LTE Dual Sim     See other variants reviews Score: 65.7 / 100

Microsoft Lumia 640 XL is a fascinating phone, which counts with a large 5.7-inches multi-touch screen, a great 1200 megahertz Quad-Core processor, and two cameras, a 13 MP back camera and a 5 mega-pixels front camera. Let's take a better sight of what this phone offers to us.

Though the Lumia 640 XL just has 6.22" long, it is able to fit a a 5.7" display. This device is extremely thin and practical, with a thickness of just 0.35 inches. This cellphone is much lighter than what you expect from a cellphone this size. Microsoft made this phoneavailable just in multiple color variations: black, orange, blue and white.

Microsoft packed this device with a nice 5.7 inches display, and a 1280 x 720 (HD) resolution, making everything look beautiful. This display uses IPS LCD capacitive technology, and is multi-touch enabled.

Microsoft decided to power this phone using a Qualcomm Snapdragon 400 system chip, backed up by a great Quad-Core CPU clocking at 1.2 gigahertz and only 1 GB RAM memory which is a little poor for such a good cellphone. Collaborating with graphic intensive applications and games, this cellphone also has an Adreno 305 GPU working at 450 megahertz. This cellphone has an 8 GB quite big internal storage memory and an external memory slot, enough to install hundreds of apps and games without any problem.

This device is equipped with two cameras, a 13 mega-pixels back camera and a 5 mega-pixels front-facing camera. Its back camera lens has a 2 aperture so it can capture awesome photographs even in low-light conditions. It also captures videos up to 1920x1080 (Full HD) at 30 fps. In addition, the camera features flash and auto-focus.

The Lumia 640 XL includes wi-fi connectivity (and it can share it with other devices around, as a mobile hotspot), LTE (4G) high performance connectivity and also HSPA+ connectivity, a slower 4G type and 3G fast internet connection, using HSDPA, HSUPA, UMTS and EDGE technologies. The Lumia 640 XL supports dual sim cards so it is able to work with two different phone numbers and even different carriers in the same device.

This cellphone packs a 3000 mAh massive battery that can keep this phone running for several hours and even reach the end of the day without charging it. According to Microsoft, this phone has an estimated 30.3 hs talk time and a 888 hours stand by time.

This cellphone also comes with a few nice characteristics as NFC (Near Field Communication), Bluetooth and GPS (Global Positioning System), and multiple sensors like Light Sensor, Proximity Sensor, Accelerometer and Compass.

This phone may be a little expensive considering it is sold for $ 180, and many similar cellphones cost a bit less than that. No matter if you will use it for gaming, will use it as a work phone, will use it as a social cellphone or you love taking photographs, this phone is a good choice for you.
