How to Install Windows 10 on Lumia 1020
Microsoft Lumia 950 XL (RM-1085)
The First Flagship Phone by Microsoft
Soon after Microsoft introduced its new, improved Windows 10 operating system, it was highly appreciated by many users as it had a convenient and intuitive interface very similar to the one of Windows 7 OS. The popularity of this desktop OS gave impetus to further development and updating of the mobile version of this operating system for smartphones. It was this very Windows 10 Mobile that was preinstalled on the Microsoft Lumia 950 XL flagship smartphone. This smartphone model that runs on Windows can rightly carry a proud title of the flagship. The device proved to be very stylish and successful regarding its design. In terms of performance, the Qualcomm Snapdragon 810 with 8 cores and 2.0 GHz provides very high calculating power. While the 3 gigabytes of RAM provide enough room for running even very demanding applications. The graphics chip of this Lumia Windows phone, Adreno 430, excels in the most cutting-edge games, showing a consistently high FPS. This means a quick launching of games and absence of any stutter and choppiness on the screen when gaming. For fast-paced action games, this advantage plays a key role. As any modern smartphone, this model can be used as a GPS navigator. With the A-GLONASS and A-GPS modules installed on Lumia 950 XL, you can quickly and accurately determine your current location on the map, also the smartphone is able to reliably lead you along a pre-defined route on the map. There is also a Bluetooth 4.1 adapter with BLE and NFC technologies support, which provide fast pairing with any compatible device. The statement is very easy to verify if you take, for example, a set of wireless headphones. For charging the built-in 3340 mAh battery, the manufacturer chose a slightly non-standard but gaining more popularity USB Type-C port, which is widely used in Apple products. The 950 XL smartphone is also equipped with a 3.5 mm port for connecting a wired headset. The most interesting feature of this model is its ability to be easily transformed into a mini PC: with the free docking station (requires Lumia offers app download when placing the order) and the Continuum technology you can connect a display and a keyboard with mouse to the smartphone.
The Best Colors
For any smartphone, the display is very important and the Microsoft is well aware of it. That is why the company decided to equip its Windows smartphone flagship with the best of the displays. This Lumia model got the 2K screen with the 2560x1440 pixels resolution and 5.7" diagonal. For such an impressive size, the smartphone is quite grippy and does not slip out of your palm. And watching movies or simply working gets very comfortable with this display. The AMOLED panel used in the phone display provides a very accurate color and hue rendering, vivid images that almost come to life owing to their incredible realism and volume. However, this display is very good for both watching and shooting high-quality video content. Speaking of which, this Windows smartphone has a 20-megapixel rear camera and a 5-megapixel front camera, which you can use almost immediately. The Lumia 950 phone can encode the video footages shot in the 4K format, which makes it being on par with modern professional cameras. Thus, the device turned out to be very balanced in all aspects offering all the necessary features for comfortable work and leisure.
Hint
Probably all those who used devices with a built-in battery at some point encountered the problem of the battery discharge when it was least expected. Luckily, there are such devices as power banks that effectively address this issue. With their compact size, you can carry it with you anywhere to have an alternative power source in case of unforeseen situations.

What customers say about this product
I think Windows 10 runs great, the phone looks great, has a small screen to bezel ratio and is lighter and more comfortable than other comparably sized phones while providing more screen and resolution.
I've taken photos that look like something off a catalog or something. I'm not some kind of camera expert but the 20 MP gets you so much clarity and detail in your photos.
Even if the signal is low, download speeds are amazing, watching streaming videos using cell it's no longer a problem.
Windows 10 Mobile interface is pretty sweet.
Battery life on this phone is amazing. I can get through an entire day with no qualms.

