"Nokia 950": characteristics and customer reviews

"Nokia 950" is a novelty of 2015, which boasts excellent features complete with innovative technologies. The smartphone runs on Windows 10, for more details about its features and customer reviews read on.

Appearance

The design of the Nokia 950 is rather modest, it can be said, standard - a rectangular plastic polycarbonate body with rounded edges, in white or black. The smartphone is lightweight, slim (8.3 mm) and moderately large -14.5 cm high and 7.3 cm wide, making it comfortable to fit into the palm of your hand or pocket of trousers.

There are all the standard physical buttons characteristic of Nokia (volume, unlock, camera shutter) and a standard headphone jack on the top of the smartphone.

The back cover is easily removed and opens access to the memory card, battery and nano SIM card.

And for charging a new USB-C cable is used, the corresponding connector for it is located on the bottom end.

Display

The 5.2-inch AMOLED screen is protected by Gorilla Glass 3 and boasts an impressive resolution of the new quad HD format - 2560 pixels at 1440, with a pixel density of 564 inches and a 16: 9 aspect ratio. Predictably, the display gives a stunning image, but to a complete ideal It does not hold out - the brightness level is slightly worse than the latest models of Apple and Samsung.

Despite this, in the sunlight, you can still use the Nokia 950 with ease.

The model has a screensaver showing the clock and alerts, without the need to unlock the smartphone, as well as one-hand control mode - when the active screen area is reduced by half. Thanks to this it is convenient to work with one hand.

Filling the smartphone "Nokia 950"

The characteristics will satisfy the needs of even the most demanding user:

• Processor Snapdragon 808 - 6 cores, 1.82 GHz;
• Built-in video card Adreno 418;
• RAM - 3 GB;
• Internal memory - 32 GB;
• The possibility of increasing the memory - up to 200 GB.

All this is powered by a powerful 3000 mA battery. The charge is enough for a day of standard use, and the new cable allows you to reduce the charging time to just 1.5 hours (from 0 to 100%).

The model supports all necessary communication protocols (WiFi, NFC, Bluetooth), as well as 4G and GPS.

New cool features

One of the most interesting options for a smartphone is Windows Hello - unlocking a smartphone by scanning the retina. And photos or even blood relatives can not deceive the system - the smartphone recognizes the trick and asks for a PIN. In truth, it takes a little bit longer than scanning a fingerprint, but, you see, it's impressive.

The option Continuum represents a new look at working with documents. Now you can use your smartphone instead of a desktop computer and use a special device (Display Dock) to connect to it a monitor or TV, mouse and keyboard. Now your workplace can be anywhere and its main element loosely fits in your pocket.

Two versions

Simultaneously with the "Nokia 950" was announced the model "Nokia 950 XL". From the usual, it features a large 5.7-inch display, a Snapdragon 810 processor and a liquid cooling system that prevents the case from overheating, evenly distributing heat from the processor across all areas of the back cover.

Photo and video

The smartphone is equipped with two cameras - front (5 MP) and a powerful main (20 MP with LED flash).

Under normal lighting, it is easy to get bright quality images with correct color rendering. But autoexposure works inaccurately, often a good result can be achieved only at the second attempt, which is not always convenient to do.

In the application for working with the camera - Microsoft Camera - there are many convenient settings and modes that are not only among competitors, but were included in the earlier application of the brand Lumia Camera 5.0.

As for the video, the camera can shoot it in 4K resolution - 2160 pixels, 30 frames per second. But the result is also of different quality due to a problematic auto exposure.

Customer's opinion

The novelty quickly appeared first reviews - the fans of the brand waited for it with impatience. To view it from all sides, you can easily find on the "Nokia 950" video review from one of the major electronics stores.

Approximate price for a smartphone is about 45 thousand rubles. Is he really worth that kind of money? What do customers think about Nokia's Lumiya 950? Reviews for her are often positive. This is a very good, but not perfect smartphone. It has a beautiful bright screen, a large amount of internal memory, an elegant and convenient OS. The latter is a little damp, which causes minor disruptions, but since updates regularly appear to it, it does not cause any appreciable inconvenience.

What can not be said about the limited number of applications - yes, their number is growing rapidly, but even in the long term it will not soon be equal to the number of applications for Android or iOS.

The battery easily can withstand the day of work and is very quickly charged.

But many buyers noticed a significant heating of the smartphone for a long (more than half an hour) work.

Also to the disadvantages can be attributed such an important parameter as the quality of calls. The interlocutor is audible with a small echo, when going into hands-free mode, the sound deteriorates significantly (and the interlocutor immediately realizes that you are busy not only with a call).

The camera works with most users, with poor lighting, the images are processed a little longer, but in general it is a good alternative to a separate compact digital camera, especially in everyday life.

Summing up

"Nokia 950" is a smartphone that fully justifies its value. If you are not embarrassed by possible inconveniences in the form of missing some applications, then it is unlikely to disappoint you.
