Microsoft Lumia 640 XL - User Reviews

  • Useless, not social apps like Facebook and so on.

  • I honestly love windows phones can you please stop this drama Just make an upgrade so that we can re access our whatsapp and other apps.... Please dont make us regret your accesories, we love them and still want to use them

  • Very good job

  • Agreed

  • This Is all bullshit what is Microsoft doing about it. Can the developers come up with and app that can run android apps on Microsoft. Some of us don't want to use android smartphones they such and i love Windows

  • Telegram messenger still working, it's the only useful app I have on this phone.

  • They are shutting down support for Windows Phone by the end of 2019, the Messenger app was shut down a few days ago, WhatsApp is going away as well. This means that these phones will become feature phones with very limited capabilities. That said, stuff like the music player or even navigation might still work, these would be good phones for such a thing, the second-hand market will probably be flooded with cheap phones, if it isn't already.

  • Why is there no video call and voice call in messenger??

  • Couldnt find any tool like that...

  • Yes. Download the Windows Migration Tool to upgrade to Windows 10. Also, with Windows 10, you can now install working versions of Facebook and Messenger.

  • I got this phone today . Obviously it has been used before by someone else. But I love it that's why I bought this. It came with Windows Phone 8.1 with denim. I wanted to ask if it is worth the update to windows 10 ? Thanks

  • Go back for android

  • If this phone had 6 apps. Youtube whatsapp mx player adobe reader. Shareit google duo hp print It may had top phone. That stupid executives of microsoft made a gun without bullet. I e a good smart phone without simple audio visual apps.

  • Hello! If you didn´t upgraded to win10 because your network didn´t release it, you can go to the store and that's an app that make the upgrade, in portuguese is "assistente de atualização" so it must be "actualization manager" or "upgrade manager"

  • It's time to bid a sad farewell to my Lumia 640XL. It has served me well for the last 4 years. My reason isn't the phone, it's because I find that a lot of websites I try to visit don't play nice with it. I'm supposed to be able to upgrade to Win 10, my carrier (Metro PCS), isn't allowing that, I think. So I'll keep in around the house and use it as a portable video player and e-reader.

  • great phone. super fast, good apps [for business at least]. I will buy another over Apple Samsung LG, GOOGLE, MOTOROLA

  • great phone. super fast, good apps [for business at least]. I will buy another over Apple Samsung LG, GOOGLE, MOTOROLA

  • Very bad phone. Microsoft store doesn't have apps like Clash of clans, Chrome, Google Maps, YouTube etc. So, the phone is totally useless. I had to buy a new one though it was working well. Buying it means wasting your money.

  • Change the date to feb 15 and it should go through im having the same trouble with the october update now

  • Good Phone but need to more improvement as more apps good games and 4G

  • why wont my Microsoft ZEISS stay charged

  • I just bought one on Ebay in a brand new sealed box. came with windows 10. I updated and got 10.1 . disappointed that i cant have ebay... but so far so good. love the phone. and it was 49.99...Love the fact that i can set to dark mode, with pink tiles..cant really go wrong.

  • Maybe you shold try keeping pressed the wi fi button till the options fisplay. Uncheck the box "reconnect automathically in" and set that option to "manually". Hope this helps

  • I completely agree with you. Simple and clean. But now a days mobility has become so important that we are forced to use Android for Apps.

  • Agreed

  • Microsoft Lumia 640 xl is a super phone. I am a Civil Engineer. Working in bright sun light daily. This phone really helps me to read in bright sun light. Secondly good battery backup. Camera is also clear. No problem occurred since 2 years. Only draw back is it doesn't have much application compared to Android phones. I am enjoying with windows phone.

  • Good Phone with the latest windows 10 mobile upgrade, low pixel density, but 13MP Zeiss camera worth a lot...!

  • Actually Good 4n.because update Windows 10. Woow nice.good good nothing error

  • I have been using 640XL for years & have not experienced any such incident like restarting. Many of my friends are also using Microsoft Phones and have the same experience.

  • Can someone help. I do not have a WI-FI access even though the WI-FI indication is showing at top far left corner of the screen. No website is responding. What do I need to do? Thank you

  • Lumia 640xl good phone.it's amazing windows 10 update upgrade advisor.so now Windows phone owner android.so now Windows Phones develop new os Andromeda.so Windows Phones fans not worry. After few months android apps support Windows Phone. Lumia 640xl good phone

  • After upgrading my 640xl the video camera does not work saying I need to free up space. There is plenty of space does anybody know why.

  • Can anyone explain how to upload videos from watsapp from Microsoft Lumia 640

  • texts not sending, emails send after months, this is not really a great phone. I constantly have delays in all of my applications.I see Microsoft is no longer selling, is there a reason for that? But, if you would like good pictures this may be the phone for you.

  • can you connect with usb to pc,i simple advice you,to make it win8.1

  • This is one of the best Camera phone with Zies optic, since last 3 years i m using this phone, everything is still perfect, good battery backup, and clear big screen. after updating it to windows 10 it became more useful. I need some suggestions, I m facing one problem there is new update 10.0.15063.297, after downloading its says installation is failed i dont know how to solve this , i called B2X support , they suggested me to downgrade to WP 8.1 from WP 10 and again upgraded to WP 10. Is it good idea ? will this work or any other solution? please help.

  • Lumia 640xl &640 good Mobile.display sounds camera better. Buy rocks

  • Actually good Phone. I buy original phone last stock.it's Smart and smooth Windows 10 upgrade after. I recommended Lumia 640xl good phone it's display hd very nice clear back display wow...amazing. because I recommended i use too much mobile Phone android and i Phone Motorola g2,Samsung Galaxy,HTC 828,HTC 626,Huawei,i phone 4s,i phone 6,i phone 5s. This model release 2015 July.but technology good.some mobile phone 2017 models very poor quality.so get Windows Lumia good,battery and also. I know some apps not available Windows Mobile store. I apologize next is coming soon. So finally Lumia 640xl good mobile. Buy it

  • I made A mistake buying this crappy phone most apps are useless back to android phone.

  • don't buy waste phone, we need to restart the phone every time for making the call, motherboard complaint Microsoft is waste

  • The worst Phone could have ever made just money wasting

  • i upgraded from Win 8 to Win 10 , phone became a little bit slower and no way to make a password on the phone and store is so poor .

  • is their is a calling system in messenger??

  • I've had the 640 XL for almost two years. I upgraded it from W8.1 to W10 as soon as it was available. The installation was very troublesome because of limited storage, but I eventually got it done, and it was worth it. Some apps disappeared but, for the most part, they were replaced with better apps. Everything about w10 was far better than w8.1 and many things that hadn't worked before now worked, or worked better. My biggest problems are memory and storage. 1GB of memory often requires me to close things that I'd rather keep open, but the limit of 8GB of storage is a nightmare. Often, I can't complete a Windows Update because of the limited storage even though I moved everything to my 128GB micro-SD storage card, everything that could be moved, that is. Unfortunately, a lot of MS or Lumia apps cannot be moved to the SD card, leaving me with considerably less than 1GB of storage, which is not enough for installing many Windows Updates. This problem has gotten me so frustrated that I have strongly considered moving to the 950 XL (money) or even to the Alcatel 4s (not a Lumia and some negative feedback). It's hard to justify spending big $$$ for a phone, even a great phone, when MS has decided to drop out of both the mobile hardware and the mobile OS business.

  • Hi I'm using my Nokia for 2 years... I have 2 problems Messenger Facebook start very slow! I can't change the size of the pictures ( 13 millions pixel) for me it's too many..

  • You need to install windows upgrade advisor app.

  • I am not able to see my downloaded apps on the app menu afterscrolling on the left of my 640XL Lumia. I cant see most of my regular apps, this phone has become useless. Alarm, google, Gmail, Facebook all icons gone.... Any temp solution? The phone that I want is not yet launched.... Please help...

  • How can I install windows 10 I'm having trouble shooting, after it downloads it writes "update was downloaded but could not open

  • how can I delete all the application which was downloaded from story?

  • How do u mean, does ms work and all app in w8.1 works

  • it is totally wrong

  • You don't. W10M is much much worse than WP81 on the 640XL. Plus: you loose almost any important app. The whole Here Maps suite is gone on W10M. MS totally killed Windows Phone by introducing W10M and halting WP81 development.Keep WP81 and be happy. You got a working phone.

  • low internal storage & RAM and also having a problem that " many Apps Can't be installed on this phone as compared to Android Phones.

  • how do I update to windows 10?

  • really amazing camera!!!!!!!

  • yes use bkuestacks

  • windows 10 update is running smooth and new features that are amazing....windows 10 make the phone amazing and enjoyable

  • If you need smartphone for normal everyday use then it's an excellent phone, way better than andoids in this price range. If you want a playtoy, then it's not for you.

  • overall a good phone but no usb on the go support still seems to be inferior against the cheapest of android

  • What to do with 640 xl. As Microsoft leaves to upgrade apps. It is expensive phone. Whether any technology to convert to Android?

  • I have been using lumia 640xl for nearly 8 months. My first smartphone Lumia 620 then to few Andriods then back to this model. My simple conclusion over this phone up to date is marvelous and decent performance from the initial terrible experience of unknown problems. I have to emphasize one very important thing that this phone only sold after conversion in my country for USD80-100. Performance good although not the fast one but acceptably smooth. Satisfied Camera esp daylight but little let-down if insufficient light source. Battery can last me a day of working since I used to a lot emails. In-house Apps all great but 3rd party Apps mostly unnecessary junk pieces. However luckily In-house Apps sufficient for all the basic tasks, from messaging, keyboard, outlook, Edge, Office to map. Overall, the user experience that I can say was in the range of Andriod phones USD 150-200. One very annoying thing about Android platform to me is All APPS can gain access too much information from us !!!! Example: Even a torchlight app need contact and location information, read your phone and message???? Why?? Initially I faced many problems with this phone even I was in windows 10. Felt terrible. Microsoft Edge not functioning well, small words on every start-up. Copy and Paste problems from Edge to emails or vice versa. Facebook always crashed the every opening so I have to open 2nd time to be able to use Facebook. Unable to update to the latest version. I went to reset the phone. Be informed it won't erase the Windows 10 back to 8 again as the time I bought. You don't need to update again. Once it ready , installed back all Apps. The phone now works marvelously without the problem mentioned above. I got the latest July arm-based version. Sadly to hear Microsoft has discontinued the line of LUMIA. In fact I love Windows mobile 10 so much.

  • it is 100% true because i am also facing same problem after upgrade to windows 10 basically slow battery charging hanging etc

  • Ya got the fm app after a series of updates I guess I have updated to most current build. Couple of issues with slow battery charging with stock charger low battery life facebook without live tile notification. Would love it had dual apps like android.

  • I am running the fast build on my 640 on it runs great. Battery last about day and half. the default apps run great

  • I have bought lumia 640 XL dual sim in last week. it's best phone. Now, i want to upgrade my phone to windows 10. Some people says that windows 10 not working (Battery and Hang issue) properly in your phone. is it true? please reply. Is windows 11 available in market & it support my phone? Please reply. Hoping your reply as soon as possible.

  • The FM radio is still there, Windows 10 installed for me (go to phone update in settings) and works brilliantly. This phone is still supported by Microsoft, so it's a great buy. You really should update! Loving this phone 100%. Happy updating and long live Windows Phone!!

  • Hi I bough it off eBay too awaiting delivery did u update to win 10? Is the fm radio lost after update? Is it way too big nd how's the display quality

  • I bought this Microsoft lumia phablet eBay, it came with all the accessories, good looking phone, I was happy with it first time I held it, problem is charging, takes abit longer to charge. bad news for those who want quick charge and go, I have monitor how it charge getting 1% to 2% takes roughly 7min. If you are concerned about your 640xl charge give it time if you are not in hurry to get 100%, alternatively charge it at night and you ready to use it next day, hope this help good luck.

  • Microsoft has gone nutts seriously. Windows 10 has issues with compatibility on 640 xl and now thy r disccontinuing 8.1 support for windows phone. 1st give proper updates for windows 10, mke it run flawlessly on all lumia devices and then discontinue 8.1 version. Very poor decisions, ideas and plans of microsoft. It will definately face teust issues in future.

