MWC 2015: Microsoft Lumia 640 and Lumia 640 XL hands-on

2 March 2015
Microsoft unveiled a couple of mid-rangers, but no flagships. The high-enders will come later, for now we get the Microsoft Lumia 640 XL phablet with Zeiss camera and the Lumia 640, both on their way to a Windows 10 update and both with a full range...

    Microsoft is falling behind. 930 is not good enough... lack of glance (big-big mistake, battery life etc.) I am also waiting for a new device to replace my 820 but currently I see nothing from microsoft... very said things happeing very bad tendencies... skipping the dedicated camera button from the lower model. So, MS is unfortunately not brave enough to bring new concepts to the market. Whatever they bring, they do that sloooooowly. I am a windows fan, but I am getting tired of waiting. I want to options when I buy and MS is offering anything at the moment. 640 is not an option for me, 1520 is not sale, 930 is just not enough.

                And iphone once was the best..and android was better after few upgrades, better screen capacitive teh.battery etc..Now you know, who laughs last.. This is only a warming with midds. Wait for finished win 10 and flags..Performance and simplicity will be brilliant. Nice work Microsoft..

                            they need to grow a brain and ditch lumia. the name sucks and they're going nowhere. people know what galaxy is. lumia? no idea. ditch the name and you'll have a chance.

See my point, the truck might have a bigger engine but its heavy, and the car might have a smaller engine but its lighter.

You will get a better processor, much better cameras (both front and rear), lighter far more compact design and most importantly a phone that you could easily use throughout the day without worrying about charging. I am sure that just like me, you must feel absolutely frustrated by the battery life of your phone.
                                P.S. this one comes at almost a third of the price that the new flagship may come up with. Do you really feel the wait and extra price will be worth it, especially when this phone will get Windows 10 too.

                                  I have been waiting to upgrade my 820 for way too long and finally I get a great option at a great price.

I have a 1520 and a note 3 SM-N900 and the 1520 is my main phone. I think those devices have better specs than these hence these are not for flagship owner but for a different audience als am awaiting the 1520 successor 6 inch screen looks way better than 5.7

I keep telling myself that my next phone will ship with Windows 10, so that I don't expect it until the fall. HOWEVER, I was hoping for an upgradable flagship before that. I have been waiting for Snapdragon 810 w/ more than 2 GB RAM, and I'm trying to stick with Windows, but it's getting hard. I love my 520 but there are so many more powerful devices out there than any Windows Phone, it's so tempting.
