Yes, my last on lasted 7 yrs.Felt bereft without it and I didn t know you could still buy them online so i bought a different one, a Samsung, and just couldn t adapt.Then I took a chance and bought a refurbished one online ,and went on contract with tesco mobile with it,it lasted 4 yrs. Finally now in feb 2022 i ve just ordered a Lumia 950.Looking forward to it arriving!!
I just wish that they bring back windows phone. Not as a flagship or flagship killers and all. Just a windows phone for enthusiasts. Im still using Lumia 950xl😍
WP is absolutely good than android or ios. Is smooth until is dead, 5 year running without slowing down on casual usage. Is different with android, which slowing down overtime just for casual usage. I miss them, and hope windows arm will succeed.
Lumia Phones It is a beautiful story and it stays in my memory from the experience of the Lumia 950 XL. It is the best and best phone I have bought in my life and still I have it and I still use it, but I was shocked when Microsoft announced that it will stop support for phones and stop some applications such as WhatsApp and Instagram. That didn't stop me.I still use it and enjoy its great photography
Did you see the settings were complicated? Windows settings are a total breath of fresh air. On the iPhone setting things up is a nightmare, not on WP.
Well, you are probably right but it took me 5 minutes to find the windows hello settings and the search bar wasn’t helping at all. I am not a smart guy after all. The settings are looking clean though. In comparison Apple’s settings getting worse and worse the more features they are putting into the iPhones but at least the pull-down search is really fast and helpful.
@@TheIdeaofTechnology Yes, somehow search does not work in Windows settings (does not work on a PC too). But the tree structure is very straightforward. Also they keep app-settings where they belong, in the apps, whereas with iOS those settings are all added to the main settings. Why do I need to leave the camera app to change a resolution or framerate?
@@TheIdeaofTechnology Cortana and Hello have been deprecated on Windows 10 Mobile. Don't confuse the dying functionality of the OS today with what it was 3 years ago.
If Microsoft releases new windows phones at a decent price with decent features like good camera, replaceable battery and HEADPHONE JACK , I think it’ll become popular. I’d be in line to get one right away , wish I would have got one when they were around, they sound and look awesome. I think business would really benefit from this phone especially now , it’s 1000x better than blackberry. Also... this channel is great , such descriptive and well made videos, this is this first video I watched and I am hooked ! I subbed !
Thanks for your comment and sub. You are right. If Microsoft would focus on the enduser voice and the features so many want they could bring back a really great phone.
These phones were so good.. A lot of different models to choose from. If only more apps would have been released. I really wish windows wouldn't have gave up on this project. (Also I thought the same thing as I watching your video. This looks so much like iOS14! The app library etc..)
I ditched Android for Windows Phone back in July 2016 with the Nokia Lumia 830. Upgraded to a Lumia 950 XL in October 2018 and a Lumia 950 in September 2020 and I still love using Windows Phone as my daily driver to this day. Sure that the OS has died and a lot of popular apps aren't available on Microsoft Store, but I have everything that I need for my daily use and that is more than good enough for me. Plus, the 20MP PureView camera can still challenge todays' software-focused smartphones.
This video made me take my old loved Lumia 950 and power it on. It's still amazing phone compared to any Android phone I had. I wish Windows Phone is back :-(
I had a Nokia Lumia 520 for a mong time. I remember installing the first preview of Windows 10 Mobile on it, and 2 days after i broke it I went on a Microsoft Lumia 535 but stayed on Windows Phone 8.1, and i was in love with the OS, but the lack of developing was annoying. But thanks to Rudy Huyn, the creator of the 6 apps (6insta, 6snap...), it was enjoyable, until Snap forbid his app. But i broke that phone too, and went on Android.. So i never got to really use Windows 10 Mobile, but i remember that Microsoft had a preview of Windows 10 mobile that could run Android, but it got removed on final version...
I now use the Pixel 3 XL. But my Lumia 950 XL is never too far from reach 😂. I keep it as a secondary phone, I even managed to dual boot it with windows 10 on ARM.
@@NarinderxBali Honestly, It's not all that useful I find. The battery lasts less than an hour, the battery usage is so high that even plugged in it will take a while to charge up. The performance is OK, just a bit slower than 10 mobile. I couldn't get the new Microsoft Edge to work, Bluetooth works but audio devices don't. My opinion is that it's a lot of work to install, but not a lot of reward.
The cortana integration was great. I loved being able to sit in my car and tell her to play a song or an album that was on my device. Google just tries to open TH-cam lol.
