Microsoft Lumia 950XL has lots of amazing features like Continuum and a 20MP Camera, but also less heralded features such as Wireless charging support and a Fast Charging USB Type-C port, which Microsoft promises will provide a 50 percent charge in 30 minutes.

As a developer of Battery Super Saver we decided to check to see how well it worked on our developer sample. You may see the result in the short video attached below. What is important to highlight is the fact that 5.7″ screen was on all the time with the medium brightness.

We reached 50% after 36 minutes and 100% after 1 hour 39 minutes, which is an amazing result if you bear in mind such a big screen and large 3300 mAh battery. In comparizon Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge with 3000 mAh battery needed 35 minutes to charge to 50% and 2 hours to charge to 100%.