  • please how do i downgrade my lumia 640 xl after an upgrade to windows 10?

  • i have been using this lumia 640XL for 3 years and it is the best phone ive ever used but there it has some problem about the software...

  • Please reset your phone after major update then your phone works fine

  • You need to install the upgrade advisor first

  • I am using Lumia 640xl for one year and couple of months. I really want to update to Windows 10 , because a lot of the app are not working anymore like Facebook messenger, Skype also Instagram it is crushing etc.. I don't have any problem with the performance of the phone, just with the app..Does anyone have experience with Windows 10 and what is the best way to upgrade it. Thank you :)

  • The Lumia 640xl is a great phone.1. Excellent battery timing, 2. Big and bright display, 3. Smooth and smart OS, 4. Great cameras, 5. Great price, 6. Excellent build, 7. Very reliable for professional use. There you go,7 reasons to buy this phone

  • Joke of the day Camera 📷 is bad in 640XL😝 Camera is with Carl Zeiss 13MP I am using it since 2015 You must be high on weed It was amongst flagship mobiles from 2015 till mid 2016 that too at peanuts price as compared to Samsungs HTCs Sonys

  • Nope. I dont find 4g anywhere in network settings..

  • I too have 640 xl. I upgraded it to win10 and it started misbehaving . Camera wont work properly, crashes once in every two times i open it. What are u using?

  • i have been a fan of nokia lumia since day one, love to get 640 XL but its expensive

  • Just one word are you for real... That's a good joke. You must have stones in your pocket.... Lol

  • Don't know what's your problem, but Microsoft rules. Have no problem with my Microsoft Lumina, 640 XL runs awesome put Android to shame..Lol

  • very good phone I have ever used good camera and great battery back up

  • Does it supports LTE Reliance 4G (Not VoLTE)

  • I am using Lumia 640 XL in Pakistan for past 4 months. It is a very good quality phone. I upgraded to windows 10 with no problem. Camera, Call quality, Wifi, Battery, Display.. everything is perfect for its price. I bought it for Rs/-12000 or US$120. I am a satisfied customer.

  • I think their camera is market specific. Camera in my 640XL is worse. Here, In Pakistan, We can find better cameras in Samsung's mid range phones.

  • Such lying liars on this site. Very slim and light phone. Windows 10 installed without problems. Zeiss camera is superb. The battery does last 74hours. The screen can be seen in sunlight. A bargain at just over $US100.00. Call quality excellent with AT&T. Speakers loud and clear. Goodbye to Android virus and malware. 'It is not right for Microsoft to produce a high spec low price phones to persuade people to leave android', an S5 owner stated. Only drawback is a bit complicated to use, with certain procedures, such as downloading and installing ring tones.

  • It's big but people enjoy that, and the 640 XL is light for its size. Other than that I do agree with you. Apart from the screen size and glance screen everything was a pretty bad experience: 1. Sluggish UI, stutters throughout the interface randomly 2. 1GB of RAM killed the phone. Opening 5 tabs in the Edge browser caused it to crash. 3. Snapdragon 400 chip can't keep up in today's world (Cortex A7?? Come on!) 4. Extremely limited Windows Store apps, and the proper, newest Facebook app doesn't support below 2GB of RAM. 5. Camera was pretty good but slow, especially when taking HDR photos which took forever to process. Seems bad, but remember that this phone was from 2015 and remember that the price of owning one of these phones brand new is very affordable. It gets the job done but don't expect miracles.

  • This is the worst phone I have ever owned. It is big and heavy, the Apps are clunky and rarely work. FaceBook shuts down every time you try to read a post or upload photos. The camera is not great quality. The store never works, and you can't download any of the apps. Will be glad to replace this phone

  • It happens more and more that Windows does not open apps, like whatsapp or Office Note, and I have to restart the phone. This makes the phone unreliable and NOT a pleasure to work with.

  • creators update is now available. update yours now. it makes my 640xl faster...

  • I like a lot Windows Nokia Lumia Smartphones. I had the 520, the 635, the 640 and now my favorite the Lumia 640 XL. It's a Great Device!!M

  • I have Microsoft 640 XL mobile. today my problem is last night mobile charge then 4'o clock disconnect mobile in charging, but i used mob error show this. "The device has been locked for security reasons. connect your device to a power source for at least two hours and then restart it to try again" please solve this problem

  • anyone knows how to use aux cable selfie stick with this? mine is not working. . .

  • hey Microsoft!!!, just one advice. . . . . STOP MAKING WINDOWS PHONES !!!. Ustand nowhere infront of android. and u know it deep down.

  • another one terrible weakness Offline GPS location searching always not working. It always returned a message: We seemed unable to find your location.

  • great phone and good battery, i like this phone

  • Almost 2 years, good signal reception, good camera both front and rear, best for music, very good battery life, the problem is with the apps, just apps, lol

  • How to check there is virus on phone

  • can it be tracked if stolen

  • Hi I don't recommend nokia 640xl because more app match for iPhone phone or android phone when you upgrade to windows 10 , the navigation is very very poor. I wish if I could have been able to refund it .Thanks

  • It features are very good

  • See YouTube videos (how to make use jio sim in windows phone)

  • Same here bro.....☹

  • Not good this phone lumia640 xl...because all India jio using..and me..time pass.. a . How to support jio sim...pls rlpy dear lumia team

  • It is a very good phone! I like this very much!

  • I have had this phone for over 2 years and it works better now then when i got it, thanks to win 10. It have got better over time even this year camera takes fast photos, with better quality then before and phone over all runs smoother. Microsoft don't have a app for everything, but most things like YouTube can you pin on you start screen. You can connect you Gmail to the standard mail client, witch is easy to use and works well. Besides with a display of 5.7" you can easily use and se the full pc- version of internet, if you don't like mobile- version of internet. Every app is not to be found in the store, like snapchat, for me is not a big deal, but fore some it is. This phone can easily do most oft the things a computer can do, and that's what I expected from it. When I bought it i was seeing it as a cheap smartphone wit most features, now i think it's comparable to the best phones of the market. Everyone has their own opinion and needs but this phone has grown to me and it's has a reasonable price as a plus. My usual tasks when i use it is phone calls, mail, sms, mms, messenger, Spotify, photos, office, surfing on the internet and it never fails on that tasks. My favorite functions is the big display and the big keyboard that comes with it, that have a virtual "joystick" and a easy change langue slide, and the standard smartphone stuff.

  • I am using this 640 XL lte from last one year I am happy with the performance and compare with other phones it is much better. but Microsoft(windows app) is not providing correct update on time. getting hang always even using camera ( all the software are windows apps). So feeling bad to continue in windows phone

  • I have been using this Phone for over one year now and its whole lost of mess. Slow in app switching even when making calls its take time for u to see the person has answered. After the current windows 10 update, Facebook & Instagram is not user friendly. Shazam too is not working anymore.... Guys I don't really know if Microsoft is really going to produce again. I have used windows phone from Nokia Lumia 520 to 640xl but feel very bad now and decided to move to Andriod...

  • Don't make update to windows 10...is to slow,to much lagging, all the app run to slow....i make an update to windows 10....after 2 i make a dawngrade

  • yes dear you have to save all data on backup go to setting and backup your data . after then update to windows 10.1

  • Guys...its an awesome mobile...superb battery...camera..some app issues but overall great...3 months now...I just need an answer...should I definitely need to save all my data before updating windows 10...???? big thnx in advance

  • I'm using it since 2 years camera quality is not good in low light except that every thing is fine.it is good in multi-tasking.battery was long lasting minimum 1day 6hrs.,safe browsing.8/10 rating

  • Updated My Lumia 640xl windows 10 no contacts will be saved ??? Why

  • Yes, you can use install WhatsApp. Download it from Windows Store.

  • Always set iso to the lowest. Then the shutter speed will automatically adjust to the lighting. It works for me

  • Please inform WhatsApp can be activated in this model. I'm trying but not able to install.

  • Can u tell me which settings u use for photography...??

  • How are your data speeds,since it's a 3G device? I'm also in Malaysia at the moment and that's a good deal!

  • I just purchased this phone only $80(RM359 in Malaysia). Then update to windows 10 about 1GB data (because win10 more apps supported). Here details: 1) Pros - Camera & Camcorder quality same or better than iphone 6 plus. - Battery long lasting. - Speaker louder. - Double tap to wake, glance screen & sunlight readability. - Microsoft Edge can open mobile website perfectly. - Microsoft maps offline just fine & acceptable. - Audio DAC just great for high end earphones. - Apps can move on sdcard. - Never feel overheat. 2) Cons - Apps like whatsapp & Instagram feel like old version. - No apps for Google maps,Gmail,YouTube,Drive,ebay. Or local banking. (You need better internet line to open via Microsoft edge browser). - only can multitasking 7 apps. - Too big. Hard to type some personal note. - Made in Vietnam (check all functioning before buy it,i got faulty set before purchased) This phone makes me less wasting time playing social media. So i like it or hate it sometimes.

  • Sometimes i have the same problem.when this happens i turn off the phone and use the microsoft charger.I tryed with different Wiko charges and some have this problem and others no. It´s a good phone

  • i din't trust the opinion here, so i bought it . the camera really horrible at indoor shooting even with enough lighting. can't trust my eyes ~

  • Is this better than a Microsoft lumia 650?

  • Lumia 640XL 4G support....?

  • I am using the phone from more than one year, too many problems faced till now. there is software issues, on windows 8.1 platform I had too much problems in application crashes and and in windows store application is just for showing purpose actually not working in the smart phone. I also had a worst experience with the service part, phones original charger was malfunctioned in just 6 months. I went to service center for the same, they took 2 months to replace it, after so much follow-ups. after 2 months I got the new charger which always showing your device is charging slowly use original charger. Still the phone is very slow and it takes lots of time to switching between apps. I tried to sell it in the market, but no value i am getting for the phone.

  • Hi, there fiend, it can be ours good from this stop. Trying wow phone wow, is not the road on your grass area. Ok. So I can see it from the side and he tells it.

Good touch 5., Super Camera ( In Daylight) Yes there is an issue with the WIFI Otherwise its perfect. Using this Phone More then a year, No problem, But some People have many problem with this phone because of android .....

  • What can i enjoy with 640xl

  • These comments only prove that ms phones are not for just anyone.. it's always like that.. if you don't understand what actually a ms phone is for who asked u buy? U guys are looking for play store.. hello it's not android.. it's win10. Y didn't u read the phone specifications before u buy? This is pathetic to read such comments.. this phone is not made for you.. go and buy an android and stop complaining.

  • I'm very disappointed with this phone, the data connection is very weak... I just discovered it when my wifi device was loss...

  • Playstore only for Android, you cant install it in Windows

  • how to setup playstore on nokia xl ? plz ans me

  • whether it works with 4g and lte or not ols do suggest me to upgrade or how can i upgrade this 640xl to 4g and lte

  • This is the worst smartphone ever made and i have tried them all.. The last year or so have been the most disappointing period of my life long phone experience.. I can't use my speed trap app, and I can't use my gps, my digital map has changed so many times I can't remember the name of it and so on.. Not even the voice navigation works and all that is a big problem because i am so poor i only have a motorcycle and that means since I've got this phone everything got allot harder.. Make ASTORIA rise again.. You need it because you suck so very painful hard right now.. I used to love Windows but it is very difficult now.. Try to get som of the new software you realize working first. You are becoming lazy and honestly I'm beginning to get very pissed of on you because you are constantly lying and promising things you can't do. Make good decisions and software again and stop trying to be the robot or the fruit it is done and it works so if anyone wants that you would not have been the choice.. Put the APK software back, send lying Phil Spencer and that other greedy dude home and try to be great again.. Almost all my friends that used these systems are very tired but why bother with shifting when it's all shitt.. The closed "Ecosystem" software system is in the way for anything to emerge and be the next big thing and it is making it very expensive.. Come on now and stop being arrogant and start to make the best software again. And Microsoft i really think you owe me a new phone, an Xbox one that can do the stuff you said it would do when you gladly took my money and delayed i a year and you owe me a Windows that could do anything of the promised things like backwards compatibility.. I have allot of programs that doesn't work and seriously it is monumental stupid to upgrade a computer to a version that can do less.. Make my shit work and stop being smug.. Give me a job if you really find it so hard.. Do something right now..

