6P vs Lumia 950 XL

[Alex98]

Until you drop the phone, the reservoir holding the water breaks and fries the internals due to water damage.

I'm not saying this is likely to happen, but I would be very curious to see exactly how many cases of something similar pop up after this phone enters the wild. Liquid cooling on a mobile device is a neat concept but doesnt seem like a very smart thing to do.

It seems to be the same heatpipe that was found in the Z5 Premium recently. It's not actually like if they were using watercooling
In fact, I'm pretty sure that it's now a part of the S810's recommended integration by Qualcomm to prevent the SoC being as warm as it usually does.

Yeah I didn't figure it was something like traditional PC water cooling but the concept is still pretty foreign in my mind. But of course I'm not an engineer putting hundreds of hours into the R&d of these things either, so its awesome if they got it working well!

Reading between the lines: What Panos was telegraphing about those new Lumias | Windows Central

Read this first. windows central basically is saying. Don't buy these phones. Windows Surface phones are right around the corner (Early 2016)
The author says he has inside info on this. He replies many times in comments section.
Going by what he says, Windows (phone) 10 OS is likely going to die in 6 months since they will need to rewrite the OS again to work with the new Intel chip that will be in the surface phone.

I LOVE windows phones OS. but I promise you, its lacking SO much vs iOS and Android and that doesn't include apps.
Yes, it has calendar and calculator etc. but trust me. I just bought a Microsoft 640 15 days ago, just to play around with the OS again ($79 no contract) and I took it back tonight.

Windows phone OS is not going to die in 6 months. Microsoft isn't going to pimp Continuum then do another OS refresh.

The 950 and 950 XL are more like a taste of what we can come to expect. The Surface Phone is supposed to be where Microsoft can stand head to toe with other flagship phones. Continuum for Phone at the moment is a little limited - but imagine if you could run x86 programs off a phone - that would most definitely be a sell-out feature.

Yep, similar here. Love the ipad but can't stand Ios for a phone.

Honestly, until they can show that Windows 10 on mobile will get great cross-platform dev support I won't buy the product.

Maybe in 2-3 months revisit the question.

Disagree. My perfect solutions:
Smartphone: iPhone (Ok, I'm running Android right now, but Android is the only phone that the hotspot work with.)
Smartwatch: FitBit
Tablet: iPad
Laptop: MacBook Pro, and it ain't even close!

Hi
I am trying to decide between the Nexus 6p and Lumina 950 XL... First I was going to buy the 6P, but then the 950 XL came out The biggest problem with 950 XL is that it runs Window... Always had Android and loves it, but heard a lot great things about Windows. What are you're thoughts?
---Windows VS Andoid---
---6P VS 950 XL---

Windows phones still don't have the apps. Now it's trying to run Android Apps. I say get the 6P. I'm really looking at getting a 6P as my work phone. Either that, or an iPhone 6s Plus

 

[rafal soboczynski]

build quality is not bad on 950, but the design is pretty plain and boring.

 

[pseudoware]

I comtemplated this, thought of getting both. I've owned three Windows Phones and am due for a 4th



With Surface Phone rumors already out there, I'm holding off, for now. Really nice looking device, though. Getting a used one in a couple month is still a possibilty.