@@Music.Studio22 I had many nokia Lumia phones.. last one was lumia 640 XL. Even I wanted to continue with that phone but Microsoft drops it support. Now I m using Nokia 7 plus and Nokia 7.2. but I must say Nokia Lumia series was truly classic... Even my Lumia 520 was much better. 😭 950 XL was very very expensive...
Ah the days on the windows phone.... I do miss them dearly. I still have my Lumia 1020 Yellow of course, my Lumia 950 XL, I believe also a Lumia 920 after my old Lumia 800 gave up the ghost. I also had an HTC Titan which sadly was the worst of them all, gorgeous phone but so many dead pixels from day one and on so many when I went to get it replaced. I ended up getting the Black Lumia 800 as the replacement, which I luckily was also able to claim the free £200 Monster headphones which I also still have and love! Although the fake leather bit had come off of the ear cushions 😔. But truly truly miss windows phone 7 and what became windows 10 phone I believe which doesn't sound so great personally.
I hope Windows Phone comes back. But this time they give their users more customization options like installing launchers etc. And they care feedbacks from their customers
I hated moving on from my Lumia 950XL such an amazing phone. I still have mine with a display dock and am so tempted to take a giant leap backwards to it. When my banking app for it stopped being supported it was a pain but I used edge for a while then eventually I couldn't access my online banking with edge either and at that point I figured I better move on. When you can't do the basic stuff we all use our devices for it just isn't worth it to cling to the old tech. Just can't bring myself to get rid of it yet though. Honestly kind of tempted to see if I can dock it and stream Geforce Now through it and some of the other streaming services just for fun. Thanks for the video!
It really is a shame that MS decided to let it go. Far ahead of its time and featuring very powerful hardware as well as useable software. Some of my friends were using it "back in the day" ;) I was blown away by the speed and the camera quality. At that time I used a Lumia 630 - due to certain circumstances and a very attractive price tag of 57 € - and I was trying to decide whether to get the 950 or the 950xl when Microsoft announced the discontinuation of the series. I was very disappointed to say the least and had a hard time choosing an alternative. The lifestyle solutions produced by apple were (and are) no alternative for me. So I chose Android and Sony and ended up feeling quite at home, but I still miss a lot of things about the Lumia series...
It's a shame that the Windows Phone failed. It was a really great phone, way ahead of it's time. Probably failed due to lack of marketing and stores not having it on display, and the few that did had them in a back corner. Wasn't enough users for app developers to be willing to take the time to develop apps for it. One thing not mentioned in this video was the ability to connect USB devices. I had a USB hub that I plugged into mine, and everything I've plugged into it from external hard drives, printers, disc drives, game controllers, typing keyboards, midi keyboard worked with FL Studio, and even a mouse worked. Actually still a decent phone to use today for basic use, especially for people who don't like having 50+ apps installed.
They won't. Microsoft has moved onto making an Android flagship folding phone. www.microsoft.com/en-us/surface/devices/surface-duo?activetab=overview&&ef_id=Cj0KCQjwy8f6BRC7ARIsAPIXOjimSr3Q4FcyCNOQP3ccYMcGPvQ5OJG_iu6_mbmEJrmRB0myZtJB96UaAjEXEALw_wcB:G:s&s_kwcid=AL!4249!3!455586421838!b!!g!!%2Bmicrosoft%20%2Bphone&ef_id=Cj0KCQjwy8f6BRC7ARIsAPIXOjimSr3Q4FcyCNOQP3ccYMcGPvQ5OJG_iu6_mbmEJrmRB0myZtJB96UaAjEXEALw_wcB:G:s&OCID=AID2100839_SEM_Cj0KCQjwy8f6BRC7ARIsAPIXOjimSr3Q4FcyCNOQP3ccYMcGPvQ5OJG_iu6_mbmEJrmRB0myZtJB96UaAjEXEALw_wcB:G:s
Had to dust off my HTC One X Windows phone when my iPhone 7 Plus finally died. Still a great product. Will be my phone until my new iPhone arrives in a few days. Nostalgia mode activated.
nokia lumia 730 was a beast phone hands down. and the fantasia painter application was insanely the best app i ever used till this day. i haven't found any app similar to fantasia painter.