  • My lumia only charges at low power, I think there is a connection problem. Any ideas.

  • Its a good smathphone

  • is this phone support calling system in messenger??

  • plz 4G Updeat Time

  • I hate this! Can I go back?

  • I Bought this phone year ago. The hardware is good but the camera (In low light) and applications sucks. And the worse thing is that i cant not create any word, excel or power point file for free (WHICH WE CAN DO ON ANDROID )even this is Microsoft phone. Android phones are a lot better in every aspect. You can't connect pen drive with this phone.

  • Hi frnds,i used this phone from april 2015.i fpund some issue with the wifi.plz tell me if anybody know about it. I connected my phone with my wifi but it doesn't get speed and disconected in my room on secnd floor first i thought it was the wifi issue but all other phone (android specially)get good speed and stay connected to wifi even in my room i don't whether it is still my phone problm or wifi problm.. It happens not only with my wifi but with any wifi it doesn't gave good speed while any other phone can do........

  • hello u got any solution .... plz tell me. and thanks in advance

  • This is the bargain smartphone of our time. Two additions are essential, though. One. Get a 128GB microSD card and go to settings to have EVERYTHING use that card--apps, pictures, data, etc. Two. Go to the store and get the upgrade advisor so you can upgrade to Windows 10 (free). The W10 upgrade adds features and capabilities to the phone, even the camera. So $100 for the phone and $40 for the microSD card, and you have a 128GB smartphone with MS Word, Excel, and Powerpoint included, plus OneDrive and OneNote...for $140. My wife just bought an iPhone 7 Plus 128GB from AT&T for $870. If I were eager to end our marriage, I could discuss the intelligence of that purchase with her. :-) This W10 phone can run SonicWALL NetExtender and MS Remote Desktop. Get a Bluetooth keyboard from Amazon for $20 or less, and you have a mini-mini mobile workstation. With Netflix new downloadable movies and TV, you can download entertainment using wifi and watch on the airplane. The only drawback I've found to this phone is the same one that any Windows Phone has: limited 3rd party apps. I really miss the Chase Bank app and Net Analyzer to use on the job. If you don't have a smart phone and want to try without a 2nd mortgage on your house to get one, or if you're just sick and tired of paying either criminally high prices for a smartphone or alternatively rip-off phone plan rates to pay even more for the phone when it's all done, this is a great way to go.

  • The phone is good except camera quality, it's not worth 13500 when I purchased 1 year back. Disappointed with cam, apart everything like battery back up is fine

  • Can anyone suggest if Microsoft Lumia 640 XL Supports Jio SIM with windows 10 Version

  • Disappointed with the front camera. Phone is fine in resolution, OS and back camera. but front camera or image processing for 5 megapixel front camera is worse than 0.3 megapixel camera. I don't know is it a software issue or the hardware.

  • No. Its doesn't support otg.

  • It is true for NiCD batteries in the past, but the Li batteries are working differently. You don't have to charge it up to 100% and the efficiency is the better at 80-87%.

  • The battery only charges to 69% ... The problem is (most likely) the battery itself. How the battery was charged initial. If the battery is not charged to 100% it will affect its behavior afterwards. Buy a new battery. The brand "ONITE" are reasonably priced (my lumia 640 battery was $14 on Amazon. (always good to have a spare battery, even if it only partially charges).

  • phone is good but sometimes restart automatically and speed is slow

  • Mobile flash .in Nokia care I am also faced this problem

  • Does microsoft lumia 640 xl support otg

  • Does Microsoft Lumia 640 xl support otg

  • maybe you can check the settings

  • Yes. I am using 4g all the time

  • Put jio sim......turn off other connection..turn on jio connection..

  • I upgrade to windows 10,all is fine,but i dont get msg notifications on my screen,why? Could someone help me.Thanks

  • I'ts not really your phone. I agree, on an interface level, Windows 10 phone is wonderful. I love live tiles. I love how apps are opened and closed. All icons on iPhone and Android look the same to me now, I hate iPhone's interface process and I never know if an app is closed in Android. Unfortunately, it seems some Microsoft developers are out of their minds. Crash, crash, crash. Microsoft Windows has always been associated with unexpected crashing, and I guess that legacy is just too hard for them to let go. Plus, think about this, who but the deranged, would code a Photos app where you were not allowed or able to change the file name of a photo - in the Photo app!? Yes, I'm sure there is a reason, but no, Microsoft, it is NOT a good one, no matter what it is.

  • I can't install any free call app. Bec its too heavy or I can't find it in the store except viber and Skype.

  • I faced behavior like that when being a member of MS Insider programm. After resetting the device to Windows Phone 8 and an update to Windows 10 Mobile official release, everything works like a charm.

  • i was been using the updated win 10 version on my lumia 640 xl dual for 3 months and finally faced lots of issues on most of all apps , overall phone is slow with malfunction . now after getting back to win 8.1 , i feel its fast good and light less featured with no bugs . i see this handset hardware is not efficient to handle win10

  • use a fast memory sd card class 10

  • I've had it with the 640 XL and Windows 10. I love Windows but his phone would have to improve dramatically to move up to unusable. Apps like phone, camera and photos crash at least once before they can be used. Camera will crash repeatedly while attempting to auto focus on a difficult subject. Messaging app loses or doesn't receive about 10% of the messages sent to me. Attempting to share photos via any mechanism fails about 33% of the time. Many apps crash unless I reboot the phone every couple of days. I try to use the groups feature in the people app (which I love) except that my groups just randomly disappear. You cannot turn live tiles off. Well you can click the slider switch in the app settings but they don't actually turn off and my start screen looks like its having some kind of seizure. There are a lot of really cool features in Windows 10 mobile that would be absolutely stunning if they worked. Maybe I got a bad phone but it is so bad that I was literally looking on google for instructions to remove windows and install android. Today was the last straw. While attempting to download the Garmin app for my step tracker the phone locked up and started vibrating constantly. I let it go for five minutes before pulling off the back cover and removing the battery. I did try every button combination that I had ever read about to resolve the endless vibrating but nothing worked. I'm going to reset it, sell it and buy whatever android phone I can afford. Anybody want to buy a lightly used Lumia 640 XL?

  • what about resuming and loading issue while opening any app like whatsapp, message

  • i have a 640xl running on windows 8.1 which is great but it only charges to 69% even if it spends the day charging. i have used different chargers but i still get the same result

  • How to use JIO sim in this phone

  • I have used this phone last one month the experience of one month is superb its a great phone after upgrade windows 10 one thing I note that their is no heating problem works great in windows 10 yesterday I have got new update of windows 10 rings ie 14393.321.i am a big fan of windows phone i also used lumia 535,540&650.lumia 535&540 is good phone but in 650 some issue like battery,camera,display blink etc but in lumia 640xl is very very good phone i advise for windows lover go for it in lte my phone is not lte.

  • After Updating Windows 10 in Microsoft Lumia 640 XL already installed apps means Windows 8.1 not working properly... please tell me what should i do??

  • Is mobile support to 4g

  • Windo 10

  • Yeah it's have new features and looks are very cool also

  • Dhane dont install windows insider , instead you install upgrade advisor from store ,from there you can upgrade your os to windows 10 and can run it as smoothly :)

  • it's an awesome phone now and even its supporting windows 10 , then what are you waiting for , upgrade your os and enjoy ur windows phone :) :) like never before :) ;)

  • Do it via uppgrade advisor, verry simple!!

  • Of course it's possible to do a screenshoot, volyme up + lock, then your done!! I have one, it's a verry nice phone, good qality and value for money. Especially now when it runs windows 10

  • Nope, WP is safe from viruses. Sure, malicious code can be inserted into anything, but not with an actual virus behaviour. That error is caused by a different folder tree system, mostly after using that card in another phone without formatting it before introducing it in the lumia.

  • when will be update come for window 10 on 649xl I don't want to install with window insider

  • Is screen shooting possible with this phone?I have tried but have not succeeded.please help.

  • If ur Microsoft phones r asking to scan & fix ur card.. It might be a virus issue... To avoid that...before removing ur SD cars go setting & chose remove SD card...this will help..

  • I've been using this for over half a year now and I'm quite happy with it. (My first choice would have been the BlackBerry Priv, but that was too pricey.) The Windows Store has all the apps I need; the only apps I can't find there and I use on my Android company phone are Pokémon GO and Tango. (Obviously if you want all the latest fancy apps, you'd still better off with iPhone or Android.) Great build quality, same level as BlackBerry. Camera is amazing; I stopped using my big Nikon. I'm surprised people complain about lack of 4G; I can see in settings that highest connection speed is 4G - that's what I can see when I'm in good coverage area (I'm on EE). On the downside, talk quality could be improved; the sound is tinny both in the headset and the speaker. Oddly, when playing music or videos it provides crystal clear sound. Alarm volume cannot be set to gradual and it comes over a bit too loud to my liking. All in all I would buy it again.

  • I had purchased the phone on November 2015 Its a good phone but the call recording facility is absent in the phone and this feature is seems to be most important in today's world. It really frustrated me that such a big phone does not have this feature and computers me to buy a small phone having this facility. Though windows has inverter the feature in its new phones If windows thinks about their phones purchased by the customer just before their release of windows 10 it will be a great help

  • How strange is to,this day age i thought 4g

  • Lumia 640xl is a beast of a mobile. It is one of the best selling ones of Lumia series. However signal and data connectivity issues with some batch of lumia 640XL is well documented across forums. But your problem seems to be different and unheard of. First of all, have you updated the phone to latest build? If not, do it first. That is first thing that you need to do when you buy any phone. After latest update is installed, reset your phone and start fresh. Hopefully, you should have a better experience. If not, it might be m ore of a hardware issue. Take it to service center.

  • I had the problem with the battery draining, but make sure you have the latest software upgrades , they seem to cure it. Get a large memory card ( I have 64 Gig Extreme) and transfer everything possible on to it, it transfers fine. You will always need to keep about 1.2 gig free on internal space to upgrade and for smooth running. Also close windows manually in Windows Edge, if you have too many open this doesn't help. My 640Xl is working fine now after a bit of work, good luck

  • Micromax lumia 640 xl is a superb phone.. It has an awesome back camera.. Big and bright screen.. Loud speaker... Large battery and a beautiful windows interface which never legs and hangs... U can play any hardcore game on it easily like SIX GUNS, modern combat 5, overkill,asphalt 8 AIRBORNE... Though it has 1 gb ram but it gives better performance than any 2gb android phone. You will never run out of space because it can transfer almost all apps to memory card.. Windows phone are easy to use and the system is so much secured unlike android app where any spy app can leak your private informations. Windows mobile never compromise with your security. Yes if you want to download useless 3rd party apps thn you can go for android. Otherwise its a superb choice just because of poor marketing of windows phone thsese phones couldnt get success like android... One more thing ppl who are using windows phone i want to tell them that,WINDOWS 10 FOR MOBILE HAS LAUNCHED OFFICIALLY... Just go to marketplace and download 'UPDATE ADVISOR' app and update your windows 8.1 to windows 10 which is superb.. Yes do a hardrest of your phone after update.. Dont go with windows insider programme... Thanks...

  • Windows 10 for mobile has released officially..download 'UPGRADE ADVISOR' app from marketplace and update your mobile.. Dont use WINDOWS INSIDER program.. After updating to windows 10 do a hard reset... Then enjoy windows 10. Its cool.. All apps will be Updated and you will enjoy the built..

  • after almost 8 months of use , my opinion : another Microsoft low cost and high value phone , great camera , outstanding battery , and with win 8.1 no lag at all ! , and as usual the only problem with WPs are the apps , but you all know about that already , other than that the phone is awesome . I love Microsoft (nokia ) phones for many reasons , the most important is the service they give you anywhere on earth ! note about win 10 update , you might face some problems due to that the os isn't really finished yet , I upgraded and after 3 weeks went back to win 8.1 like nothing happened , my advice dont upgrade until its finished ! and you should be in the safe side !

