Capture Beautiful Photos this Summer
Of course, no summer will be spent without pictures being taken every moment, and with Filipinos known to enjoy taking pictures as much as they enjoy the vacation itself a powerful camera is a must at every trip.
The powerful 20-megapixel main camera of the Lumia 950 and 950 XL is the best for outdoor settings no matter how dark or bright the lighting is—pictures always come out crystal clear.
Videos are also in high quality with its UHD 4k video recording capabilities that don’t blur out videos even while recording fast motions like jet skiing or sky diving.
Selfie lords won’t also have to worry about their photos as the Lumia units are well equipped with wide-angle 5-megapixel front cameras that are also great for groufies!
Hello, summer!
And while summer fun is the anthem of your vacation, don’t miss shooting a single moment because you took too long
entering your phone’s security PIN. Security is a not a problem with Windows Hello, the new built-in security features of the
Lumia 950 XL. Unlike the usual security PIN or thumb scanner, Windows Hello just wants 
you to look at it. The iris scanner built into the front camera of the Lumia is well equipped
to determine your unique eye features—no one else can access your phone through a stolen PIN or a fake thumb print so you can be sure that whatever is in your phone, stays in your phone.
Plus, get this: your Lumia can still tell it’s you even with your shades on!

Let the Lumia take care of your lifestyle with the wide array of productivity apps in the Windows Store.
