3G Only (RM-1109)     See other variants reviews Score: 64.3 / 100

Microsoft Lumia 640 is a great cellphone, packing a pretty large 5 inches multi-touch screen, a Quad-Core CPU running at 1200 megahertz, and 2 cameras, an 8 mega-pixels back camera and a 0.9 megapixels front camera. Let's take a better view of what this phone has to offer.

Microsoft made this phoneavailable just in a nice range of colors like black, orange, blue and white. Microsoft made an amazing optimization job making this phone weight just 5.11 ounces. This phone is just 5.56" long and 2.84 inches wide, but it is still able to fit a a 5" display. The Lumia 640 is just 0.35 inches thick, making it one of the thinnest phones in the market.

This cellphone ships with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 400 chip, including a powerful Quad-Core processor speeding at 1.2 GHz and 1 GB RAM memory. An interesting feature of this device is its 8 GB quite big internal storage and an SD memory card expansion slot, which allows you to install hundreds of games and apps without any problem.

Microsoft packed this cellphone with a interesting 5" screen, and a resolution of 1280 x 720 (HD), which makes it hard to see the pixels in the screen. This screen uses IPS LCD capacitive technology, and allows multi-touch gestures.

This cellphone counts with WiFi connection (which can be provided to other devices as a mobile hotspot), 4G (LTE) fast internet connection and also HSPA+ data connection, a slower 4G variation and 3G fast connection type, supported by HSDPA, HSUPA and EDGE technologies. This cellphone works with a Micro SIM card to connect to GSM networks.

This cellphone has two cameras, an 8 megapixels back side camera and a 0.9 megapixels front facing camera. The Lumia 640 also films videos in 1920x1080 (Full HD) at 30 frames per second. The camera also has a couple of interesting features: flash, face detection shooting, auto-focus, geo tagging and HDR mode.

The Lumia 640 packs a 2500 mAh big capacity battery, enough to provide the Microsoft Lumia 640 with an incredible battery life. Microsoft says this phone has a 864 hours stand by time and a 26.5 hours talk time.

The Microsoft Lumia 640 also features many useful characteristics as Wireless charging compatibility, NFC (Near Field Communication), Bluetooth (allows communication with other devices, computers and accessories), GPS (Global Positioning System) and Radio, and lots of sensors like Light Sensor, Proximity Sensor, Accelerometer and Compass.

The Lumia 640 costs around $ 205, which is not a really offer for comparing with other similar devices. It doesn't matter whether you will use it as a gamer cellphone, want a social device, want a cellphone for work or you love taking photographs, this cellphone is a great choice .