So far I have used the Nokia Lumia 630 and very satisfied, so I was sent to the quality of Windows Phones. Looking at the net and thinking to which phone to buy ??? Huawei p9 lite; Xiaomi Redmi 3 32GB Pro; Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Pro 16GB or Microsoft Lumia 640 XL LTE .S. I am interested in your opinion and recommendations. Thank you.

  • You can roll back on 8.1 using windows device recovery tools on pc and after u can installed 8.1 ..then u can go frm store and download upgrade advisor and get officially upgrade windows 10 without any bug

  • you updated it wrong. you got insider. you have to roll back to 8.1 with a pc app called lumia device recovery( or something like that) then install upgrade advisor on your phone and accept the terms of it. now official windows 10 will be installed on your phone.

  • with latest updates the phone is amazing. there is no bug anymore. i have 10586.420 build and I'm really really satisfied with it. most of the apps are rebuilt and working great with amazing quality.apps like instagram, facebook, messenger, whatsapp, mytube(youtube), specter(snapchat), Spotify, tune in radio, twitter, 9gag mobile,line, viber, audio cloud(sound cloud), shazam, vlc and many others are now rebuilt and full of other oses features. every month new update comes to these phones and they are getting even better. instagram and facebook are a little faster on my 950. but 640xl handles them well too. just a little frame drop here and there. it's because of the way they converted these two apps. it would get better and better with future updates of OS and these two apps together

  • Are you sure Mr? I am also using this phone..!! And it works fine.. I think you have download alot of apps in it's SD card that is why it is hanging, please move apps and games to your phone memory instead of the SD card. However you should try a soft reset on your phone (Note: This function will not erase your any data wheather it is stored on the phone or on the SD card) To soft reset your phone, press and hold the volume down button+the power button for about 10 sec wait for your phone to restart. After that please correct your date and time or the phone will not work properly.. After that if you have signed in to a microsoft account, please synchronise it. After this process your phone should work properly. If it still gives issues, kindly reply.. And please reply me if your problem will get resolved.

  • Mr. Sunil , I too own a Lumia 640 xl . And its been a year and a half and yet I have no issues with it but as your phone is not working as expected you may try resetting your handst which may do the magic

  • Dear Concern, I am writing here as i hope someone can help me in this regards. I have wasted my 13,000/- by purchasing MICROSOFT LUMIA 640 XL. This mobile is hanging almost 10 times a day, i need to restart many times to set it rite because i have no option as it is freezed. Because of this i am wasting my time in office and most of the official work is delayed. Basic apps like whatsapp also not opening after many attempts. It shows notification that received whatsapp message but, it doesn't open. I am fed up by this phone and i want my amount refund as i beleive it is not going to be resolved. If i had spend 13,000/- taking an android Mobile rather than spending on this handset, i could have got far better experience that this and with better usage. I trusted the brand name MICROSOFT. But, i was wrong this is the worst experience of my life in mobiles. I earlier used blackberry, Android and never faced just difficulty in using the phone. it takes hours to open any app. Before purchasing i was confused to purchase MICROSOFT or I Phone(Apple). As per market feedback, i thought it would be good to take microsoft mobile as it will be useful for me for official purpose also. But , i was wrong in my choice. I expect value for money. 13,000/- amount is not less. This kind of mobile must be sold only for 4000-5000/- only. I want update from you as i trusted your brand. What help can i get in getting refund amount. Sunil. 9000938128.

  • When I use the photo grid, my phone does not access the Gallery and says that there are no photos. what can i do?

  • I "had the same problem". After upgrade my contacts disappeared. nbut as it happened in the evening, I let my phone on during the night, thinking about fixing it in the morning. When I woke up, voila, contacts (and music etc...) were back! Apparently, it just took so long to the phone to reindex all data into Windows 10 format.

  • Hello Kas. Request to read my another post of today. Perhaps you may be able to get your contact list after following those steps. Good luck.

  • Ignore all the "Â"...seen in my above post. I do not know how they appeared. GSMarena team may have an answer to it. Sorry for the inconvenience.

  • Hello Raj. Sorry to hear that. This happens if the upgrade procedure is not followed properly. Try the following corrective measures : 1. Ensure that you have a wifi available. 2. Let the Wifi on your Windows phone remain ON. 3. Switch off your phone. 4. Now switch ON the phone. 5. After successful start-up wait for 5 minutes and check if the contacts are seen. Relax if you see them. Move on to next step if not. 6. On a separate good computer (connected to internet) Log on to www.outlook.com and use your log in and password to access your outlook account. 7. On the upper left corner, hit the ‘People’ button. You would see your contact list (This is true if you used a Windows phone running 8.1 before your upgrade). Give sigh of relief. :) because it means you are out of ‘danger zone’ 8. Log out from the outlook account without making any changes. 9. Catch hold of your mobile. 10. Scroll down on the home screen from top to bottom to see the Notification area (NA). Above the NA you would see various buttons. Tap on All Settings. 11. Choose “System” option followed by “About” 12. There’s a button “Reset your phone”. Tap it. 13. You would see a warning. Uncheck the “Also erase SD card” and Tap ‘Ok’ 14. Your phone would be reset to apply factory settings. Remember that wifi should be ON during all this operation. When the reset is done, switch off your phone and then start it again (switch ON). You would be pleased to see your Contact list restored. It works. Believe me, I had faced this problem on my second Lumia phone while upgrading from Win8.1 to Win10. My first Lumia got upgraded smoothly without this problem. Now both my Lumia phones are well in order with all their contact list intact. Good luck.

  • Hello buddy. Cool down. Admit that you need to understand how to use mobile phone. No harm in admitting that. Absolutely fine. Windows 10 doesn't suck at all for your complaint. Go to 'People' app. By default that shall be available on your start screen. You see all the contacts of your phone. Just tap in search field and start typing the name of the contact you wish to search. And you will see all the available contactd with that letters. That's it. Choose the desire one. Of course, you can pin the frequently needed contacts to the start screen. If at all, you do not see any contacts (those were available before upgrading) let know that. Even that can be handled. Good luck friend and request to refrain from blankly saying 'Windows 10 sucks'. Learn it to use it.

  • Hey new Lumia650 is totally dumb compared 640 xl.... I am planning to buy this phone,but i am bit confused coz this phone released a year ago. Is it worth to buy this old hardware phone compared to new Lumia 650 new hardware

  • I have updated my Lumia 640 xl to windows 10.For updating u need to download upgrade advisor app from store. Open the app and check for the update.First update is of latest version of denim.After updating latest denim again u have to check for update in upgrade advisor app.Now there will be an update of windows 10.Download it and install it.It takes time to download and install . First update take Min. 3 hrs.and windows 10 update take 6 hrs. So be patient. You need to have wifi of good speed and it takes 1.25 Gb approximate.There is no need of soft or hard reset.Your all data will be as it is after update. But saving on SD card will be good.Windows. 10 is way better than windows 8.1.Camera quality improved and so many other things.Battery will last 8-9 hrs if u use internet all day.I don't think any change in battery but the phone user interface is great and u will notice how better is 10 than 8.1. So definitely update to Windows 10. Just needed a good speed data ( wifi).

  • I know it should be done anyways, but we should follow some steps before upgrading as I did so my phone has not any issue after upgrade to win10. Here is what I suggest 1. Factory reset your phone 2. Check for the update in same version(i.e. 8.1) 3. Open Store, check for updates for app you have on your phone. Let the store update everything if any available. 4. Restart your phone 5. Install app "Upgrade Advisor app". It will automatically search the upgrade eligibility of your phone. If you have already done the upgrade and having abnormal behaviour just do a rollback to 8.1 and follow all these steps as I have mentioned above.

  • i am having problem in upgrading to windows 10.. First it get stuck at 8% later on it displays an error message 801882d1 ...what that means

  • Yes it is possible to ugrade to Windows 10.

  • I have upgraded to Windows10 day before yesterday after getting to know about the availability of the upgrade from their Customer Care (020-30303838). And am really happy to see the changes. A 3-step guide to upgrade: WiFi is a MUST. Move ahead only in that case. 1) Create a backup of your mobile set. (All Settings -> Backup -> Backup now). 2) Go to Store and search for the app "Upgrade Advisor" from Microsoft. 2) Install this app. 3) Run it from the App list. It will do some processing to check if your handset is ready for the upgrade. A message is flashed accordingly. Suppose it says, Ready. Follow the on screen instructions. 4) Go to All Settings and choose Update where you will see a message, An update is available. Choose 'Update now' 5) It downloads the patch. 6) After the download is done, the actual installation starts. The phone cannot be used during this. 7) After the installation is done, it says so. 8) It is recommended to Restart the phone after you reach the above step Start using. The whole process above took nearly 70 minutes in my case. Wonderful changes were felt after the upgrade. 1) The UI (home screen) is clearly distinguishable due to the vibrant tiles. 2) Bit faster loading of apps and pleasant appearance. 3) Music player has changed from 'Music' (earlier) to 'Groove Music'. Nice UI 4) WhatsApp message action alerts have changed. 5) Contacts managing is better. and so on... Am still exploring. Am not a technowiz like many others. But all these are my own experiences. One 'con' experience after the upgrade: Multiple sms / conversation selection (checking an arrow) seem to have vanished. Am going to check with customer care if that has to be separately enabled or is it a bug. Good day. With Love. shreepadg

  • What about battery life????

  • It's worth 30$ n USA, pathetic, 250$year ago, said to receive windows 10. Nothing. Never ever even as free consider to donate itit to charity. Shame Microsoft

  • i got this phone on december 14th 2015 and updated it to windows 10 on January 5th 2016, using it for a month, i had this issue i should put my phone on charge for 2 hours or more before i can restart the phone to unlock the phone, i lost much business and $$ but kept mute, in the first week of february the screen went shaking, right now i can see through the software images..... will i have to get a new screen?

  • How to on ambient light sensor any body tell me

  • What's ever it is today, specs outdated, 150$ is well but Chinese are much presentable. Wait for Surface cells, mid year, could be game changer. Till then sit tight for upgrade to 10, something is wrong somewhere as MS is delayed with out reasons. Think is all jumbled up twice withdrawal of upgrades. Much be hotchpotch.

  • If anybody updated to windows10 mobile please tell me did they ruined camera app or removed pro settings from camera app?

  • Please dont buy this phone. I have been use it for 3 weeks . Its the worset phone i have ever. Too slow ' hanging all the time ' it takes forever to charge ' im really upset.

  • pair ur bluetooth then at menu has a transfer my data icon

  • I find a new smartphone and I'm user of the Lumia's,I need this new smartphone!!!!!!

  • At least I found some who better know about camera setting. Rather that blaming any camera its better to have proper knowledge. The camera of Lumia 640XL is just awesome (i.e. Carl Zeiss lens). I have also tried in ISO 64 and shutter speed 1/4s it delivers awesome quality in low light.

  • Had an Android phone before this a Samsung Galaxy and was a little hesitant moving to windows but windows is so easy to use for everything. Menu is in alphabetical order and lets me do everything I want to. I use the Handset for my business so battery life is important. The battery gives me almost 3 days with my usage so I am very happy with that.

  • Don't buy 640 because in camere quilty it is very poor.

  • i think u can upload ur contacts to one drive from ur android device. n from one drive to ur win. lumia phone. may be it will work

  • yes , ur right camera in indoor is sucks.. very bad quality and in night both front n back cam image quality is poor .

  • Camera also very good for low light images. Indoors at night,Just set ISO to 64-100 and shutter speed to 1/13-1/8 secs depending on lights.For outdoors at night set ISO to 100-200 and shutter speed to 1/8-1/4 secs depending on lights.Just try it and you will get amazing pics.

  • you will not suffer any problems if you just upgrade to windows 10

  • To transfer your contacts, add your google account (where you previously saved your contacts from your android phone)

  • for past few days I am not able to copy large video files which is recorded by my phone to my pc which runs on windows 7..but at first I was able to do this..but now when i try to copy my files it says "cannot copy files because the device attached with the device is not functioning".. how to solve this problem..had you face this problem?? plz help me guyz..

  • Really want to buy this phone..but I'm confused between lumia 640 and 650!

