Want the Microsoft Lumia 950 XL? If you live in the U.S., the only place you are going to find the phone is the Microsoft Store. Apparently, the powers that be at Microsoft felt that the more expensive 950 XL would be a harder sale for the carriers to make, than the Microsoft Lumia 950. The latter is available in the states exclusively from AT&T.
Microsoft is now accepting pre-orders for the Lumia 950 XL in the U.S. Priced at $649, the unlocked unit is offered in black and white, and will start shipping on November 25th.
The Microsoft Lumia 950 XL features a 5.7-inch AMOLED screen, carrying a 1440 x 2560 resolution. That works out to a pixel density of 515ppi. Under the hood you'll find the Snapdragon 810 SoC, which contains an octa-core 2.0GHz CPU and the Adreno 430 GPU. 3GB of RAM is inside, along with 32GB of expandable internal storage.
A 20MP camera graces the rear of the phone, with an aperture of f/1.9. The rear camera also features OIS. A Tricolor flash is included to help you take photos in the dark, and the 5MP front-facing camera handles selfies and video chats. Keeping the lights on is a 3340mAh battery, and Windows Phone 10 Mobile is pre-installed.
