My old phone was an LG optimus G e975.. I love that phone very much ( i'll miss the quick memo and Q-Slide, if it wasn't broken ( touchscreen related concerns) I will definitely replaced it.. But thanks, I have discovered a beast!!!

I recently bought this phone... and I am a very happy user... the battery is a total beast... my last time charge to full 100% was 18hrs and 50 minutes ago and as of this writing still have 56% of battery life, mathematically speaking I only consumed 44% of the battery life which is roughly 2.3%/hr battery consumption. I am a medium user. I use it today for surfing, text and call as well as watching downloaded movies and streaming video clips

other pros
> exemplary camera rear/front in its price range.
> buttery smooth even with only 1 gig of ram and snapdragon 400 processor
> I like the glance screen more than the notification light of other phones.
> with double tap in every place of the touchscreen panel to wake and double tap on the navigation bar to sleep.
> Can see the screen clearly even under direct sunlight thanks to its sunlight readibility option.
> With NFC and project my screen (same as chromecast)
> With built in call +sms filter which blocks unwanted calls and sms.
> With interchangeable back cover, for you to choose from matte to glossy; green, cyan, black and white color variants. ( I definitely love the white color, it looks elegant)
> User replaceable 3000mAh battery.
> Good built. With its look even it is made of plastic material, it is more elegant than what samsung phones (really?) in its price range could offer.
> Can be upgraded to windows 10 once it is release. Hoping for faster release of windows 10 on my lumia 640xl...


cons.
> low ppi density. Which is obviously noticeable when in white background. But less noticeable when using dark backgrounds.
> Large Screen. For me its a cons, i definitely like screen no bigger than a 5 inch but I choose this phone over its smaller brother and cousins because of its specs.
> very few apps in the market.. Which I hope will increase when windows 10 is in full blast.
> Low internal memory.. This is the aspect which I think is the downside for me... with only 8 gb of ROM, the user is left with almost 4gb to use with. BUT it has a micro sd slot available upto 160gb I guess?

To sum it up, this phone is a beast in its price range... No other phone within its price range can compete with this monster... Yes, android phones like (ASUS and Mi) have a better specs in terms of RAM, ROM and chipset than the 640xl. but no other smartphone within its price range could last more than a day without recharging its juice and can compete with its fully customizable camera app to look like being shot with a professional cam.

I definitely recommend this phone.

                    using a while now and everything is good,calling,3g,wifi,screen looks sharp and clear,excellent pics also from rear camera,flash is good in total darkness,and front camera is good too,and i love the various camera settings especially the 4 second for some nice effects with night pics,video is good,just keep hands as steady as possible when moving,(no optical image stabilization),not a con for me,windows store has all the apps i need and more(i also use android but this is not my first windows phone),navigation apps and gps good,whatsapp works well,and i like the large screen,but it is not big in one's hand at all,no complaints,very satisfied.

                      We i recently bought this phone. The screen although it carries a low res, looks great. Weird I know but its true. Atnd the battery life is great.At least with my normal usage easily got 1.at 4 days left at 33%. Playing music, web browsing, very few phone calls.
                      Its a very good phone for its price.
                      Cons would have to be - the video taking abilities
                      -Screen could be higher Res
                      - Too little internal memory
                      Pros - Still photos are awesome.
                      -Battery Life awesome
                      - Smooth
                      - Sound of speaker is pretty good.
                      - Body Design is really good.
                      - ext Memory card Slot. AWESOME

So yeah, not exactly believing that. If you would have used an android with octa-core and 2Gb of RAM, you would have not bought this...