  • This phone has many bugs like facebook donot work properly such as photos can't be uploaded etc... This phone has a very high price but low specifications... Rather than this set,Q mobile s3 is cheeper and extremely good... Don't buy this Nokia Lumia 640 xl

  • Using L640xl from November. Nice looking handset. Big good,smoth,tough,bright display. No any lag,hang,bug ,crash free apps. Gaming experience is good but sometime frame freeze for 2 sec. Played 6 Guns easily. Battery is beast, normal use givs 1.5 to 2 days backup .. heavy use gives full one day backup. Beautiful stable OS. No heating issue,just little warm aftr heavy gaming. Cons :- camera :- both front and back camera gives Cristal clear images natural colour production only in day light but in indoor light it suck, . single flash not sufficient. app limitation. no updates butstill run smoothly, waiting for WINDOWS 10. recommended for all . jai Maharashtra

  • Yes, just download windows insider from store and get windows 10.

  • Ooopppsss don't lying chum. Using this device since July 2015. No issues yet. Camera & all the features are far more greater than Androids. Touch is smooth as butter. No hangs no lags. One of the best budget phones in the world. Highly recommend this. Most of people don't know how to use this mobile. That's the main thing that they‘re posting negative posts about this great device. Apps are also far enough for me. There are no 3rd class apps too. Don't buy this unless u don't know how to use this. Thank u.

  • Is it a reliable phone?

  • it is not worth it, I used this phone for over 8 months now, it was running all good but as time passed I really started to miss things that I already had on my previous device which was an android ( Sony Xperia SP), first of all the apps, the apps that already exist aren't 100% functional I don't know why, also there are sill tons of apps and games that aren't available yet, the facebook and the face book messenger for an example they are complete crap, the phone isn't that reliable and will fail you a lot, the browser is crappy as well and the other browsers that you can doenload are crap, and still waiting for the official Windows 10 which was delayed for months now and God know when will it be available, this phone isn't worth the price, the incomplete OS, the messing apps and features, don't buy it, I don't recommend this phone to any one not even those who use simple stuff, screw MSFT they suck at making pretty much everything, their phones are shitty same with their consoles, get an Android or an iOS instead.

  • restart your mobile if its not working than go to in files and your music file and move in other folder

  • Each and day other mobile companies release Android 6 or iOS 9.1.x for their devices. Lumia user has no worries so they are sitting calm. Fool peoples that day is no far longer your most awaited wp10 may shall release on your grave. Act now and open your demand by email, WhatsApp, facebook & twitter post. The more you raise the more quicker you get.

  • Dear all, i bought 640 xl and sold it just after 20 days of usage. Reasons are bad camera in low light i never saw such a bad camera in a smartphone in my life, bad touch if you use it slowly you will find it behaves awfully, lot of bugs like what will you do of a phone which does not alert you that you have received a message, sometimes crackling sound in the ringer (hardware problem), plz dont consider this phone over any android phone because you will not find bugs in android as you will in windows phone.

  • Read reviews on J7 640XL's problem is a yellow spot on the top of the screen (from overheating of this part) J7's problem is that it shuts down and not starting before you reconnect the battery.

I really find w10 is awesome but unfortunately i dont get the battery back up i used to get on it snd while charging it gives a message that " your devices is charging slowly." I do use the original charger. Tried some other chargers also but the end result was same. Can anyone help me? I dont want to lose my best companion just because of this reason.

  • Haha..biggest joke of the month.. Skype is owned by Microsoft dude.. Get some facts then comment.

  • T-Mobile Poland start rolling out the Windows 10 Mobile upgrade to the Lumia 640

  • Thanks a lot..

  • Microsoft lumia 640 XL does not support viber or skype video call

  • is good

  • Lumia 640 xl

  • Is whatsup working in this

  • I want this Lumia 640xl .so any one sales send the mobile number

  • Thank u so much..

  • Hi @Betty007, it is a matter of personal preference. Both are very close competitors. Theoritically, J7's GPU and CPU are much better and since many Android apps are optimized for high end hardware, and if you play alot of games then you get benefit out of it. Apart from that both have almost very similar specs and price as well I guess. Although 640XL's display is not AMOLED yet it is still very sharp I would say. Now the only deciding factor would be the OS..If u are like me bored with Android and wanna try something new and stand out from the crowd and also can't stand with phone being sluggish or laggy, then Windows Phone should defnitely be your next choice. Apple also wins in this respect but when it comes to cost then definitely it is out of question. If you are fond of Android, favor all those fancy widgets, always wanna test and try out variety of apps then J7 is recommended. So bottom line for your question : The OS is the one that matters here

  • They again announces new build coming on 12 Jan 2015,instead of user release. Microsoft forget that numbers are infinite. Means No final build shall ships untill world ends!! Ok we are not worry but then none alive to use wp10. Haha

  • If the error is the one wich pops at the time of email log in please follow the steps. -Go to reset phone and get bck to factory settings. -once phone restarts u can go ahead and put in ur microsoft email address and password. -post which all the flies will download and automatically phne will update will find no more error

  • i hav microsoft lumia 640xl but i cannt download . when i go for download some its show store error code 80070057. How to solve it??

  • Thanks "Windows Phone User" for a neat review. This is how the posts should appear on this kind of forums. Not liking a phone is absolutely fine. But very often we see slandering for no reason. Your post definitely sounds productive and useful to actually decide whether to buy this phone or not. Good day.

  • Hi there. I had the same problem with my Lumia 535. I took it to Nokia and they repaired it saying it was the light sensor near the front camera that needed replacement. 3 months since then and I've never experienced the problem since

  • My daughter had a similar problem, I backed up certain things and did a factory reset, hasn't happened again not sure if that did it or something else give it a try

  • download stop restart app from windows phone store and open it.the app will display whether your phone needs to be repaired online through update or not.follow the process given in it..

  • This may be due to some faulty apps. You just delete some apps that you have recently installed and check internal memory.

  • How can I find downloads files I have used files app and did not find my files also

  • My lumia 640 XL is restarting randomly. I have tried every thing even upgraded to windows 10 but facing same issue my phone is still in warranty. if any of u guys can help me out I would really appreciate it.

  • Bro I'm in a great confusion.. Galaxy J7 or Lamia 640 XL

  • I have been using this model for more than a month now and as expected I am about to say that this a very worthy purchase. I was on android since Gingerbread (ver 2.3) days which dates back to 2011. After using Android for about 4 yrs+ I got sick of it. Android gets better in every new version only in terms of features and innovation but the snappiness can never come close to Windows Phone.This is largely attributed to Windows Phone's app handling mechanism.No matter hw good your Android phone is in terms of specs, after all those updates its gonna eat up resources heavily. Let me summarize my opinion on my variant which is 640 XL LTE Dual Sim Pros : 1) Very snappy OS although just 1GB RAM, lagginess or slow down almost never happen 2) Very Good display quality although PPI is low and resolution is not full HD. Display is 5.7inch big yet the available resolution will never disappoint. There's virtually no screen distortion or loss pixels, etc 3) Good battery. I have set the brightness to low. But apart from this, I have my Data on for almost whole day, watch YouTube videos, Insta and FB alot yet the battery still last for a whole day upon a full charge 4) App availability is obviously much lesser than Android or iOS but the ones which are already available at store are mostly good. Lumias come with some exclusives apps like HERE Maps & Here Drive and they are really good. They can beat Google Maps and others in most respects. Microsoft is quite strict in approving new apps at their store and this leads to app quality and security tightness unlike Android where PlayStore is filled with a lot of junk apps and due to popularity, Android is now #1 target for attackers. 4) Speaker is loud and Bass effect can be heard too. Windows Phone 8.1 supports equaliser which can be enabled at Settings and this is convincing for Music Lovers 5) I have not really tested the rear camera thefore not much can be said here. Front Camera is sharp though. Cons (My Personal View & Experience) 1) Transferring contact from old phone is a little problematic. As my sim card was already full for some reason, I tried to transfer my contacts via VCF format from my Xperia SP through bluetooth, my Lumia received it but doesn't open it :( Thankfully, there's a built-in app called "Transfer My Data" where it will automatically fetch contacts(including contact photo) and sms and stores it for you. 2) No built-in file manager (already fixed in Windows 10 Mobile) out of the box. However there are many good ones at store, so you can download one. 3) Music Player and Video Player aren't as innovative as those on Android and iOS. But you can download VLC from the store to supplement. 4) To set your own favorite track as Ringtone, your phone has to be connected to PC and place your song to the ringtone folder to enable this. 5) Given headphones and charger in retail box is kinda not so good quality. They look cheap but I don't really mind because the phone itself looks and feels premium in hands. Sincerely, I feel this is the best smartphone I have ever used. I am not bashing Android, it is just general personal opinion. I have a feeling of having a computer in my hands. It never hanged. So far overall very snappy and lightweight too for its dimensions and size. Can't wait for Windows 10 Mobile. I was torn between 640XL and Galaxy J7 but chose this without regrets. I bought this here in Malaysia for RM1099 from Microsoft Retail store. This piece is highly recommended if you u wanna stand out from the typical Android crowd, and want a smartphone with lots of features yet be affordable. Windows 10 is definitely gonna rock this piece :)

  • I like WP phone all the Androide user hate this device due to lack of proper functioning like android so make it more smoother than android

  • Do you have any apps installed in your phone memory...or clear your history and cookies in your browser

  • I can't play 8ball game in my mobile how l can 2 play it in it

  • Well.. I think full n final version of windows 10 will b launched in February 2016. But Microsoft has launched preview version of 10 already.. U can download WINDOWS INSIDER from store n can update ur phone to win 10.. Another thing is tht windows phone r much much better than androids where each phone has different terms n conditions about updates..

  • It's really a good mobile

  • Can you rectify that "2-3 months" for my soul peace irrespective of their actual release.

  • Friends we are needless courage wp10 release whether it will come now or after..because we are pissed off in 2015 of postponement. I took 2k16 proposal not to expect anything from Microsoft. No more sadness cry !!

  • The problem is that Windows 10 mobile is just released as a 'technical preview' only to the insiders and still the OS is under development before releasing it to the general public. Problems with apps (like internet explorer) doesn't have to do anything with a device. You can very well go ahead and get a Lumia 640xl but might I suggest you to wait patiently for the public version of Windows 10 mobile. That should rectify all issues. Hardly, you'll have to wait for 2-3 months for W10M to release, I hope so :)

  • You have to set the options in ShareIt Android (reciever or sender) according to Windows Phone standards :) Dont blame Microsoft for this. You'll have to blame the ShareIt team. Yet I've managed to share files with my friends through shareIt app on my Windows Phone!

  • Move all installed apps installed on your phone memory to your memory card. Go to storage sense and set all storage options to 'SD Card'. Yet your system will occupy approximately 3 GB of your phone storage, when you upgrade to Windows 10 mobile(later) phone storage will be occupied with approximately 4 GB. It is recommended to have 3 GB or more of the phone storage for smooth function :)

  • Plz press button of connect wp/ios button and u r open Wi-Fi

  • Windows shareit is like apple mobile first you on (connect ios or windows phone) option in ur friend android device. And then u goto wifi setting in ur windows phone and on wifi and select ur friend hotspot then u goto shareit app on windows phone and tap recieve

  • kindly tell me about mms settings of xl 640

  • That is because of the application details on your phone, you can try uninstall and reinstall of the apps on your phone; I recommend going for a hard reset, back up the phone and go for a reset.. :)

  • That might be because of the sensor near at the top, if there is any cover or anything on the screen remove it and try

  • I have faced one issue, screen black when making calls in lumia 640. How to fix that issue? can anyone help me?

  • Can lumia 640 XL get 4G update after upgrade to windows 10

  • My phone memory is almost exhausted. No files are saved in phone. Still it consumes much. What can I do better?

  • What kind of phone did your sim card come from if it was Android sometimes you need to contact your carrier when you change to windows, they have to do something extra on their end

  • Good Work.

  • When will window comes for this phone

  • Phone is ok, screen is nice, Internet Explorer stinks, speakers are ok, headphone output decent. Nice a slim higher end look. Camera takes real nice outside pictures and real crappy indoor pictures. At least in auto-mode. I'll be going back to android as Windows is just behind the curb in almost every category.

  • Hi guys.. Good day.. can i ask if what is the remedy for my concern/s, i got my lumia 640 xl a week ago and i noticed that, i can't receive text messages and it needed to be reset before receiving messages. Second, i got involuntary reset like twice a day. and Lastly, my friends kept on calling me but the operator said, that "Im out of service" though my phone is on. Mind to help me guys on this matter. Thank you so much! God bless!

