Microsoft Lumia 640 review: Outgrowing the mold

18 May 2015
Low-end Lumias dominate the Windows Phone market but aren't prestigious. To fix this, Microsoft crafted the Lumia 640 Trojan horse - a capable mid-ranger hiding behind an undeservedly low model number. It comes with pick-and-choose LTE...

        Great phone.
        Do not congest the RAM, install whatever necessary app suit you, then you feel the 1GB RAM work nicer.
        It a decent gadget with affordable price. That what BUDGET really mean. If you talk about high end unit, that a separate story..and its not suit with this budget subject.

And Elop 'oddly enough' came from Microsoft before being pushed to the CEO position and returned happily right after Nokia sold it's mobile department, to Microsoft. Something with Trojan Horse and such.

                    I know my carrier in the US is going to get the 640. I wonder if the 640XL is coming to the US as well. I really want to get one for my Sister. She loves Windows Phone and wants a larger screen then on her 925. I do not have the money for a 1520 and do not want to get the older 1320 unlocked because I have Tmobile and not Cricket. So I hope my carrier get the 640XL, or at least a carrier unlocked version that has a warranty on it.

                                    These devices (Lumia 640 and 640 XL) are very competitive propositions. The biggest Windows alternative at the present time is the Nokia Lumia 830 which can be bought at a comparable price now and which is capable of recording 1080 video in stereo, which for some reason the 640 doesn't offer. Excellent range of features on offer with these devices.
