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.

It is powered by an octa-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 810 processor and Adreno 430 alongside 3GB of RAM. The processor’s issue with overheating is addressed by a liquid cooling system from the company’s Surface tablet. A large 3,340mAh battery will keep it on with charging option via USB Type-C or go wirelessly.

The Windows 10 Mobile phablet will be available in November for $650.