  • It’s (640XL LTE)a very decent and neatly designed phone. The OS 8.1.2 is very good and very fast. I switched from android to Windows phone, and its like a big promotion. No lagging at all. Touch is very good. Screen colours are very bright and good looking. Camera quality and the Lumia camera app is very good. I love it. People say that there’s app gap. But For me all my daily use apps are there. Overall it’s a very different experience as compared to android. One must try it. Waiting for Windows 10 now

  • i m facing problem with share it....i am not able to receive any document pic and movie from shareit........please suggest anybody...if they face same problem with them............many times as per others suggestion i uninstall shereit......and reinstall new version but...problem remain same

  • Seriously thinking about buying 640xl. Only one thing stops me. As WP10 on lumia 630 I have trouble with opening web page in a new tab. Maybe it related it is not finished os yet, or lack of memory. Can you confirm if it happens in 640xl as well, please?

  • Ccplayer best

  • First off, this is the second windows phone that I have owned for personal use. My last one was an htc that lasted a long time and originally sold me on the Windows phone OS. regarding the 640XL, I have had mine for over 3 months and I use it way more than the normal user. This has been a great device for me! I was hesitant to buy it at first because it seemed to be a lot of phone for the price. The screen is large, clear and sharp. The back is removable (a selling point for me) and the battery holds a charge for quite a long time. The processor and memory are sufficient for everything that I have thrown at it so far. The camera is better than I need. AV runs smooth, clear and loud. I know there are phones with the windows OS that are considered "better," but none give you so much for such a great price! I love mine! I would like to add this about the Windows OS: I am personally a huge fan of the windows mobile operating system. My wife recently decided to migrate to Windows Phone from Android. Having only ever used android, and not being very tech-aware, she was unaware that with windows phone she was going to have VERY LIMITED ACCESS to the array of google services that she has come to rely on, and no access to a few at all. If you are like most folks these days and rely on the google armada, you should expect migration to the windows mobile platform to be moderately difficult and frustrating. Almost all of the problems, and subsequent criticism, that new users experience derive from the app selection in the store, or lack thereof, and a lack of simple research. I suggest visiting and taking a good look at what is available. That being said, if you don't mind using a web interface or third party work around "hack-ish" apps to access the majority of your google services, and you have the patience to stick out the process, you will end up loving the windows mobile UI. One thing to remember is that Windows (10) Mobile is ac imputer operating system, not a smart phone UI as you know it. With that comes a customizability that is unparalleled! The settings list is very extensive! My wife gets frustrated when something minor and annoying happens, such as her music turning off when she shuts off her screen. I just show her that the fix is in one of the many settings. This is a nearly-fully functional operating system engineered to work on a mobile device. Everything from visual esthetics to file allocation to even having a little "eraser" style mouse in the keyboard for in-text navigation, proves that this is not a cell phone but rather a step in the evolution of mobile computing. It is a far superior OS than anything that has come before it for the mobile world. Also, having a PC that you are used to using at home or work that currently runs on Windows 10 will significantly aid your migration to Win 10 Mobile. I apologize for my long windedness but it is important to me that users are fully educated before they make the decision. For the sake of the customer and Microsoft both I sincerely hope this helps

  • It's amazing device with a good price . And windows 10 is wonderful on it .

  • Yes i know i m living in pakistan thats y i know the depth of windows phone. We have some solid tech geeks than india. Just go and check the publisher of app. Its by microsoft not by facebook.

  • Thanks for your reply but I didn't complain about Facebook at all. In Pakistan, Facebook is not banned so why it should not be available in store?

  • Go ahead...

  • Hi, does anyone know when will be official release of windows 10 mobile on L640XL? I've heard that it's delayed and it won't be in december . Thanks

  • does 640xl supports otg

  • Here it comes...

  • well I'm interested. I intend buying one in January and want to have a rough idea what I'm getting myself into. This would be my first windows mobile device

  • Hi Ken, I started writing a response to your post and it quickly turned into a good sized paragraph. I do believe it is worthwhile information to have. Would you like me to go ahead and post it?

  • Test? Food?

  • I have had great success using UC Browser as a browser and download manager. Also regarding file management I highly suggest Metro File Manager!

  • The Lumia 640XL is able to receive windows 10 for mobile updates if are registered with the windows insider program. If you sign up for the "Slow Ring" the builds that you receive are really quite stable. Being in the insider program I have been able to progressively adjust to th realities of what's good and bad in our future operating system, and adjust my hopes and expectations accordingly. It does require you to be at least a little active in sending the information that the phone gathers throughout the days to Microsoft and be a little vocal on the forums. I have really enjoyed the experience.

  • Wptorrent

  • To, whoever reading this msg. Either Ma'am or sir. This is special for Windows phone users. I hope most of the users are using Lumia devices whatsoever the model number and year it may be. I presume you as having good technical knowledge and social status as you opted for Windows phone. But here comes the issue. Microsoft is constantly fooling us and cheating us by making to believe that they are releasing windows 10 very soon. But already its year late and still they are postponing their dates. So regarding this issue and irresponsible behaviour, we the windows user are going to protest against the Microsoft by not using their phone for a day and not suggesting their devices to buy to our friends and family. This message is not from any Android fan but from an average user of Windows who is tired of expectations of Windows 10. On the Christmas. 25 th Dec 2015 we will not use our device for a day. This is our protest against Microsoft. Thank you very much And please help us in this mission.

  • U might be living in pakistan thats why you are not getting any fb offical app.There is Fb official app.I am using this phone from last 6 months and there is no problem in this phone.I am heavy gamer and this phone also support heavy games like Asphalt 8,Modern combat 5,Sniper fury.

  • Thanks Bro...

  • Had this for ~4 weeks and native Facebook app works great. More apps all the time...love this phone. With 128GB SD card, it's amazing. Camera resolution is fantastic... OS is snappy and not one crash or app compatibility issue... syncs seamlessly with Cloud and full integration with onboard Microsoft apps. For the price, this phone is excellent.

  • basically good phone with minor lags, lack of video play back of some formats, still windows 10 build is working fine on this device but need to improve in certain areas like contacts in dialer menu like wise there are still plenty of small options which are need to be added but its a good OS totally i didn't find much difficulty using with this phone camera quality is very good.

  • Yep, this phone is amazing, I would recomend it!

  • Sir who can download any video file at lumia 640 xl. Which download manager is best for this phone. Pls Reply thanks

  • Hi all, I have been an android phone user. I want to taste windows phone. Is this phone worth buying? Thanks.

  • Just sold my lumia 640 xl. main reason is no apps. Whats the benifit of a smartphone without apps? Even no official facebook app. No doubt its a great os but dont know the reason why developers are hesitating to develope apps for windows phone.i am on android now but will definatley consider windows 10 phone again if it gets ios graded apps. Atleast android graded apps. But i think it took 10 years from now

  • Change the charger..

  • Its great phone guys. Using it for last 6 months. Great experience. Nice performance,no hangs, great bttry(however takes a little longer but its normal),batterylasts for one whole day long while using 3g internet messenger, both cameras are great(beautiful pics with lumia selfie), feels good in hand, music louder than other phone in this segment. All useful apps are available on windows app store. I hve used samsung, panasonic, intex, motorola. This is my best phone ever. Now waiting for Windows 10 for phones to make my this best phone more better. Buy it guys. It will be great deal.

  • No. This is a Window Phone

  • Can anyone help, I'm looking to buy this as a gift but want to know if it's an Android phone? I'm an apple user and have no clue about this phone, thanks

  • Brother when are we getting Window 10 official update for our mobiles??? Earlier I heard that it would be released on 14-Dec, is it true???

  • Yes bro it is normal due to its 3000mAh capacity.. It also took me 4hrs to fully charge it completely..

  • How much, in average terms, does the battery last?

  • Some time any video and file can't delete so don't worry Try next time I'm sure it deleted or switch off your phone and on your phone then try to delete.....

  • This is software problems ok 👌

  • Guys what about the operating system (windows) does it have the same applications for the andriod at it's store?

  • I've been thinking about buying this phone, it seems great my only to concerns are: -the size I've got medium sized hands for a woman -and the ppi i was wondering if it's that noticeable(to be annoying)

  • "Fast battery charging" How to upgraded Lumia 640xl battery to it ? Any idea guys.

  • Hi! I have Lumia 640 XL. My Lumia charge 25 percent an hour and almost take 4 hour form 0 to 100% is it normal? When windows 10 lunch for phones it will be available in all countries or in selective country in start. Plz Reply...?

  • no

  • You will probably need to get a microSD card, 8 GB of storage is not nearly enough and the phone will slow down immensely from lack of space. UHS-I, Class 10 cards work well, with minimum transfer rate of 48MBps. I would suggest at least 16GB micro sdxc but there is no storage cap for lumias, so you could even stick the 200 GB sandisk micro if you wanted to and it would work. Also, have you downloaded Windows Insider and and updated to Windows Mobile 10 fast insider?

  • Two days stand-by is really not too bad for a smartphone, nowadays. Use a Nokia 3310 if you want it to stand by more than a week.

  • Try resetting factory settings and adjusting the Phone once more. Maybe that'll help.

  • It's a great mid-range smartphone, really

  • It's Great among all mid-range smratphones

  • Lumia 640XL pretty gud phone in the market. It feels classy look while holding in hand n gives premier looks. Pros : Camera, battery backup, no heating issue, warning errors internet connectivity, networks, UI , can use every apps like android., Cristal clear sound while hearing songs as well as in call. Cons : Getting charge will be little more than usual took 3hrs to make full. No usb with this. No OTG support. No option for charge in off mode, camera in night mode worst. Rather highly recommended for those who want a diff from android. Easy to access. Must buy. Am using for last 6 month haven't felt for any reason expect slow charge. Meanwhile it withstand 2days. Go ahead.

  • People who have used windows OS for their smartphones knows the true power and capacity of this beast. People switching from android to windows or from IOS will face alot of problems. Windows OS is not as simple as android, but if you are master in it, you can get the full efficency of this phone. BTW I have this phone from past 3 months and it is the best phone I have ever used. One of the best screens in the mid-range competition. Love it

  • 1- download limit in 8.1 is 100mb on mobile data.. but MS already removed download limit in w10m.. 2- stuck in downloading apps is user specific issue.. if downloading stucks restart ur phone n try again downloading of app. it will resume downloading.. this issue rarely happens not always so stop crying. 3- cant understant what is meaning of leaking touch.. lumias have one of the best touch screens till date. 4- cortana is good if you use in US.. indian version is alpha version. cortana is really better than siri n google now.. 5- i understand that users want applock feature but WP is highly secure OS.. there is no way to pass lock screen password without you knw real password.. this is not peice of shit like android where anyone can unlock ur password with some tricks.. keep this in mind 6- clash of cans comes under personal reason or choice.

  • dont worry about ram.. wp 1Gb ram acts like 2Gb of android.. i have installed more than 500 apps n hd games in my 730 and phone still runs buttery smooth

  • Please people , don't u guys ever think of buying this piece of shit. This dummy requires wifi to download any app size upto 50MB. and it always hangs while downloading, so the download gets stopped, as a result u have download again, there is also many leaking in touch. the cortana is not that cool that i have heard about, it doesn't understand English well. also there is no app privacy. The only security system is just the Lock screen, if anyone go through the lock screen he will have all access to the phone. and the most annoying thing is , I CANT PLAY CLASH OF CLANS IN IT............. The only thing it has just the camera. That's all. Android is the best suit for me... switching to android.

  • can you please help me out i want to buy this but worried about the ram shall i go with this ?

  • Does it provides inbuild /offline maps friend?,and what about its camara and pixeldensity

  • Do you know that in windows your Can change the color of keyboard from dark to white and every touch reminds you of your theme colour which can be costomized in the settings there are many choices for the theme colour ,your theme colour also affects many other apps and their effects which are totally unique and missing in all other software .Therefore I hope you may be satisfied with the keyboard,your you can go for go keyboard app after updating to windows 10 mobile shortly after December 4th

  • It is not better than j7. Its camera quality is very low than j7. As well as its display is also dumb than j7.window 8 is boring than android. We cannot backup apps which we can in android. Battery is average. Overall j7 is great than 640 xl. In this ram is only 1 gb in j7 it is 1.5 gb . Internal is also less than j7.

