      I waited for a month after buying the phone to make a comment. I have a 640XL Dual Sim.
      Battery is great as I can use it for 2 days with the data connection. Display also gives you some good performance. Not getting heat at all as my previous phone Lumia 920. Camera is very good in daylight and focusing is excellent. Phone is slim and light weight than it looks a like. To me Windows OS is way better than Android. Altogether Lumia 640 XL is very good phone at that price range. And definitely this phone gives you a different status.

          Most comprehensive review and I found it very useful. Your credibility however is lessened (for me) by your very poor use of the language, putting doubt in my mind as to your ability to judge anything.

              I recently lost my Nokia Lumia 520.
              I want to buy this lumia 640 XL, Need to know the more experience of users of this model should i blindly go for this phone ???
              or
              which is best 3G or 4G because in some part of the India there is no 3g support then 4G is out of the question even though the 3G works better depend on service provider. Confused between LTE and 3G MRP also different.

              plz need some more suggestions from users.

                  I recently purchased 640 XL Dual SIM. The phone is amazing and so lively. It has a style that is unique to Nokia/Microsoft! Previously I used Lumia 620 (still own it)....and now change to 640 XL for its Phablet features. Browsing, reading e-books, playing videos are so smooth and enjoyable. The battery is the USP of this phone. You need not charge necessarily for 100%...charging 60 or 70% itself will run for a day and above! I am not really exaggerating..!Have it, you will love it :)

                        I bought Lumia 640 XL LTE few days ago and I very satisfaced. Nice and easy to hadle it. I never back again to Android platform, which I considered is GREAT FRAUD. When you buy Microsoft Lumia smartphones, you buy hardware and OS - great OS - I must say. Android is freeware and "Sh.. t" OS.
                        Win 8.1 is smooth OS, and when get Win 10 mobile I think that Lumia works much better and esaiest.
                        I have big hand, so size of Lumia 640 XL is fit to me. Big screen 5,7" is very good.
                        This is beautiful and fine phablet for this prize. I must say that is some Samsung is good phones (and very expensive), but provide similar or equal function like a Lumia 640 XL (an, by the way, cheaper).
                        So, my opinion is - inform about your next phones on this site, to buy a good performans and good value phones and I recommending Microsoft Lumia colection.

                                Microsoft you are also launching phones with higher features this is grate but Microsoft failed to give standards like NOKIA. And you don't have direct camera 📷 shot button also like NOKIA phones. And battery is also not good as NOKIA please check about this and give solutions to these problems
