This version comes with 3 USB ports, HMDI Out, Display and Power Input. Video playback works a treat, too: I was able to play the Full HD version of Tears of Steel without any stutter or lag whatsoever.It’s a hardware which transfers display from your supporting Windows 10 Mobile to a secondary screen. You can also use the File Explorer app to open Full HD videos, pictures, documents, downloads and music files on your smartphone’s internal storage or any files you have stored on a USB stick. In many respects, it was just like working on a laptop. Unlike Edge, we had no performance issues while typing out Word documents or working with Excel spreadsheets. Thankfully, key apps such as Word, Excel, OneNote, Outlook and OneDrive are supported, and it’s with these that Continuum shows its true worth. Admittedly, a lack of entertainment apps is less of a problem for office workers, and you can still access services such as Netflix through the Edge browser, but considering the Windows Store already has fairly limited app support compared with the Google Play Store and Apple’s App Store, this only narrows down your selection of compatible software even further. That means no Netflix, Skype, Spotify, Twitter or Xbox, at least until their respective developers make them truly universal. The physical design is fantastic, but in use, I found even the Lumia 950 XL’s octa-core 2.0GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon 810 chip and 3GB of RAM weren’t quite fast enough to run Windows 10 Mobile completely lag-free on the big screen. This, combined with a grippy, rubber base, means you shouldn’t need to worry about it sliding around on your desk with every mouse movement. The Display Dock is surprisingly heavy, and despite its small dimensions (64 x 64 x 26mm), it weighs nearly a quarter of a kilogram (230g). Microsoft Display Dock review: Design and performance You can either hook up a Bluetooth keyboard and mouse to the phone or just the keyboard and use the screen on the phone as a touchpad. I’d recommend using a mouse where possible, as the lack of tactile feedback on the screen meant I wasn’t always sure I’d tapped it correctly. Although it’s disappointing that none of the USB ports run at USB 3 speed, one of them is at least a powered USB port, promising fast charge rates of third-party devices such as tablets and battery packs while you work.Īnd you don’t have to use the USB ports at all if you don’t want the clutter of wires.
