The Lumia 950 and Lumia 950 XL has arrived in Singapore. Running on Windows 10, they are the first devices to be shipped with this OS. Both come with PureView cameras with 20 megapixel sensors and triple LED natural flash that shoot 4K video. Love the Continuum feature that allows the phone to have full Windows 10-like features when connected to a screen via the dock. Have not tried it yet but should be interesting.
