NEW YORK—Microsoft has, at last, announced flagship phones running its phone operating system—two, in fact. There's a big one, the 5.2-inch Lumia 950, and an even bigger one, the 5.7-inch Lumia 950 XL.
The phones have a lot in common: 2560×1440 AMOLED screens, 3GB RAM, 32GB of storage, USB Type C ports for charging, Qi wireless charging, Qualcomm rapid charging, 5MP front cameras, and 20MP rear cameras with triple LED flashes and an f/1.9 aperture. Aside from the screen sizes, the major difference is the processor: the bigger phone has a Snapdragon 810 with 4 big and 4 little cores, the smaller one a Snapdragon 808 with 2 big and 4 little. The XL also has a slightly larger battery—3300mAh, compared to 3000 in the smaller phone. Both phones will have removable batteries, both will support microSD up to 2TB in size, and both will also be available in dual SIM variants.
The big feature that distinguishes the phones from their many competitors is their biometric security. Microsoft has eschewed the fingerprint sensors that are becoming increasingly common in favor of infrared iris scanning. This uses the same Windows Hello infrastructure as is used to enable facial recognition-based logins on the desktop version of Windows 10.
