It is easy to remove thanks to a small indentation and grants access to the removable battery as well as the nano-SIM and microSD-slot.

There is some minor creaking, but this is probably caused by the removable back cover, which is made of polycarbonate. Twisting attempts and heavy pressure are no problem for the review unit. This sounds like a lot, but the Moto X Style (up to 11.1 mm) is even a bit thicker. We measured a thickness of 8.5 millimeters, and the Lumia 950 XL even measures around 10 millimeters at the camera bump. It is around 0.5 mm wider and 1 mm thicker than the smaller iPhone 6s Plus but also around 6 millimeters shorter. We already expected the dimensions of the Lumia 950 XL due to the 5.7-inch panel, but the device is still surprisingly compact.