Multitasking
As consumer market trends show, modern smartphones are not enough to be designed to deliver a high performance in some specific software application, instead new devices need to ensure good multitasking performance. This requirement is conditioned by modern smartphone use scenarios and software environment. Previously, the devices that were running under Windows Mobile platform were not required to have a high-performance hardware, but with the release of new updates to the mobile platform by Microsoft, the powerful hardware became relevant and highly demanded. Nokia Lumia 1520 is an alternative to Android and iOS-based devices and has a powerful processor on the board and a great big display. You can unleash its potential virtually in any use scenario, whether working with office applications or playing games or watching movies. The more so the 6" display of this Windows-based phone suits for any of these tasks perfectly. The IPS panel of the Lumia 1520 offers the Full HD resolution and displays the images at different angles with minimum color distortion, producing a well readable picture even in direct sunlight. But it is the way how the 6" display is utilized in Windows Mobile OS that greatly improves the user experience with this Lumia smartphone. The operating system enables you to open multiple applications in separate windows and display them at the same time on the screen, which was not achievable with other mobile operating systems. The Nokia 1520 large display together with its multitasking-optimized OS makes it very convenient to create quick notes with a stylus, even on the go. This high-performance phone is excellent for both photo and video, as its 20-megapixel camera was manufactured using the PureView technology that greatly simplifies taking high-quality photos. The rear camera optics by Zeiss is among the best available and is resistant to scratches and abrasions, thus preserving the original appearance of the lens. With that, you will not experience a degradation of the quality of photos over the time. Regrettably, the performance of the front camera is not even close to those provided by the rear one. With its modest 1.2-megapixel resolution, the front camera of the 1520 smartphone model by Nokia is clearly inferior to front cameras of competing solutions.
A Substitute For a Digital Audio Player
The Nokia Lumia 1520 smartphone can easily substitute for a digital audio player with its rich audio processing capabilities and ability to play music from both the built-in speaker and the headphones connected. In terms of the sound quality alone, audiophiles may find the sound produced by this Nokia phone, as by the other analogous phones, somewhat lacking in the low register, and the soundstage to be a little narrow. The audio out for your hands free set or earphones is located on the top of the phone, which makes the smartphone blind operation in a pocket more convenient with earphones connected. The built-in 3400 mAh battery is sufficient for nearly a day-long operation, which means a whole day of using this smartphone that utilizes the Windows OS for your work or entertainment without a risk of the battery drain.
Hint
As a rule, the earphones that come with the most smartphones, offer a mediocre sound performance, so we recommend replacing them with better ones. We suggest buying a set of closed-type earphones or headphones for an optimal sound experience when used with mobile phones as such earphones produce a very detailed sound while providing a good isolation of ambient noise.

A Snapshot of Perfection
Looking for a powerful phone that can snap high-quality photos, run modern apps, and, at the same time, not make an Ohio-sized hole in your budget? Well, you could go for used models or risk it on a Chinese knock-off but we recommend the Nokia Lumia 1020 Windows Phone instead. This is one of the flagship models of the Lumia lineup and you'll see why real soon.
First things first we have to give high praise to the rear camera here. With 41 megapixels, this phone will net you the best picture quality you could reasonably hope for and that's not all. You can do a 4x zoom to get up close and do widescreen shots of objects far from you. The advanced technology used by the camera won't let any loss of quality through so you'll receive a clear image in the end. This is helped by the optical stabilization feature that gets rid of blurring even if you have shaky hands or the object is moving.
See More, Do More
Now, with that kind of camera to work with, you might want to go wild and snap hundreds of vacation photos. However, make sure you leave some space for the rest of your files. That might be a bit hard to do, though, since you only get 32 GB of internal storage with no slot for a memory card. It's a bit disappointing but not a huge deal in the modern age of cloud storage.
Besides, the rest of the tech specs are pretty slick here. With 2 GB RAM and a powerful dual-core processor, this Windows phone might not rival a full-on modern computer but it certainly stands its ground against other smartphones and even some PCs and laptops from last gen. It can run apps without any stuttering or crashes, which is vital if you plan on using it for work (or games, we promise we won't tell).
By the way, we want to quickly circle back to photos. They'll be an absolute joy to look at on the 1920 x 1080 display of the Nokia Lumia 1020, especially since you can zoom in quickly thanks to the multi-touch feature. And the color and contrast settings give you room to work with so you can set the screen up to your liking quickly.
A Rare Chance
If there's one last complaint to make, we'd have to call the battery here a bit underwhelming. It's not bad but it's below what some of the other flagship models offer. Luckily, it's just a black sheep amid a great specs list, so it's not a cause for worry.
All in all, the Nokia Lumia 1020 is a prime example of an alternative to iPhones and their ilk. It's a reasonably priced smartphone for those who like photography and want their gadgets to be advanced and elegant. This is a real bargain in terms of specs and quality so don't let it pass you by.

