The Lumia 950XL is obviously the bigger of the two, and sports a Qualcomm Snapdragon 810 processor with a custom liquid-cooling solution to keep the notorious overheating problems of Qualcomm’s top of the line flagship at bay. The smaller 950 also has liquid cooling tech in it, though it sports a less problematic 808 hexa-core processor inside. Both phones have 3GB of RAM and both phones has impressive 20-megapixel PureView cameras with ZEISS optics on them, so it’ll be interesting to see how both perform in real-world conditions.
Microsoft is selling the Lumia 950 at Php 28,990, while they are pricing the Lumia 950Xl at Php 32,990.
