Windows Phone has always been a conundrum. It’s a platform filled with good ideas (I always liked Live Tiles I admit), but something kept it from being my smartphone go-to. With the Lumia 950 and 950XL, this a seemingly new experience altogether.

This decision could, of course, also be motivated by the company trying to stifle the growth of Microsoft's aspiring platform.
