of internal storage provides ample space for apps, photos, and other media, and users can expand the storage further using a microSD card if needed. The 2,000 mAh battery should provide enough power to get through a typical day of use, although heavy users may need to recharge before the day is over.
Windows 10 Mobile Experience
Windows 10 Mobile offers a unique experience compared to other mobile operating systems like Android and iOS. It features a tile-based interface that is both intuitive and customizable, allowing users to pin their favorite apps and contacts to the home screen for quick access. The operating system also integrates seamlessly with other Microsoft services such as OneDrive, Office, and Cortana, making it an excellent choice for users who are already invested in the Microsoft ecosystem.
One of the standout features of Windows 10 Mobile is Continuum, which allows users to connect their Lumia 950 to a monitor, keyboard, and mouse to use it as a PC. This feature can be particularly useful for professionals who need to work on the go and want the flexibility of a mobile device that can also function as a desktop computer.
Despite its advantages, Windows 10 Mobile has struggled to gain significant market share, and Microsoft has since shifted its focus away from the mobile operating system. However, for users who appreciate the unique features and integration with Microsoft services, the Lumia 950 remains a viable option.
