BLU Win HD LTE vs Microsoft Lumia 950 XL

With it's large battery (2500mAh), the Blu Win HD LTE will last the full day on a single charge for all but the heaviest users. What's more is that the battery is easily replaceable by removing the back cover.

The Snapdragon 410 processor is commonly found in $200 phones, this phone will outperform the $200 Lumia 650 which only uses the weaker Snapdragon 212.

BLU has even included a silicon case (the color matches the phone), which removes the need to buy a case (saving you $10-20).

The 20MP camera does a really good job in all lighting conditions. For low light shooting, it uses a triple color flash, and allows you to adjust the flash brightness after you take pictures. OIS also helps steady the phone, additionally improving low light shooting as well as video stabilization. Speaking of video, the 4 mic recording setup means audio captured will be crisp and high quality. Lastly, the 2 stage dedicated camera button can act as a shortcut to launch the camera, and pressing it down half way focuses the picture much like a regular point-and-shoot camera.

Windows 10 for mobile is the newest OS for Windows Phones. It makes a lot of improvements, but the two headlining features are Continuum and Windows Hello.

Continuum is a feature available in Windows 10 mobile that allows you to hook up a keyboard, mouse and monitor (through a $100 accessory) and use your phone as a computer.

Windows Hello uses an infra-red iris scanner to verify you, and unlocks the phone. This is more secure than a fingerprint scanner, but also takes about a second longer (and you need to be close to the device).

The removable battery is a nice touch that so many phones are lacking. It also provides a SD card slot to add more storage, and keeps another less common feature: wireless charging.