If only facebook, messenger, instagram and whatsapp continued working I could still be using windows phone till now (lumia 950xl). Heck battery was OK. Map was usable without wifi. Edge was easy to use because the browser bar was easy to reach
I'm still using my Lumia 950 and will until it completely fails. It is comparatively so much better than anything out there other than a modern flagship; but they don't have removeable batteries or Windows OS, so I'm sticking with it until the bitter end. But then, I also said that about my Tungsten W, Treo 600 and Palm Pre, lolz.....
Thank you so much for this video, it was really spot on with my nostalgia! I loved Windows Phone and Windows Mobile and seriously hope we can get it back. Maybe support for Android apps would help solve the app issue...
I loved my Windows Phone, I think we all loved our Windows phones. I was never bothered about the lack of apps, but, a few key apps being pulled like Whatsapp, and the fact Google screwed WP making things like TH-cam unplayable meant it was difficult to dedicate long term loyalty to WP, I use Android now and I hate it, but it is convenient.
Well I used Lumia 640 LTE as main phone from 2016 until early 2020 when it's battery died because of over heating. At the same time I also used Motorola Moto G 2012 only as my secondary device it also died because of over heating. Luckily I still have it today so if I want to I can restore it but only for making phone call, sms, email, editing Word file and for listening to music. So sad Windows Phone died as a platform I really love it and still does to this day.
Since I got a Lumia as my first smartphone I really liked the home screen of these devices. I mean you didn't get app icons on the home screen instead only widgets which flipped with live information. Android still can't do that I guess. App store sucked tho.
Great review thanks 😊 I've just bought the Nokia lumia 930 just for the camera really, for £20 pound it is worth it i hope. Update. Sold my Nokia lumia 930 for £45 pounds and bought a microsoft lumia 950 for £30 pounds, got a bargain 👍 😀
Size of the phone is cool, camera is ok depending on light conditions - in full sun you'll get good effect in general. CPU and 3GB of RAM should be good here but the performance is very very poor. Older lumia 1520 or 1320 with Win8.1 with lower specs work definitely much better
My daily driver is still the 950. But it is time to move on because Edge isn't displaying many web pages correctly, also ATT alerted me that they will be cutting me off December 2021. So I'll be moving to a Galaxy S10e soon mainly because it is similar in size and weight to the Lumia 950, also it has a 3.5 headphone jack. I have used Androids before, but it will be strange to no longer be using Windows Phone. I've been with the Windows Phone since 2012.
You won't be to far off. Not sure if the s10E has it. But most Note and S series have similar to Continuum called Dex. Besides the phones normal UI based Android. Dex basically gives you a Windows-like UI of Android OS. So it'll feel almost similar to Windows Contiuum, Expect Android.
Es más, estoy considerando tener uno y convertirlo en mi segundo equipo, tiene buenas especificaciones y para mi es suficiente si Telegram trabaja, el resto es añadido, qué opinas?
R u guys facing any battery draining problem? I bought 950 few days ago at a price of 50 dollar bt the battery is really bad. Standby time is ok bt whenver i use it as a wifi hotspot and click some pictures the battery is lasted for like 2 hours
@@mikevanvolkenburgh5348 bt i have checked this issue on google and plethora or users are facing this kinda issue and my phone gets heatup as well in just 10 to 15 minutes of use
Had a 950XL and yeah, it had a few issues...but I loved the device and the OS - nothing comes close to Windows Phone OS even now for slickness and general usability. App support killed them though - even had wireless charging at the time!
I hate that windows phone isn't supported anymore. i think it had the best os ever that existed on phones. android can be very slow at times and my cheap nokia lumia 610 was pretty fast, it feels faster to use than the newer phones i have with android
@@ankitpandey8435 it is almost imposible to run right i have it try on my old tablet he din't go well burn my procesor for 10 min work!Also windows OS for phone is no good it work fast bud you don't have many apps like IOS or Android!
still have the lumia 640xl and 950.both great, however the battery on the 950 does not last as long as the 640xl, but both are great for their age.excellent review..October 2020 her in the uk....cheers, H6ukvet.
I have the same two phones..I bought a new battery for my 950, now my 640xl is taking too long to charge. May have to see if so can find a replacement battery. So much enjoyment using these phones
One question... There's still some stock available for Microsoft phones, should I buy it in 2020 November? Please help. I'm planning to buy a new phone and I don't wanna use Android anymore.
TBH windows phone can really compete with android, imagine only 512mb ram windows phone can work smoothly unlike android, the only problem they stop it because lack of developers 🥲 i missed my windows phone
I have the Idol 4S win 10 still, runs fine, but no usable apps. Camera is great and takes 4k videos too. Well it does have the apps most need like Word, Excel, PowerPoint and Note. But no WhatsApp. Facebook always crashes or takes for ever, so I use SlimSocial works great.
