Pros
*Irish scanner is fun
*Latest Windows 10 build makes it smooth
*Excellent camera and display
*Plastic body though not premium, makes it light and grippy to hold.
*Liquid cooling keeps it relatively cool even while performing heavy task, though it gets somewhat warm because of Snapdragon 810
*USB type C for future proofing
Cons
*Less apps
*Not waterproof

Overall a good package at the price point. Windows 10 Mobile updates recommended for the best user experience(Since previous updates are buggy).
Pros:-
1. Great Camera(Both Front and Rear).
2. Awesome Display.
3. Good Battery Life(Specially after the updates).
4. Nice Speakers(A bit tinny but loud n clear), headphone quality is OK (default ones WH-308).
5. Fast and Responsive (Specially after the updates).
6. Good Iris Scanning(Little slow since in beta version).
7. Windows 10 Mobile way more responsive now(Specially after the updates).
Cons:-
1. Heating Issue.(Nothing to do about it since its running Snapdragon 810 which is renowned for overheating issues).
2. The Famous "Lack Of Apps". But not a very big issue since daily drivers are available apart from the Google specific ones.
Battery backup is average. Lasts a full day on moderate usage.
Software Updates are strictly recommended since all the factors like battery, OS responsiveness, better multitasking and many more features(Double tap to wake, Firmware fixes) are dependent on it.

Have bought from Flipkart around 15 days back and it was quick delivery from Flipkart. 5 stars for that
Lumia 950XL is great phone. Have been using Lumia 920 since 2013.
Amazing Camera. I would say best in current market in any phones
Good Battery Life
Brilliant Display
Amazing Performance.
Windows Hello is good
Great Sound Quality
I would say at this price of 34990 this is worth
I did not got dock with my phone as offer ended in June so I haven't used Continum. So cant say about that.

I have been using the Lumia phones since 2013 and this was my 4th one: to start with: there is only one cons to Lumia series and that is apps, because they come late then the Android and IOS phones.apart from that, there is no other superior phone then lumia series because it is virus free, hell yeah!!! people think its windows so it might be prone to viruses, but please enter the world of widows phone and you will realize you just had false perception.
As heating is quite common in the present generation of phones, 950 XL got liquid cooling in the phone to keep the phone cool as Snapdragon 810 was quite infamous for the heating issue.
Camera: Its always been the best part of Lumia series with Nokia and Microsoft kept it, so in this case as well it rocks, with 950 XL the focus is faster capture is faster, not as fast as iPhone and other android phones but yes it does deliver superb quality and color reproduction and we have the option of raw images.
Office software: its just like a PC, word,Excel, Power point you can make, edit, and present.
Then comes the Continuum: thats something which is a wow factor, because all you have to do is connect your phone to display dock and connect that display dock to any screen which supports HDMI port. Then just connect a keyboard and a mouse and Voila!!! you got yourself a PC.
Cortana has evolved more with time and and her replies are quite a wit.
For me its a great phone, people go after android and iOS, have never tried windows and possibly they never can. )

phone is best high end phone i have used, a perfect professional device.
a mobile phone user needs few basic thing like camera, network, gaming, and watching video, few use it for reading and professional word like making power point presentation etc.
1. Coming to phone the network reception is excellent as expected from high end device,
2. The device has plastic body which is strong and the design could have been better but it look sturdy with crystal clear display.
3. coming to camera - lumia phone camera are best in there segment and 950xl is no exception, it beats any mobile camera and can compete with dslr's at times
4. games are less as compared to android but yes all the top game is available
5. all format of video can be played
6. no issue with pdf file and chm for reading
7. ppt can easily b prepared or edited and presented the best part is continuum with display dock
yes i received display dock for free which took over 1 month to be delivered after i registered on getdock dot in
heating issue no longer exist after recent update

I bought the phone @ 35k. Absolutely good value for money. Apart from small heating problem which can be minimized by a hard reset, it's an awesome phone. I have never seen such brilliant photo and video quality in any other phone. Photos captured by the phone can compete with high end camera. 4k video recording is amazing. OS is smooth as the case with every Windows phone. Sound quality is good. Battery is average as most of the high end devices. If u are some one interested in photography, it will be an asset for you.

