Microsoft Lumia 950 XL crams in a 5.7-inch AMOLED display with a resolution of 2560 x 1440 pixels and pixel density of 518 ppi – compared to the Full HD IPS display of its rival. The screen is protected by tough Gorilla Glass 4.

Camera and Storage

Microsoft Lumia 950 XL features impressive cameras similar to those on the Lumia 950. On the rear is a 20-megapixel snapper with a Carl Zeiss lens. The camera has triple LED flash for more natural-looking images as well as optical image stabilisation and dedicated camera button.

You can shoot 4K videos at 30 fps with the primary snapper. The selfie shooter uses a 5-megapixel sensor which should serve up awesome shots. Like its smaller sibling, Microsoft Lumia 950 XL will have 32GB onboard storage, expandable up to 2 TB with a microSD card.