Hello. i am trying to update my lumia 730 from a week now, but otc servers are down. anyone know when otc server will up again, i want to update my lumia 730 to windows 10.
It was my second windows Phone but it had many problems when it was new, made a noise constantly and was always rebooting or shutting off completely, otherwise i really liked it, but it returned after 5 days because it wasnt reliable
Hmm because Microsoft Windows 10 on ARM devices exists & is getting better it is possible to put it on a Phone. The Microsoft DUO maybe the device that could port Windows 10 on ARMS on it. Microsoft however wanted The phone in the Duo to have no Apps gap so they went Android. Microsoft does not realize there is a market for a Duo that Runs Windows 10 on ARMS that has a built in non smart phone in it. this phone would just be used to send & receive a voice calls & have few Apps. I always wanted an 7 or 8 inch Tablet with Continuum software in it so I could hook it up to a Microsoft monitor & do some work or play games or watch a video.
It's not a matter of chipset or performance. The developer won't make apps for windows OS. If the developer don't make apps, no one would buy the phone.
sir i wanted to have windows phone os on my android tab with 2gb ram and 16gb rom include root access,pls tell me any way to make it possible and to get that os of lumia on my tab.....
Due to the fact that the OS is no longer supported I can only give you a clear NO. Just go for a midrange Android device and use the Windows inspired themes you can get there. Probably there are so many good phones for a decent price out there. Like Samsung, OnePlus, Oppo, Huawei or Poco.
It all depends on the price and your needs. If you just want a phone with a camera that still beats the crap out of an iPhone 11 Pro, Galaxy S20 or a WoeWaai P40, go ahead, you will have a fantastic camera phone for like what, the cost of 10 beers? The calls, the texting, the user experience: all amazing quality. If you are an iSheep, that needs to be in every app and privacy denying wallet trashing online narcissism/shopping/service/media platform, forget it, this will not work. I use a 950XL as daily driver, and I still love it today. Telegram is my privacy friendly Whatsapp alternative, still in active development as the API is open to active developers, and all other digital stuff I do on a desktop.
people didnt realise how advanced microsoft phones were.... they had wireless charging nfc and tap to pay and usb c -> with the option to run it to a monitor as a laptop..

I loved Windows Phone and Windows Mobile and seriously hope we can get it back. Maybe support for Android apps would help solve the app issue...
I loved my Windows Phone, I think we all loved our Windows phones. I was never bothered about the lack of apps, but, a few key apps being pulled like Whatsapp, and the fact Google screwed WP making things like TH-cam unplayable meant it was difficult to dedicate long term loyalty to WP, I use Android now and I hate it, but it is convenient.
could the nokia xr2 be similar?
I got 635, 650, 930 and 950 as well. All are working.
I love windows phone, but i can't find windows phone now a day,
True wp are like iPhone even if you turn on a 10 years model it will work exactly as the first time.
Well I used Lumia 640 LTE as main phone from 2016 until early 2020 when it's battery died because of over heating. At the same time I also used Motorola Moto G 2012 only as my secondary device it also died because of over heating.
Luckily I still have it today so if I want to I can restore it but only for making phone call, sms, email, editing Word file and for listening to music. So sad Windows Phone died as a platform I really love it and still does to this day.
the 950 would be the ultimate phone if the win 10 arm could fully use the cpu, if the developers made progress, I'll add the phone to my collection
Since I got a Lumia as my first smartphone I really liked the home screen of these devices. I mean you didn't get app icons on the home screen instead only widgets which flipped with live information. Android still can't do that I guess. App store sucked tho.
Great review thanks 😊 I've just bought the Nokia lumia 930 just for the camera really, for £20 pound it is worth it i hope. Update.
Sold my Nokia lumia 930 for £45 pounds and bought a microsoft lumia 950 for £30 pounds, got a bargain 👍 😀
I just love this phone. I have 950xl.❤👍
Size of the phone is cool, camera is ok depending on light conditions - in full sun you'll get good effect in general. CPU and 3GB of RAM should be good here but the performance is very very poor. Older lumia 1520 or 1320 with Win8.1 with lower specs work definitely much better
Damn I miss windows phones. That dark UI was clean!
