Positioned to answer the need of large mobile phones today, the Lumia 950 XL has a 5.7-inch QHD AMOLED display with ClearBlack technology. Not only that, it also has a 20-megapixel PureView camera with Carl Zeiss optics and OIS plus triple-LED flash to help you take better photos and videos. The selfie camera, a 5-megapixel shooter, also has its own LED flash to light up faces in the dark.

And you didn’t mention that Lumia 950 and 950 XL have also an “Iris Scanner” a part of “Windows Hello” (Iris Scanner, Face Recognition, Fingerprint Scanner) authentication security just like Apple iPhone “Touch ID’s” “Fingerprint Sensor”. Iris Scanner can also work even wearing sunglasses in the dark. P30,200 without Microsoft Display Dock for Continuum Support while P33,200 with Display Dock.
