It’s highly likely that future Lumia handsets will also come with Continuum support. Now, we’ve finally had a chance to test Microsoft’s official Display Dock, the optional £80 adaptor you’ll need to use Windows 10 Mobile’s biggest and most exciting feature, Continuum, which effectively turns your smartphone into a portable PC.Īt the moment, Continuum only works on the Lumia 950 and Lumia 950 XL, as it requires USB Type-C to connect your phone to the Display Dock (a cable is supplied for this). Last month, we got to grips with Windows 10 Mobile and all of its brand-new features, from its universal apps to Microsoft’s new eye-scanning security software, Microsoft Hello. You can also attach USB mouse, keyboards, and storage devices to the Dock, to recreate the Windows PC experience from your phone.Microsoft’s superb Display Dock is a glimpse into the future of mobile working, but you need the sluggish Lumia 950 or 950 XL to use it Once the Display Dock is attached to the Lumia 950, you can connect to an HDMI or a DisplayPort monitor. On the other side of the Display Dock is the USB Type-C port to connect to the Lumia 950 over the USB Type-C to USB Type-C cable. There is also one DisplayPort 1.2 port and one HDMI 1.4 port, either of which you can use to connect to an external monitor. The Microsoft Display Dock has one USB Type-C and three USB Type-A downstream ports running at USB 3.1 Gen 1 (5 Gb/s) speeds.

The Display Dock comes with accessories including USB Type-C AC Adapter and USB Type-C to USB Type-C cable. The Display Dock packaging is a lot like the Lumia 950's packaging. The Microsoft Display Dock was released to support Continuum which is Microsoft's technology for allowing Microsoft phones like the Lumia 950 to create a Windows PC experience over USB Type-C.
