I bought 640XL LTE Dual Sim back in October 2015. I was kinda die hard fan of Windows Phone because I was bored with Android and kinda annoyed Android's sluggishness. Was using Android on various devices for about 4 yrs. Realized after every update Android became slow. On the other hand, I had development experience on Microsoft Platform (.NET, C#, VB). So thought of picking up one solid Windows Phone device would be helpful. Well no doubt that this particular device is a solid one. It had good camera, great battery life (really good backup), relatively big screen, etc (Although not AMOLED but was good enough). Came with Windows Phone 8.1 out of of the box. This OS was way better than any previous Windows Mobile / Phone. I liked most parts of Windows Phone and best part of all, no hanging or sluggishness like Android. Although only 1GB RM, Windows Phone tackle it well. That's why don't ever directly compare phones with different OS nature, like Apple, Android and Microsoft. Windows Phone's memory handling mechanism is unique such that 1GB RAM was sufficient back then. The biggest problem for me and i suppose for everyone is app availability. It really sucked to the max. The only good and stable apps were like WhatsApp and Instagram. Instagram was in BETA quite long but it is is finally out. Instagram was really feature rich and mostly stable but occasionally crashes. Facebook was the worse. FB app has never EVER been stable on Windows Phone. Back in Windows Phone 8.1, FB app had update issue..Was showing up old stories in news feed no matter how many time we update. After Windows 10 Mobile came, became more interesting. I updated mine and my device was still smooth (no crashing or sluggishness like some complain). FB app improved but still sucked. Built-in Photos App only improved a little on Windows 10. I had so much of private files in my phone especially porn and there were almost zero 3rd party app that can lock my files or something. This is largely because of Windows's architecture. Every app is sandboxed, therefore individual app locking could not be achieved. Unless you have very special needs or super duper bored with iOS and Android, then don't get Windows handsets. They are quite left behind and need to catch up really a lot, especially on the app support part.

        I am using windows since it has launched in the market. I really appreciate windows for giving me such a wonderful phone ever. I still hate people talking bad about windows phones. People who talk bad about windows, I could say they don't deserve it. So windows phones are exceptionally awesome. People out there try to learn using widows instead blaming. Hope u people got the msg.

                          still works great for email and surfing the net, buy social media app is useless on this.. facbook app requires 2gb of RAM to work properly..
                          Facebook, Mesaenger, instagram and etc. takes forever to load photos.

                            Best phone after update no single lag had found.i am very heavy user of surfing internet,,watching videos ,, playing asphalt 8 airborne..best thing you can install apps directly sd card.cons of ML 640 that lacks of apps..and yes it's totally depend on you that how you use your smartphone and what you want from it..i am fully satisfied with it.. Thank you Microsoft+ nokia..

                              been using this phone for awhile.. with windows 10 update, i'm finding quite a number of improvements. however i still miss the social app updates on the people section and also i wish i had 2GB ram which would ease out the tiny bit of lagging i noticed with certain apps. also it would have been really nice if the phone came with 16gb rom ...

                                    This is the best phone in the world. I have also used Samsung as well as Apple. But this performance and camera quality is much better.

                                      It's been a half month with this phone 📱 works like charm. One of the best experience among hardware. Camera quality makes my friends jaw open. Upgraded to latest Anniversary update of Windows 10 and mow my phone works like a boss. People blame about the OS but I blame them for not knowing how to use it. Thanks to Microsoft for frequent updates to keep our phone latest and shiner. I recommend this device to everyone who needs a best 4G experience. Worth putting money in this device. I am really happy with my phone 📱 cheerio!!!
