We've already seen the new Lumia 950 Windows Phone up close, back at Microsoft's New York City launch event. What we haven't seen yet is how well it performs on the big screen.
In addition to the Lumia 950 itself Microsoft has bundled a Display Dock and keyboard with our review device. When joined with the HP monitor and Arc Mouse the whole assembly becomes much more than a smartphone: it becomes a very good approximation of a Windows 10 PC. The result is a hands-on video unlike any other.
This is just a first impressions pass, of course; the in-depth criticism and analysis will come later on, as we make our way toward the full review. But you don't need to spend much more than an afternoon with the Lumia 950 and Continuum to understand why some people think this combo is a game changer. We’ve been calling smartphones "pocket computers" for over a decade at this point, but I don't think I ever fully appreciated that appellation until I saw the Lumia 950 morph from handheld to desktop right in front of my eyes. To borrow a term from another computer maker out there, it felt … kinda magical.
We know you've got Continuum questions for us, folks, so after your watch the Lumia 950 hands-on above, join us for the Pocketnow Weekly podcast later today and we'll take your Lumia 950 questions live on the air!
