continuum what pray tell is continuum it's microsoft's epic attempt at making the plastic dependable lumia 950 into a force as powerful as your pc or TV you start with something like this display doc or this hdmi dongle set it up on your phone and voila you can access all the stuff on the lumia 950 from a larger screen why is this cool will imagine your road warrior working on Microsoft Office dogs in the office and also on the move or say you want to show your friends photos of the trip or a video clip without you all hovering around your tiny screen with a little software and hardware you can control the contents of your phone using your screen as a remote or you could also use a wired or wireless keyboard or mouse the main thing you need is the bigger screen the idea is admittedly really cool and it all sounds great in theory but in practice set up and use weren't quite so simple and I'm honestly not sure how often I'd use it luckily is the first phone with Windows 10 software the Lumia 950 is more than just continuum alone it's also got a cleaner interface that looks pretty spiffy and an accurate iris scanner that unlocks the phone when it Pierce deeply into your eyes it even winks at you the phone itself has a nice large display that's not so big it breaks your hands and a terrific 20 megapixel camera that takes bright clear shots and fights low-light doldrums for all it's worth it's made of plastic and not metal that you can pop out the battery and pop in a storage card both of which are becoming more rare so Cortana voice assistant and offline maps are also great too this isn't the phone that Android and iPhone fans will run to it just doesn't have the apps including native support for Google services but fans of Windows phones are in for a very nice treat with some of these thoughtful touches in Windows 10 learn more about the Microsoft Lumia 950 and my full cnet review
