As a former tester for Microsoft, just curious if there are still Lumia users around.
I stopped testing various MS phones and using the Lumia's after we were informed Microsoft would ditch their Windows phone/mobile plans.
Did love the 950/950XL but still do some testing as an Microsoft Insider
Don't think this section will be very busy
I used Windows Phones for years and years. Loved how light the system requirements were and that the phone just flew compared to Android back then. And that user interface just couldn't be beat on mobile--hands down the best UI for phones so far. I've only recently gotten into photography, but I think I have some old RAWs left from my 950 XL on an external HDD somewhere... I'll see if I can track some down and post them here. #ThereAreDozensOfUs
I did like the whole ecosystem very much. Did switch to android, Nokia X20 at the moment with MS launcher/apps but still don't like Android (and IOS)
Sorry, but my Lumia 920 has died quite a while ago, ran into the endless-reboot-loop syndrom. I'm still preferring the tile UI though and installed a Windows Phone launcher to the Android replacement; best of both worlds.
No but I now use this great launcher after I was forced to abandon Windows Phone, love this Launcher (Launcher10) and since moving to Android I havent had a single problem with it, infact my wife had to give up on her 920 so I bought her a Nokia, put this Launcher on and she still thinks she has a windows phone
Just worked out how to post these
Best phone I have ever owned was my Nokia 1020. Love them so much bought them twice. I wish I could figure out how to install windows 10 mobile on one now, I would use it in a heartbeat.
That was definitely one of the best smartphoncameras arround 👌
I used before switching (and testing) to the various Microsoft-Nokia Lumias. And used it including the Battery-grip that was available
Took this while hiking in/through Ilsetal in the Harz ,Germany
I had the grip given to me at a local blacks camera. They were closing down and I walked in because I knew they had one listed. Buddy gave it to me. I was so happy. I used it all that trip, which one of the images I posted above was from. I now have a similar item for my iPhone. But it does not hold a candle to the 1020 even today!
I think you're right about it not being very busy.
I got a Lumia 920 when it first came out and then a 950XL when the mic stopped working on that. About 4 years ago, sadly, it started randomly crashing and restarting. That coupled with the lack of support for some apps I used prompted me, reluctantly to jump ship.
BUT, I still have both phones and this post prompted me to fire them up and take them out.
They are still both very capable cameras. The jpegs are not as bright as my current Huawei but have a more natural look. One thing I had forgotten was how good the DNGs were on the 950. Although my Huawei (Mate 20) can save RAW DNG files, they aren't very good (as well as being huge) so I've given up. But those from the 950 are great.
Such a pity the platform failed. They wre great phones.