I bought one 3 years ago and I think it was an amazing phone
Great video!!! I miss my 950 😪❤️
I still use it now as a secondary phone 😊
I'm using a Microsoft Lumia 540...still working fine and quite secure
My daily driver is still the 950. But it is time to move on because Edge isn't displaying many web pages correctly, also ATT alerted me that they will be cutting me off December 2021. So I'll be moving to a Galaxy S10e soon mainly because it is similar in size and weight to the Lumia 950, also it has a 3.5 headphone jack. I have used Androids before, but it will be strange to no longer be using Windows Phone. I've been with the Windows Phone since 2012.
You won't be to far off. Not sure if the s10E has it. But most Note and S series have similar to Continuum called Dex. Besides the phones normal UI based Android. Dex basically gives you a Windows-like UI of Android OS. So it'll feel almost similar to Windows Contiuum, Expect Android.
I'm still using lumia 640 as a my secondary device..
Lumia 950 fue un Smart phone adelantado para su época. La mayoría de especificaciones fueron la ventana al futuro del resto de los Smart phones de hoy
Es más, estoy considerando tener uno y convertirlo en mi segundo equipo, tiene buenas especificaciones y para mi es suficiente si Telegram trabaja, el resto es añadido, qué opinas?
windows 10 + windows phone = Perfect
Thanks for your video pal🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻🥰🥰🥰
I always miss nokia Lumia, love it
i looooooove these devise so much i hope Microsoft to go back and produce devices
I use Nexus6 for 5 year... i find a forgotten opened box Lumia 950xl for 70€ and plan to buy...
what happens with my windows ten phone after 2020?
I hope someday WP metro UI can be replicated in Android, it's so clean, fast and very functional
Today I still use Lumia 950 as my second mobile. Sometimes I also use a Display Dock HD-500 to connect the phone to monitor, etc
Can you still download apps from the store on the 950?
@@SimpletonGaming Hasn't tried in a long time. All apps I need is on phone available.
I have lumia 950 updated it to the latest version . Iam having a prob when I open camera swith off automatically even boot loop occurs pls help 😢
i am still using my Microsoft lumia 950 XL today
Me too yeahhhhhhhh
R u guys facing any battery draining problem? I bought 950 few days ago at a price of 50 dollar bt the battery is really bad. Standby time is ok bt whenver i use it as a wifi hotspot and click some pictures the battery is lasted for like 2 hours
@@unboxeverythingwithkuku you might need a new battery
@@mikevanvolkenburgh5348 bt i have checked this issue on google and plethora or users are facing this kinda issue and my phone gets heatup as well in just 10 to 15 minutes of use
I really want it but in my country so rare to find this phone and now maybe just collector had that phone
Great video 👌 Missing my Lumia 635 i use a launcher for bringing the Windows Phone flavour back to Android. Helps a lot. Greetings from Greece ✌️
Thank you.
My Fav OS Mobile...
Had a 950XL and yeah, it had a few issues...but I loved the device and the OS - nothing comes close to Windows Phone OS even now for slickness and general usability. App support killed them though - even had wireless charging at the time!
I really miss lumia phone
So do i
So.. It was just a mini surface pro with capabilities to make a phone call.
What Was The Price for New And Old?
👍 from India... I have lumia 730... And still using it
Thanks for your comment. Cool that you´re still rocking it!
@@TheIdeaofTechnology 😀

@@matteoclementi no.. I can't play.. and I don't play..👍
Amit Pal that's sad anyways thank you for the attention.
Which one is best Mobile...in windows.under 20,000.. plz suggested me
I hate that windows phone isn't supported anymore. i think it had the best os ever that existed on phones. android can be very slow at times and my cheap nokia lumia 610 was pretty fast, it feels faster to use than the newer phones i have with android
The Phone is still really good i have one and i use it over 2 years!
can u pls suggest me that how i can get that windows phone os on my android device(i have root access)
@@ankitpandey8435 it is almost imposible to run right i have it try on my old tablet he din't go well burn my procesor for 10 min work!Also windows OS for phone is no good it work fast bud you don't have many apps like IOS or Android!
@@myhobbybg3777 OK, thanks for telling and suggesting me.
still have the lumia 640xl and 950.both great, however the battery on the 950 does not last as long as the 640xl, but both are great for their age.excellent review..October 2020 her in the uk....cheers, H6ukvet.
I have the same two phones..I bought a new battery for my 950, now my 640xl is taking too long to charge. May have to see if so can find a replacement battery.
So much enjoyment using these phones
One question... There's still some stock available for Microsoft phones, should I buy it in 2020 November? Please help. I'm planning to buy a new phone and I don't wanna use Android anymore.