Microsoft Lumia 650 (RM-1154)
Metal to the People
Soon after the Microsoft company revealed their flagship Lumia 950 and 950 XL smartphones to the public, the budget Lumia 650 model was introduced. That was the first entry-level smartphone by the company with the newest Windows 10 operating system, which is installed on the flagship models. However, the phone developers decided not only to equip the phone with the fresh operating system but to add a metal case, which use is very beneficial for the phone operating life and gives users a peace of mind. The speaker, which is located on the back for the most of the smartphones, in this case is located on the bottom of the front panel. Such speaker arrangement a very convenient and thoughtful solution that will let you hear the incoming call or message more clearly. Even when you watch videos, the sound does not disperse but reaches your ears unmuffled. The detachable back cover is removed very quickly and easily, uncovering a removable battery, SIM card slots, and a microSD memory card. The components of this Windows phone is rather modest in terms of a raw performance, with the smartphone not intended for a heavy-load use scenario. The 1 GB RAM and 16 GB of the onboard storage clearly demonstrate this approach. However, the internal storage, as we mentioned, can be expanded using the microSD slot. The internal storage can be expanded to 200 gigabytes, which was hardly credible only a few years ago. This capacity is more than enough to store a large library of books, tons of music and video content on your Lumia 650. The more so since the 5" display of the smartphone makes viewing such media content very comfortable. With that, the display diagonal size makes the smartphone feel comfortable in your hand, enabling its single-handed operation and preventing its slipping out, which can't be said about the models with larger displays.
Made for Work
The Lumia 650 is aimed at maintaining a fluent and effective workflow. The 650 model is useful both on the road and at home. There are two factors in proof of this statement. The first being the capability of using services of two mobile operators owing to the two SIM card slots available. The SIM cards installed have to be of Nano-SIM size to fit the phone slots. The second factor is the seamless integration of this Lumia cell phone in your working environment in case you are an MS Windows or Office user, as you will not need to learn how to use third-party applications and will be able to work with Word, PowerPoint and Excel documents directly in MS Office on your phone. With this Lumia model, you are able to maintain the Office document workflow or prepare for a press conference while on the road.
Hint
As you know, you can not only work but have a rest on a trip. And what is one of the best ways to spend your time on the road if not listening to your favorite music? The music brings positive emotions and gives you a powerful charge of energy for the whole day. The best way to enjoy high-quality music is to use a mp3 player or a DAP, which can unleash the whole potential of your headphones or earphones and to submerge yourself in the world of music.

What customers say about this product
Awesome OLED screen and great functionality.
This phone with a more powerful processor and brighter screen will drain the battery in less than a day with average use, because it was fitted with a lower capacity battery than the 640.
Much better camera than the previous version and works well on the windows platform.
Very nice phone actually looks and feels like a move expensive one, unlocked so you can get your sim from whoever you want.
Battery life seems pretty good. We each go all day on a charge. I talk on mine a lot during the day for my job.

A Budget-Friendly Affordability
It is no news that most of the modern smartphone users wish to have a device that offers a seamless integration of a device for work with an entertaining one. In the entry-level segment, the Microsoft company managed to produce such a device - the Lumia 640. The model combines an attractive price with a set of all the basic features and applications for a comfortable use in both scenarios. An effective utilization of the Lumia 640 hardware is achieved by the use of the mature Windows 8.1 Mobile platform, which unique Lumia Denim customized version is installed on the phone. The onboard quad-core CPU is capable of delivering a smooth and stable running of all preinstalled applications, thus allowing you to perform user tasks with the device with no issues. The 1 GB of RAM installed is not much for a modern device, but given the budget cost of this Windows phone and the OS optimization, this is quite acceptable. The components are encased in a plastic body with a matte back cover, which provides a better grip and prevents the device from slip out of your palm accidentally. The back cover is removable, thus you can quickly access the SIM card and microSD card slots. Among the cell communication features supported, there is the 3G communication standard that ensures a quick Internet access and info search from any location covered by the cell network. This connectivity makes it even easier to work when away from your office. The device operation is also facilitated by the 5" touchscreen covered with the protective Corning Gorilla Glass 3. The display supports a four-point operation, which makes it possible for a quick text entry in instant messengers, so you can exchange the information with your friends or colleagues instantly.
An Additional Convenience Feature
Any modern smartphone is as convenient and useful as its software. Owing to the applications installed, the possibilities of the device conceived as primarily a phone are greatly enhanced, allowing you to use it in a wide range of situations. The Nokia Lumia 640 is no exception and makes both your work easier and the rest more fun. For example, you can use the Glance onscreen feature to personalize the screen saver and configure the settings of the screen clock, incoming messages display and backlight activity scheme. These measures allow you to optimize the battery use and increase the phone operation on a single charge in some measure. You can make use of the alternative ways of controlling your Lumia smartphone, for example, by using a double-tap on the display to wake the phone up without touching the power button. Therefore the Lumia 640 model offers the functionality and performance that are sufficient for performing basic work tasks and provide a fun experience.
Hint
Since the amount of the smartphone internal memory is limited to only 8 gigabytes, we recommend expanding it. This can be done with the help of micro SD cards, luckily there is a plenty of manufacturers and the products available. Choose the most suitable option is much easier after reading our review.