Best Windows Phone one can get!
Raj Ranjan Rout (May 20, 2019)
on Flipkart
Reviewing after 7 days of use.
Bought a Note 5 for my wife in January and was pretty inclined to buy one for myself too. But being a Windows Phone user since past 4 years (lumia 720 and 830), who just loves the concept of Metro UI with live tiles, I couldn't still switch to Android, considering this is my first flagship phone in any OS category.
So, here are the positives:
- Iris Scanner / Windows Hello (one of a kind, it's fast too!)
- Free Display Dock with Office 365 personal Subscription for a year!
- USB Type C charger for fast charging
- Wireless Charging back cover which is of course, removable
- DUAL SIM (in a flagship phone is a huge add-on!)
- The Camera - amazing clarity with 4k as well as Slow-Mo video recording.
- Cortana - Fully featured personal assistant as good as, or even better than Siri!
- Liquid Cooling feature - Doesn't mean it doesn't get heated at all, but it's better compared to all other phones carrying the same processor even with moderate usage
- Windows 10 UI makes it look so much cooler provided the tiles are arranged smartly
- Sound output quality - is Awesome!
- Dedicated Camera button
-
Cons:
- Plastic back cover - Lacks that premium feel, however, get Mojo leather wireless charging back covers for 3k :( and that'll make it look more premium than anything you've held before
- Volume Rocker button placement - Not convenient for me at least.
- Battery Consumption - While it's a large battery, it does tend to get drained pretty fast. It was worse when I got the phone, but it seems to have improved a bit now that I've started using the battery saver and battery consumption feature.
- No 'Double Tap to Wake' feature - Something that I loved in my previous lumia phones
- Apps - Although most of what we need is there, you probably will still manage to find something useful missing. For example, all my mobile banking apps are there, however, some add-on bank apps for the same banks are missing.Same goes for few unique corporate apps as well that can help with with your work. Few apps' performance might not be up to the mark as well.
- Bluetooth issues - I'm facing some playback issues through Bluetooth when I connect the phone with a Pioneer system in my car. Sometimes the tracks get skipped which is annoying. I never faced any playback issues with the other lumias before. If it's a problem with just my phone, then maybe I've to get it replaced. Looking for solutions till then.
So yeah, barring the bluetooth issues that I'm facing with my phone and lack of certain apps, I'm pretty much happy with everything else and would recommend it to win 10 lovers!

Nice phone and value for money, but not without issues
Sushruth M R (May 14, 2019)
on Flipkart
I bought this after the huge price drop to 34999. I have been a windows phone user for over 3 years now.
Pros:
1. Windows 10 is excellent. User friendly and lot of cool features which you don't get in android or iOS devices. (I have used both)
2. Display dock (worth Rs. 5000) and 1 year office 365 subscription (Rs. 3000) comes free with this.
3. Device is powerful. Most applications work very well.
4. Office is very useful. This phone is made for business people.
5. Camera is excellent. You can shoot 4 K videos.
6. Iris scan is fun. But guzzles battery like anything.
7. Display is excellent. Very comfortable to read small text.
8. USB-C type.
Cons: 2 major issue - battery life and heating.
1. Battery life is terrible. Even with NFC, Bluetooth etc off can barely make it till evening after a full charge in the morning. (I heard there is going to be an update to address this issue). This is without playing any games or watching videos. Just normal usage of WhatsApp, browsing on wifi, voice calls etc.
2. Sometimes windows 10 OS seems buggy. Hangs or stops responding all of a sudden. Nothing a simple restart can't solve.
3. Heating issue is a big drawback in my opinion. Phone gets too hot sometimes even when I'm not using it. (probably because of auto update)
4. Phone is not a beauty, plastic body makes it look quite ordinary. (for those who expect premium look for 35 K)
Verdict: Go for it if you like windows phone. This is the best windows phone till date and its not going to be outdated any time soon. It's a very good deal for 35K with present offers of free display dock and office 365 subscription.

Wonderful.Almost all wanted applications available
SOJAN K V (Jun 28, 2019)

Windows 10 OS is really nice . Only thing is that we have to get accustomed to use it because many of the options are to be deeply explored.software is so light and faster than ANDROID. Dial pad is so fast and wonderful . Messaging is superior to all other OS es.None can defeat this camera , so fast and clear images. Totally nice.

I have been using this phone for about more than a year now and here is my Honest Opinion about this piece of Technology.
VERDICT
With a superb camera, lovely screen and smooth performance, the Lumia 950 XL is an easy sell for the Windows faithful. But with few apps, many areas in need of polish and inconsistent battery life, it isn't for everyone.
PROS
Expendable Memory Slot
Great Screen (2K Amoled Clear Black)
Fantastic camera
Strong performance
CONS
Average Build Quality
Inconsistent battery life
Lack of quality apps
Many bugs still present

Excellent Phone but Heats up a lot
Disha Consulting (Jun 11, 2019)
on Flipkart
This is a great phone with respect to performance and design and ease of use. Only issue is it heats up significantly even when just kept on. The liquid cooling seems to be not working. I read other reviews that only when put to heavy usage this phone would be heating up, even though not in use and in idle mode the phone is heating up.
Flipkart has been most unprofessional. they did not deliver this on time and infarct i cancelled the order but post cancellation the next day they were at home with the product. so I thought of accepting and checking. If this heat issue continues, I may ask for replacement of the product or return.