  • I already have a Lumia 620, which has pathetic network connectivity issue. Internet works fantastic in Wifi Zone. I frequently use windows apps for mailing, One note, MS Word and bit of MS Excel & MS outlook as well. Which works fantastic. None of the reviews here are talking about Windows Office Apps. All are comparing this phone with games and multimedia application. I am not a smartphone freak or have fancy for 15K+ phones with loads of multimedia or games supporting phones. If any of the user using this phone mainly for MS Office Apps, thn pls share your advise, input and suggestion. I am looking for MS Word and Excel Editor supporting Windowsphone in economy range. My purpose will be sold. Cheers!!!

  • You hve to install an app named ringtone maker and after that only it will come in the ringtone files to set ringtone for your handset

  • I need to add custom ringtone how should I add it

  • No but it'll cancel your genuine Windows subscription and if u want to update the original windows 10 you have to pay nearly ₹350

  • Give me your email and I'll show u how my images are in at night

  • As the value of gold never drops ... This phone is simmiler .... U'll love this phone .... It's 4G varient and it works better than my iPhone 5s .... And u can check the price of lumia 1520 which is the same since 2013 ... !!!! On the contrary we've Galaxy S5 .... Half the value in one year !! Can u blv this ... And blv me android phone sucks .... And I'm not going back to android again !!! Well, come to the camera .. It's a tough competitor of my Nikon D3100 but the colors look more and more realistic on my Lumia ... If u have a tripod and set the shutter speed at 4s then the imagery is OMG u dont even need the flash !!!

  • Try to use manual settings in Low Light conditions. You need to slow down shutter speed to 1/4 seconds or slower. But you need to keep your hands steady. In Auto mode this phone will take dull photos in Low Light.

  • I think you shuld by samsung j7

  • 640 ..man I HAVE A J7 AND IT SOMETIMES GLICHES A LOT AND sometimes it hangs also........640 has better camera quality and smooth touch....................?

  • Samsung j7 with no doubt or Samsung galaxy alpha is good also but you will lose the great battery and size of j7 but will get better things also see it

  • Pretty good! Pro: Stable, fast, no bugs (had to restart once in 3 month because had no sound), nice display, awesome battery life. Cons: weak rear camera, the front making better pictures.., bing search, market and sometimes i click on ads while scrolling in IE.. never happened on android. 7,5/10

  • I'm gonna buy lumia 640 xl vietnam version.I think it's ok and safe to buy..

  • No lags but the phone sometimes freezes for 2-3 seconds

  • confused with these two , which one to buy ? Lumia 640 xl or samsung J7

  • Carl Zeiss lense is best. They are professional lense maker. You can trust them blindly. If camera is your priority you should go with l640 xl.

  • @Wael Elmasry you get a single-piece 750mA charger. There is no USB cable or a headset included, of course that may as well vary according to the region.

  • Why csmera is not clear? Problem of network also

  • nice summary review. it's been 3 quarters now since its release and it hasnt dropped its price. is it still a good buy? i am planning to buy this because (as per internet and google research), no android phone at this price level has better camera/lens (at least that's what most 640 xl reviews i've read/watched). i just need really final convincing words that i should get this instead of zenfone 2 (similar price range with 640xl). what im looking for: midrange phone with great camera. im not really a power user. i dont play heavy graphic games. i just want a midrange phone that's snappy and has a great camera

I purchased this phone (640xl), now battery, speed usage everything's really great but the sort of reviews I was hearing about Carl zeiss lens n 13pm. it's opposite of that camera made me a joking factor near low priced Lenovo n MI users n m really upset about it. camera is blurish n not even like proper 5mp at low light flash is pathetic as far as I experienced any thing I can do to make it better???? even a sing let advice will be appreciated. Thanks in advance for your prompt responses

  • it depends on your own preference... If you can't live without some android apps, better take the samsung, but if you want to explore the microsoft ecosystem then try the lumia 640xl, aside from the store, I can recomment 640xl to you... Hope that windows 10 will change the whole microsoft ecosystem

  • Samsung j7 mobil best or Microsoft lumia 640xl mobil best please tell

  • I became a user just 9 days today,and what make me love my device is its tourch sensitivity.

  • Isn't really worth the price IMO. For USD250~ it comes with a 720p screen, 1GB RAM(many cheap phones already have 2GB or more) and a 1.2 Ghz Quad core(old architecture to boot) cpu? The battery is nice, but still no thanks.

  • "first switch on bluetooth "and " select the file you want to send" then "you can see in share options bluetooth" this may help you.

  • How can i send file with the help of bluetooth??? Plz help me l640xl proud users...

  • Bought this phone. Growing on me everyday, good battery life. Nice camera. Just buy this phone for future sake! The only cons atleast for me is the app availabality, hopefully vscocam and youtube will start to cooperate with windows.

  • it depends on your place... if you live in an area where it supports LTE then go for tlhe LTE, otherwise it will be useless if you are living in a place with no LTE

  • My old phone was an LG optimus G e975.. I love that phone very much ( i'll miss the quick memo and Q-Slide, if it wasn't broken ( touchscreen related concerns) I will definitely replaced it.. But thanks, I have discovered a beast!!! I recently bought this phone... and I am a very happy user... the battery is a total beast... my last time charge to full 100% was 18hrs and 50 minutes ago and as of this writing still have 56% of battery life, mathematically speaking I only consumed 44% of the battery life which is roughly 2.3%/hr battery consumption. I am a medium user. I use it today for surfing, text and call as well as watching downloaded movies and streaming video clips other pros > exemplary camera rear/front in its price range. > buttery smooth even with only 1 gig of ram and snapdragon 400 processor > I like the glance screen more than the notification light of other phones. > with double tap in every place of the touchscreen panel to wake and double tap on the navigation bar to sleep. > Can see the screen clearly even under direct sunlight thanks to its sunlight readibility option. > With NFC and project my screen (same as chromecast) > With built in call +sms filter which blocks unwanted calls and sms. > With interchangeable back cover, for you to choose from matte to glossy; green, cyan, black and white color variants. ( I definitely love the white color, it looks elegant) > User replaceable 3000mAh battery. > Good built. With its look even it is made of plastic material, it is more elegant than what samsung phones (really?) in its price range could offer. > Can be upgraded to windows 10 once it is release. Hoping for faster release of windows 10 on my lumia 640xl... cons. > low ppi density. Which is obviously noticeable when in white background. But less noticeable when using dark backgrounds. > Large Screen. For me its a cons, i definitely like screen no bigger than a 5 inch but I choose this phone over its smaller brother and cousins because of its specs. > very few apps in the market.. Which I hope will increase when windows 10 is in full blast. > Low internal memory.. This is the aspect which I think is the downside for me... with only 8 gb of ROM, the user is left with almost 4gb to use with. BUT it has a micro sd slot available upto 160gb I guess? To sum it up, this phone is a beast in its price range... No other phone within its price range can compete with this monster... Yes, android phones like (ASUS and Mi) have a better specs in terms of RAM, ROM and chipset than the 640xl. but no other smartphone within its price range could last more than a day without recharging its juice and can compete with its fully customizable camera app to look like being shot with a professional cam. I definitely recommend this phone.

  • We i recently bought this phone. The screen although it carries a low res, looks great. Weird I know but its true. Atnd the battery life is great.At least with my normal usage easily got 1.at 4 days left at 33%. Playing music, web browsing, very few phone calls. Its a very good phone for its price. Cons would have to be - the video taking abilities -Screen could be higher Res - Too little internal memory Pros - Still photos are awesome. -Battery Life awesome - Smooth - Sound of speaker is pretty good. - Body Design is really good. - ext Memory card Slot. AWESOME

  • Does this phone magically make the low ppi look like 500 ppi also? So yeah, not exactly believing that. If you would have used an android with octa-core and 2Gb of RAM, you would have not bought this...

  • Except 3 and 7. All other apps are in WP. Sure we can except those 3 and 7 in Windows 10

  • Hi everyone, I'm a medico and I use few medical and other apps on android phone. Plz tell which apps are unavailable on windows store? If not, any alteratives? Merrium-Webster Medical dictionary Drug index Drug guide drug dictionary materia medica lite Shifa Clinical medicine others- music tag editor lyrics grabber marathi calendar marathi typing media converter Bluetooth file transfer

  • I am glad to have replies from you. Specifically I need following apps 01. Opera mini- as it has best save page option and really very fast and lightweight. 02. Background download enabled uc browser - I use this only for downloading videos, movies, etc 03. App lock - if someone took my phone and I can't directly restrict him then he must not be able to open my personal message, what's app, etc 04. Photos videos lock or hide - specifically my personal photos and videos of family or other must not be easily accessible to anyone who is checking my phone. I heard that many apps available for this but no one is really working. All are fake. 05. Offline Marathi, English dictionary, Indian Constitution, newspaper app like newshunt or else, photo editor. And all them must be free. 06. Tube mate - it's must for me as I download many YouTube videos. If any other applications for downloading YouTube easily then it's fine. 07. Also tell me if there are any keyboards available like SwiftKey in Android for wp. I can't be sure if I will be satisfied with default keyboard Please reply me based on your personal experience. I heard that many apps in Windows phone are claiming so but not doing properly the job. Thanks

  • Hmm I feel you. Everybody want buy a new phone with all is ready to use. Maybe It should be not released if it is still being a 'tester'

  • I have same problems...specially the touch screen is not sensitive enough, I have measured the battery power and found it 2000 mah not 3000 MAH....It is the worst WP I ever owned.

  • Superb phone. Don't confuse by the specs (memory and cpu) it performs better than android having double the resources. Clear black is awesome even better with polarized glasses on a bright sunny days of Pakistan, but in portrait orientation only.

  • Lol... just tell me who told you to update your phone to W10 which is a Test update.. its common sense dude.. final version of W10M is still not available and coming in december.. i really dont understand users like you update to pre release testing builds and then start to complain like small babies.. just open browser and search what is windows insider program.. it is for test initial buggy update versions to help microsoft to make goo final update.. just user brain and think twice before doing such mad things which you dont undrstand.

  • Windows 10 is an Pre released Version. So it have Bugs. Official release of windows 10 will be in December. So Use the Windows phone recovery tool in PC to Revert back to Windows 8.1

  • How to switch back to win 8 again? Share me plz thx

  • That was terrible mistake.Go back 8.1

  • its good

  • That win 10 was pre relased version. Original 10 will come in december. Switch back to 8 again like I did.... Thank You

  • I really hate this phone!! The touchscreen is not sensitive.but the bad is,after upgrade to win 10, everything getting worst!I can't change my bbm DP! I cant send or receive any picture via bbm it's always error occurred! I can't used my fb and upload any photos! Now the recent, I can't add new contact in whatsapp its always forced close! Now what??! No body want to bargain my phone! I'm frustrated now! Im waste my money for the worst phone ever! really big regret to have this! Any body can explain what happen with this phone???

  • Bro, I am a Sony Lover like xperia, Vio, Cybershot etc. I recently purchased Microsoft 640XL & experienced positive. Why People blame Microsoft Lumia Mobile without understanding. Its a Very Nice mobile. Camera is Damn Good, Battery Awesome, screen & Touch very fine & The best thing is After 2Hrs of Online calling(Whatsapp & Viber) even there is No Heating Problem at all. Its performance is unique, Unlike the Android devices this has smooth & faster OS, Very light & No Heat or Hang problem. Thank you Microsoft & we Expect more improvement in next upgradaton. Dont worry at all It supports almost all the apps except IMO & MX player but Xvideo Player is a nice player in WP-OS. Also several features u can get when update the apps.

  • Hi..m also using this phone nd getting the same problem.. did u fine any solution for this...do share plz

  • Thats fine, there is no back sticker to the phone

  • It didn't hav any screen protector in box. If u need u must pay fr dat :D .

  • This is a very good phone I am using this phone for five months

  • frndz plz help me out. Today i bought a 640 xl..when i returned home & checking my new phone i noticed no sticker attached at the back side of my phone. So plz tell me is it ok or somebody has already used that phone. Ur comments will make me tensionfree.

