The Microsoft Lumia 640 features a 5-inch HD display, comes in a range of vivid colors, and runs on Windows Phone 8.1 (it's set to get upgraded to Windows 10 in the not too distant future). The Lumia 640 has all the options you'd expect from an affordable phone: more specifically, it arrives in a single- and dual-SIM versions with both a 3G model and 4G LTE version of the handset, including a dual-SIM LTE device. The handset comes in a range of colors including cyan, orange, black and white. It's also got an 8-megapixel camera with dynamic flash and auto HDR, as well as a front-facing camera with wide-angle lens. It is pre-loaded with the latest Lumia camera app update.

Great Buy

Posted: Dec 15, 2016, 7:12 AM

Phone owned for less than 3 months

A lot has changed software wise since the initial reviews.

Money-wise it's a brainer to buy because of the price point and the near-premium quality of the hardware. This definitely a Nokia phone in spirit.

Phone owned for more than a year

Good to normal usage like calls pictures etc, good built quality. Windows 10 kills the joy of using that phone.. They have troubles since 8.0 which they didn't fix to this day. If you had this device on 8.1, never update to 10. You will regret it.

Wonderful Budget Phone

This phone is one of the best budget phones out there. The OS is of course easy to use and straightforward. Battery life for this device is great. The camera is good for a budget device, but won't compete with most high-end flagships. Great phone, I would recommend it over any other sub-$200 device I've tried.
