Microsoft Lumia 640 XL 3G Dual SIM is one of the seven newly introduced Lumia 640 smartphones. It’s the bigger model offering massive 5.7 screen estate and higher resolution camera. If you are keen on the phablet class, you’ll find the Lumia 640 XL very likable with great grip and solid construction. We’d recommend the matte flavors as the glossy materials compromise both the handling and looks. The removable rear cover and battery come as a nice bonus, too.
There are lots of Lumia smartphones already, so why choose the Lumia 640 XL particularly? First - it will get the Windows 10 update this summer before all other Lumia phones. Then - it comes with a very capable 13MP camera with a ZEISS lens. There is also the expandable storage, the big screen and the great battery life. And last, but not least important - you can get it in 3G, LTE, 3G Dual SIM or LTE Dual SIM version and by choosing the right model you can save some cash.
Windows Phone, soon to be replaced by Windows 10 for Phones, is getting better by the day. We’ve already spent some times with the Windows 10 Technical Preview and the upcoming update looks very promising and a huge step in the right direction. And it surely helps to be among the first to get it.
The Lumia 640 XL isn’t the fastest around and its Snapdragon 400 chipset will be probably discontinued by Qualcomm soon. But Windows is quite lightweights and it’s optimized specifically for this hardware so the performance is hiccup free.
