Considering buying a lumia 950

if he doesn't care about apps he can keep using his 920.

No, the 920 is sloooowww.. I had a 925, upgraded to 640, huge increase in speed. The 950 will be a nice bump up again.

speed doesn't make much difference if you are not using apps.

speed doesn't make much difference if you are not using apps.

Using the built in apps, opening the camera, etc. Don't be so obtuse.

I'm running a Lumia Icon on WP10 and the slow ring insider program. Every release gets better and it's really at the point now where I have no complaints. My sister has a 950 and loves it. The screen, camera and WP smoothness make it my favorite.

It is really slow loading pages with banners and videos, and these forums.

But besides that, I get a sim error where I have to restart the phone regularly, and the audio jack is starting to show signs of a loose connection.

So I don't want to spend to much on a phone and I'll probably buy one of the used 950.

I rocked a 521 til about a month ago when it decided to not read my sim.

My 521 decided I didn't put in a sim about a month ago...so I am on my wife's old Galaxy Note II now. With the same sim the 521 said wasn't not there.

Well you are a hell of a lot more tolerant to slowness than I am.

Microsoft just made a deal with Qualcomm that puts windows 10/win32 apps on ARM devices so things could get interesting. Hope they actually make a surface phone!

As I understand it is a vm so don't expect miracles.

it is native with a win32 emulation layer.

I've ended up ordering the 950, so now I'm just waiting for its arrival.

Finally got my phone (still waiting for my sim card), and I can already say it is much MUCH better than my Lumia 920 in every regard (except the boring black compared to my screaming yellow). It is just so much faster, better screen, better speaker, camera, sound. So very happy with investing $240 in a used phone "Perfect condition" from the sales company. Not a scratch in either body or screen, jus a little smudge on the aluminum around the camera. Only downside is the charger is not original so not a 3A 5V charger but only 0.7A, but since I use a Qi charger, it doesn't matter to me.

Does anyone know how much wattage it supports through Qi? Since you can get 5W, 10W and 15W Qi chargers, and the one I currently have is a 5W.
