The new list of sensors that are working on Lumia 950 is almost complete.
Despite that, there are still things that don’t work properly, but the team said that all the functionality and fixes will be available in afuture update:
Not too sure when we will release this yet, maybe in the middle of the month, maybe next month, I don’t want to make too many releases since we have no real update way
After things like Camera and the USB-C will be sorted out, the project will come to an end and you’ll be able to test it on your Lumia 950, if you so choose.
What do you think of this initiative? Would you be interested to try it out?
