The fact of the matter is that it is the most powerful among the two, as well as running Windows 10 Mobile. Its display measures 5.7 inches with a resolution of 1440 x 2560 pixels and is protected by Corning Gorilla Glass 4. The Lumia 950 XL was powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 810 chipset, featuring an octa-core CPU and paired with 3 GB of RAM. It came with 32 GB of internal storage, expandable via a microSD card slot. It had a 20 MP primary camera with pure touch optics, HDR, optical image stabilization, and three-tone flash and could also shoot in 4K resolution. Its 5 MP front camera could record in 1080p. The connectivity options include USB Type-C, NFC, Bluetooth 4.1, and dual-band Wi-Fi. The 950 XL also supports Microsoft Continuum, giving the user a desktop-like experience by hooking the device to an external monitor. The iris scanner allows for secure biometric access. A larger 3340 mAh battery, which was removable, supports fast charging with an option for Qi wireless charging. In spite of the great features, Microsoft had to stop the productions, as the company shifted away from the smartphone market.
