Microsoft Lumia 950 originally had gestures that made it much 'smarter'

We go hands-on with an early Lumia 950 prototype featuring smart gestures that never made it into the device that was released.

To many, the launch of Microsoft's Lumia 950 and Lumia 950 XL was somewhat of a disappointment. While both devices were an improvement over previous Windows phones, they did very little to stand out from the rest of the market. Sure, they had great cameras for the time, but any positives in the hardware at launch were quickly overshadowed by buggy software, most of which did not get resolved until several months into the product's lifecycle.

The devices that shipped in November 2015 were not the devices Microsoft had originally planned. During development, in an attempt to stabilize the platform, Microsoft cut several notable hardware and software capabilities, including pen support, and advanced hardware gestures. While pen support is pretty self-explanatory, the removed gesture support is much more interesting.
