Remember the other USB Type C connector at the back? Yup! That is the one that will be used to charge the dock so plug it to the wall using the supplied power brick. Setting it up is easy: Connect the phone (in my case the Lumia 950) to the dock using the lone USB Type-C to USB Type-C cable at the front. The lone USB Type C connector for connecting your Lumia 950/950XL At the front, there is a lone USB Type-C connector which we will get to later. Speaking of ports, there are 3 USB 2.0 ports (no USB 3.0 here) with one of them that has the ability to deliver a higher current, 1 display port, 1 HDMI port and 2 USBType-C connector ports. When you first hold the hub, you will immediately notice that it has quite some heft to it (actually 230 grams) and has lots of ports. It is the middleman that connects the phone, monitor and other peripherals to for a ‘desktop’ setup. The key to the whole setup is that Microsoft Display Dock that the company sells for $99. So what is Continuum?Ĭontinuum is what Microsoft envisions as a way of turning your phone to work like a PC by using certain accessories. Windows 10 is for tablets and PCs but Windows 10 Mobile was given a feature that makes it mimic the Windows 10 PC experience and that is Continuum. Microsoft’s aim this time round was to unify Windows 10 for PCs and Windows 10 Mobile to make it easy for interoperability of apps between them. The platform has struggled to gain market share from the current giants (Android and iOS) but their latest release (Windows 10 Mobile) is quite promising. It started back in the day as Windows Mobile (like Windows Mobile 6.5 that ran on the Omnia II) until the major revamp that was Windows Phone 7. Microsoft’s mobile ecosystem has undergone quite the metamorphosis. Microsoft announced its current flagship phones: the Lumia 950 and the 950XL in October last year and they have flagship level specs: powerful processors, lots of RAM, great cameras, high-resolution screens and next generation niceties like USB Type-C connectors.
