Microsoft Lumia 640 XL Dual SIM review: Size matters

13 May 2015
The Microsoft Lumia 640 XL is one of Miscrosoft's recently announced Lumias and it's also available as a Dual SIM model, which we're reviewing. It's the best equipped smartphone in the Lumia 640 series - it packs a massive 5.7" screen and a 13MP camera...

I wish the difference between lumia 640 and 640XL was only in display size.But now users have to choose 640XL with good camera but very big screen or 640 with usual phone size but not with a camers as well as 640XL.
Pervious NOKIAs had problem for choosing dual Sim or LTE but now MICROSOFT has solved it and I hope solve this problem too and we see difference between each model with is XL type only in SCREEN SIZE
But at the end I should say Microsoft is doing well and surprising.
I hope to see 740 grows very well in compare to 730 ofcourse without XL problem.
Thanks MICROSOFT

He clearly said he had android Samsung phone too, but he liked the beauty of WP. That's what he was saying. Why are you forcing him to buy lagdroid. If you're happy with lagging OS be in touch with laggy OS for your life time.
        Apps are not important to many people, for clever people like us wants smooth OS. And that's windows.

          Bought one to try out. very very impressive for the price. Apps abit lacking but most stuff is in there and its much better than when i tried a lumia 520 a while back. Coming from a nexus 5 it is abit slower but only in third party apps mostly.

                  Bought this phone a couple of days back
                  Earlier used note 2
                  Windows platform - most small features/ facilities available on android goes missing making u get wild sometimes!
                  Not happy with browsing also...

                  To conclude, looks like value for money @ 15k, but will have to lot more to beat android - samsung

                    Windows are better than android.
                    No competition in bettary backup,web browsing,camera quality and most important no lags..windows still best in this section.
                    And wait for WP10 than its much better and better..
                    Windows rocks

But without good supports from developers, it is as good as dead. Consumers need app selections and choices. Being just a good platform is just not enough. Although MS will be offering bridges to port iOS and Android apps over, but regardless it still require coding tuning, testing and time from developers. All these are still considered as efforts. Will the devs from other platforms be ready to put their their time and efforts to this such minor market share platform? I'm not pinning high hopes TBH.
