One thought on “Lumia 950 XL vs Galaxy Note 5 best bits”
I currently have a Galaxy Note 3 & love this device and have been waiting for the note 5 to come out but once I heard the battery was not removable I started getting worried. I know it has a faster charge port but that is not an option that can be good for me, I’ve always ha phones where I could change the battery exept when I had IPhone which I killed the battery so when I heard that the new lumia 950 XL had a battery that can be replaced it basically made my mind up for me. but I will miss the pen; I use it all the time for short notes & hope the 950 XL adds support for it upon release.
