There's also a 5 MP front-facing 1080p camera on the device. So far, I haven't noticed that the device takes noticeably better photos than my Icon does. The rear-facing 20 MP PureView camera with ZEISS optics on the 950 takes good photos, including low-light photos. Connecting to wi-fi is a lot quicker and more reliable than it is on my Icon (which I've also been using on wi-fi when I've been able to get on here in the U.K.). The screen on this phone is really great for reading, with a 2560X1440 resolution. The backs (which come in white or black) are replaceable and some nicer-looking cases are already available from third party providers. Being a Lumia Icon user who was more than willing to trade a metal body for a lighter phone, I am fine with polycarbonate. It's not a metal phone it's got polycarbonate casing which feels a bit plasticky. The 950 is a 5.2-inch phone with a Snapdragon 808 processor inside. Microsoft is positioning the new handsets as phones for those of us in the 1.5 percent who are still Windows Phone fans, both consumers and business users. The Lumia 950, along with the coming Lumia 950 XL, are Microsoft's first new 'flagship' phones in roughly two years. But I thought I'd provide a quick first look, with a more detailed post in a week or so. this week, I haven't had a chance to do a lot of typical real-life use with the device, and have only used it on wi-fi. I've had one of these new loaner phones in hand for the past three days, courtesy of Microsoft. Today, Microsoft's Lumia 950 smartphone goes on sale at AT&T in the U.S.
