LTE (RM-1109)     See other variants reviews Score: 64.3 / 100

Microsoft Lumia 640 is a fascinating cellphone, coming with a good size 5 inches screen, a 1200 megahertz Quad-Core processing unit, and 2 cameras, an 8 MP back-facing camera and a 0.9 MP front-facing camera. Let's take a closer sight of what this device can do.

Microsoft decided to equip the Lumia 640 using a great performance Quad-Core processor running at 1.2 gigahertz, bundled in a Qualcomm Snapdragon 400 system chip with 1 GB of RAM memory. A nice advantage of this cellphone is its quite big 8 GB internal storage memory and an external SD slot, enough to install hundreds of apps and games without worrying about space.

This phone is a compact cellphone, given that it has a 5" display and it's only 5.56 inches long and 2.84 inches wide. The Microsoft Lumia 640 has an amazing design, with a thickness of just 0.35". Microsoft made a very nice job making this cellphone as lightweight as 5.11 oz. This device is available in many different colors like black, orange, blue and white.

Microsoft packed the Microsoft Lumia 640 with a very good 5 inches display, and a 1280 x 720 (HD) resolution, providing this phone with a good level image quality. Its display uses IPS LCD capacitive technology, and is multi-touch enabled.

The Lumia 640 has two cameras, an 8 mega-pixels back-facing camera and a 0.9 megapixels front-facing camera. It is capable of shooting videos in 1920x1080 (Full HD) at 30 frames per second. This phone also has some nice characteristics: flash, face detection shooting, auto-focus, HDR mode and geo tagging.

This cellphone packs a large 2500 mAh removable battery that can keep it running for many hours and even reach the end of the day without having to charge it at all. Microsoft reports a 26.5 hs talk time and a 864 hs stand by time for this device.

The Lumia 640 provides wi-fi connectivity (which it can share with other devices acting as a mobile hotspot), 4G (LTE) great performance data connection and also HSPA+ connectivity, a slower 4G technology and fast 3G connectivity, over HSDPA, HSUPA and EDGE technologies. The Microsoft Lumia 640 uses a Micro SIM card for GSM networks.

This cellphone also comes with plenty of great features like Wireless charger compatibility, NFC, Bluetooth, GPS Navigation and Radio, and lots of sensors like Light Sensor, Proximity Sensor, Accelerometer and Compass.

The Lumia 640 may be a little overvalued considering it is priced 155 dollars, while some similar phones are sold for a bit less than that. This device is a good choice for you no matter whether you love photography, are looking for a phone mostly for internet broswing and social networks, need a cellphone for work or will use it as a gamer cellphone.