Do not buy it. The lack of support and updates are a problem. Go for a mid tier android device with the Microsoft launcher and support for updates.
TBH windows phone can really compete with android, imagine only 512mb ram windows phone can work smoothly unlike android, the only problem they stop it because lack of developers 🥲 i missed my windows phone
I really miss Lumia phones 😭
they should make windows pc layout to their phone dude
I like the animation of windows phone
I have the Idol 4S win 10 still, runs fine, but no usable apps. Camera is great and takes 4k videos too. Well it does have the apps most need like Word, Excel, PowerPoint and Note. But no WhatsApp. Facebook always crashes or takes for ever, so I use SlimSocial works great.
Hello. i am trying to update my lumia 730 from a week now, but otc servers are down. anyone know when otc server will up again, i want to update my lumia 730 to windows 10.
Microsoft really needs to come back 🥹
I feel nostalgic watching this video
I had an lumia 950
I use Microsoft Lumia 540 amazing performance and cammera but now we want again this os
For who want to use telegram, you can use Unigram client on updated Windows 10 (I have ver 1709 on lumia 435, but I think it works from 1520)
I still fire up my Lumia 920 a solid device still runs ok .
I still use windows phone on my Oneplus 6T With a square home 3.0 app (android) look and works 90% similar
I really like my old old Samsung Omnia 7. it was sooooo good 😢
Отличный смартфон, иногда им пользуюсь. Ролик хороший, лайк
Wao very good video and God bless you Brother
The mic of lumia is superior to any modern phone.Concert video recording have powerful bass and crystal clear sound
Loved Lumia 950 XL :'( If it was still alive would it be a market dealer if people dared to try!
If samsung partners with Microsoft for a separate series of phones with Windows OS it will be bang🔥
It was my second windows Phone but it had many problems when it was new, made a noise constantly and was always rebooting or shutting off completely, otherwise i really liked it, but it returned after 5 days because it wasnt reliable
I wish windows mobile hold to september 20 2029 bc it was so awesome R.I.P windows mobile we will miss the windows mobile buddy forever
Hmm because Microsoft Windows 10 on ARM devices exists & is getting better it is possible to put it on a Phone. The Microsoft DUO
maybe the device that could port Windows 10 on ARMS on it. Microsoft however wanted The phone in the Duo to have no Apps gap
so they went Android. Microsoft does not realize there is a market for a Duo that Runs Windows 10 on ARMS that has a built in
non smart phone in it. this phone would just be used to send & receive a voice calls & have few Apps. I always wanted an 7 or 8 inch
Tablet with Continuum software in it so I could hook it up to a Microsoft monitor & do some work or play games or watch a video.
I would love a device like this as well.
The new surface x is ARM and will run win 10, not same as desktop, but close. Theoretically windows arm phones should be able to run same win 10.
It's not a matter of chipset or performance. The developer won't make apps for windows OS. If the developer don't make apps, no one would buy the phone.
sir i wanted to have windows phone os on my android tab with 2gb ram and 16gb rom include root access,pls tell me any way to make it possible and to get that os of lumia on my tab.....
Do you think I should buy it ?
Due to the fact that the OS is no longer supported I can only give you a clear NO. Just go for a midrange Android device and use the Windows inspired themes you can get there. Probably there are so many good phones for a decent price out there. Like Samsung, OnePlus, Oppo, Huawei or Poco.
Thanks
It all depends on the price and your needs. If you just want a phone with a camera that still beats the crap out of an iPhone 11 Pro, Galaxy S20 or a WoeWaai P40, go ahead, you will have a fantastic camera phone for like what, the cost of 10 beers? The calls, the texting, the user experience: all amazing quality. If you are an iSheep, that needs to be in every app and privacy denying wallet trashing online narcissism/shopping/service/media platform, forget it, this will not work. I use a 950XL as daily driver, and I still love it today. Telegram is my privacy friendly Whatsapp alternative, still in active development as the API is open to active developers, and all other digital stuff I do on a desktop.
@@2kBofFun Agreed
Imagine! If windows phone are coming back with tons of updated apps.
Unfortunately WhatsApp ain't support this phone no more, for me WhatsApp is the most important app to communicate in this current era.
Indeed. I just cannoy agree more!!
Mmmmm maybe, for me ultimately is better Telegram.
people didnt realise how advanced microsoft phones were.... they had wireless charging nfc and tap to pay and usb c -> with the option to run it to a monitor as a laptop..