  • I disappointed when i knew so many familiar apps in android i can't download in WP. Why its ver bad working for social media? I can't upload photos on fb? Why I can't change my bbm DP?also I can't send any picture via bbm to my friend. Why for browsing social media it' s very take a long time? . Sorry to say, but this is not highly recommended. I will sell it again

  • 1- 3G is really good to use if you are living in 3G area.. Still if you want 4G device then Microsoft launching L640 and L640 xl 4G(LTE) versions in India at the end of this month.. Microsoft announced this yesterday.. 2- Yes 5.7 or 6 inch display is too big and known as phablets.. There are only limited users who prefer big size display phone.. I am using L730 which has 4.7" screen.. So its finally depends on your choice which screen size phone you can handle properly.. Decide it first otherwise L730 is also one of the best phone.. 3- always prefer mette finishes colours.. I am currently using green L730 which is mette.. Order blue or white colour which are mette.. 4- Before Lumia my primary mail account was also a Gmail account.. But now i created outlook account.. Now it is my primary account not because of Lumia or windows ecosystem.. Google is actually fraud and use and check your mails to show or send you advertisements n spam advertising mails.. Microsoft's outlook is very secure and you only receive trusted mails not spams.. You can still add your Gmail account in Outlook app here so you can use your Gmail account as primary account.. I have added 3 email accounts in my outlook mail.. One is outlook id and other two are Gmail ids.. You can receive all your mails like you receive on your android phone.. But to use Microsoft services and app store you need to compulsory create Outlook account. You can also use 3rd party Gmail apps like MetroMail, Maestro and 1Mail which are best now.. Metromail app is currently free for limited time so grab it.. About YouTube there are best 3rd party YouTube apps available in WP store from trusted developers.. Mytube, MetroTube and Perfect Tube these are best YouTube app and free of cost also.. You can download any YouTube video in any resolution and save it in your phone or SD card.. Also biggest rumour floating from yesterday that Today's Microsoft Windows 10 devices Google is officially launching their apps to W10 devices.. Means official Google apps like YouTube, Gmail, hangouts and others Google apps for w10m.. Event is starting 7:30 PM for india if you want to cover.. Microsoft launching More lumia phones today 5- if you are curious about damage then use screengaurd or tempered glass over screen.. It your choice.. BTW i am not using any protection on my L730..

  • 1. It having capability to get the High Speed internet.(H+ is more then enough for Internet Surfing and Downloading) 2. This phone having less weight. And nowadays all are moving to Bigger mobiles 3. Black is Superb and it is matte finish 4. You don't want to shift you primary mail id, You can Keep both your Gmail ID and outlook ID(Store Downloading you need Outlook or anyother Microsoft ID) 5. No Need of Screen Guard, Almost i dropped my phone 5 times but no scratches and no broken glass. Working Perfectly

  • Google services like hangout are available as different google apps and you don't have to switch email adress but u will need a hotmail adress for ur phone to function properly for microsoft services and they're good...even Microsoft offers discounts if u are an old Microsoft user...

  • Ok first the phone doesnt support 4G 640xl is 3g ready...yes the phone is really big and sometimes hard to handle ur hands will get tired in the start its hard to use while lying down but u get used to it slowly the only issue now is u cant keep it in your jeans pocket...the matt finish is available only in black rest are plastic covers if u want a decent look go for balck or white but scratches are prominent on white...the screen is fragile yes but if u use glass protector instead of screen protector its safe...my phone was thrown on tiled floor by a baby sitting on bed but it didnt break cux i have glass protector...

  • If leaks are correct then guys Lumia 750 and L750 XL coming very soon.. in Mid December or in early january.. Tommorow 6th oct. is biggest day for Microsoft and all Lumia and Windows lovers.. Microsofts biggest event in New York for launching w10 devices.. Lumia 950, 950xl, Lumia 550, Surface 4, Microsoft band 2, Hololens and alog more... Indian time- 7:30PM just stay tuned and enjoy this epic microsft windows 10 devices event..

  • Dear I have been reading reviews about Lumia 640 xl since long and finally confirmed my purchase. But I have few questions to experts here, please feel free to answer these 01. It shows 3.5 g. So should I wait for 4g or this is better. Of course I want faster Internet usage with less money. But confused as yet not even the 3g is available throughout the country. 02. All my friends finally prefer 5 inch screen phone and all they are suggesting that 5.7 inch will be too much and very hard to handle. Here users are available who used this phone. Please reply me with your valuable feedback. 03. Which color is better? I am asking with concerned to matte finish. Please suggest best color and tell if it has matte finish or not. 04. I am mostly using Google services like YouTube, Gmail, etc and my primary mail id is Gmail. So do I need to shift everything to Hotmail or any Microsoft mail. 05. I heard issues regarding gorilla glass and the weak body. Please suggest after purchase should I go for screen guard or not. And can I have rough usage with this phone. Thanks a lot dear for all the future answers you are going to give. Please reply detailed and properly

  • Dear I had been reading reviews about Lumia 640 xl since long. I have few questions, please answer me 01. I read few reviews that gorilla glass is not worthy and real. So do I need to use screen guard after purchase? 02. My friends saying 5 inch is perfect size. So please tell me those who are using this phone, is it handy to use. Easy to use and comfortable??? 03. They are saying it's 3.5 g. I actually need fast and cheap Internet. Although yet even 3g is not available everywhere. Please suggest difference and preference. 04. I am having primary email Gmail. If I get in Windows family do I need to shift Hotmail or Microsoft client. I also use Google and YouTube mostly. Thanks for your reply

Hope you understand.. and i think L640xl is in devices list who getting w10m update first.

  • Am using 640xl for one month and its really awesome but it requires some additional features like sharing apps and games from all devices and about Windows 10 features are really commendable, after its launch we can compete with android users...

  • The Latest update takes time, sometimes it doesnt show the progress but dont worry the update will happen. Put it on charge and leave it for 2-4 hours. Personal recommendation is that dont update it to TP as i have noticed that it doesnt perform well on 640xl, wait for the next build.

  • Yes

  • Guys don't worry.. Everything is coming with W10M update to complete with Android.. My unknown source from Microsoft told me following features are coming in W10M soon as well as few in next year with W10 updates.., 1- Most awaited Applock feature. Official applock app from Microsoft. 2- Mobile data downloading limitations removed. You can download any size file with mobile data. No wifi required. 3- Build in call recording feature. 4- Looks like background downloading limitations removed now.. New API's added in W10 SDK for app developers.. 5- New Facebook app is coming which works really good even in 2G network. 6- UC team working on new UC browser app for W10 devices. 7- I think video scaling bug in full screen mode in video player is resolved and improved API's added in W10 SDK.. 8- Now all quick toggles available in notification centre... Flashlight toggle as well and lot more. 9- I think force to 3G network option is also added so now no worries about automatically drop 3G signal to 2G problem. 10- LED notifications settings are added in W10M.. OEMs need to enable this using firmware update.. Currently lumia 730/735 and 930 has LED light hardware. 11- USB OTG available.. 12- USB tethering added.. 13- Transparent notification centre coming. 14- transparent keyboard coming. 15- Tiles grouping feature coming for start screen. 16- New status bar is coming in final build. 17- new Music player, new full featured Office apps, new Outlook mail, new calendar, new photos app, new file manager app, new keyboard, new camera app, new translator app..

Also current option of tiles background also available. 26- after backup you can share apps n games with other windows mobile devices. 27- Microsoft now integrated messaging app with skype.. So we can use messaging app for carrier messages as we as Skype messages.. Also video calling and voice calling is integrated into phone app and peoples app.. 28- MS knows notification delay problem and they are fixing it.. 29- i think sideloading of apps n games possible now. 30- About apps problem MS working on Project "Astoria" for Android apps porting and project"islandwood" for IOS apps porting to Windows mobile apps.. Using Astoria project developers can easily convert their Android apps into windows mobile apps in few minutes.. So we can expect lot of apps n games in windows mobile store in fewer time.. This is a big project to increase apps.. 31- Continnum feature is coming.. Using continnum we can use our Windows mobile phone like desktop.. We can connect mouse and keyboard to phone and project mobile screen on any display even on TV screen.. It is best feature in my opinion for any business and for students as well.. No need to carry heavy laptops. 32- In upcoming new flagships 950 n 950xl Microsoft added iris scanner technology.. By this phones scan you and then only unlock.. According to sources iris scanner is faster than fingerprint scanner. 33- lumia 550 coming with front facing flash.. Microsoft launching all these phones(950, 950xl, 550), two versions of surface pro 4, Hololens, Band 2 and alot of hardware things which is still not leaked in MS event on 6th October.. Only two weeks remaining... If anything missing and if i got more features tip then I'll post them all.. If you have any questions about missing features n suggestions write up here..

  • Turned off data setting in data sense

  • I have had one for 3 months, it is the WORST phone ever! I have to reboot about twice per day. The sdxc card was not recognized, it actually destroyed 2 cards. It hangs up and freezes when I use random apps. To load music takes forever... it reindexes and it could literally take HOURS to restart the music app. The camera is brilliant, when it works. Best photos ever. But performance is about 1/2 speed of comparable apple and 2/3 speed of my Galaxy s4. The included music player does not work, had to find a new store app. the phone randomly does not work... press the phone dial button and it goes back to the home screen or just freezes - absolutely MADDENING! Don't accept one even for FREE! I am an IT Director with 30 yrs IT experience, someone needs to be fired for this disaster. I am going to buy a Galaxy next. My mobile banking apps do not work on this, the gps driving app is poor at best. Who at NOKIA will talk to me to get a refund or replacement? Anyone have a contact?

  • Please make all 640 and 640xl phones 4G supportive once they upgraded to Windows 10. Thank you :)

  • Why would they anyway? If you love Android, you better switch to that OS or either way you may ask the similar question to Adidas as why they don't manufacture Nike kits.

  • What are you talking about? Battery life is the best part of this phone.

  • For the price at which it comes, this is an awesome phone. really good

  • this a battery beast!

  • Hi , I have purchased a new nokia 640XL. How long do i have to charge the battry

  • Are all the latest mobile phones bought for camera use only?

  • You use Microsoft camera. Slide the screen & it's there on top right corner. Open the camera settings & then keep everything set to Auto by dragging left. Keep white balance 50% at centre. I thinks its helpful.

  • This mobile is very good, Quite faster & no heating issue. Camera 📷 is quite fine. Operating & browsing is very good. The only thing is , you can't adjust resolutions in camera settings Screen display & Battery backup is pretty good. Recommended for windows lovers.

  • just for looking peace, not work properly, all apps will get crashed if we keep on using for a long time, and it don't have 4g option that is the main problem, I am very much unsatisfied with this mobile.

  • My phone just stuffed up like it froze...had it about 3 weeks,,,,i look after it like it gold....Lumia 460xl

  • I use Lumia camera app to take photos the images taken in the night under CFL and lighted areas appear washed out and noisy.When I used living images option to take photo under night conditions the initial part of the photo was with perfectly balanced colours but to the end part the images appear washed out and noisy as taken during still shot.i think this happens during saving of photos. I have tried Microsoft default camera & third party apps but the photos taken are washed out and noisy.if anyone has encountered this problem and have rectified it let me know how or else is it a device problem(hardware)? I have the latest software of the lumia camera and the O.S windows 8.1 update 2 and also tried different exposure levels,sensitivity,white balance settings etc but the problem is still there.

  • 640 xl is better in case of camera performance but in low light there is a bit problem

  • Are you sure? How long it takes with you to fully charge?

  • which one is better in terms of camera performance : lumia 730 or lumia 640 xl

  • but in my area wifi is free then why is this happening

  • In lumia you can not play just any format. Since there is no antivirus for windows phone the reason is all the apps in winsows os work in sand box. It means they can not access data of others apps. And .exe can not be opened in windows phone (WP) due to which chances of spreading virus are very low.Due to sand box type operation your phone will remain unaffected by virus. in your case Its not HD but the video format which is not supported by WP.

  • plz check ur battery immediately.i think with u have some poblm

  • Don't worry... All problem will be solved while windows 10 arrives.

  • Its a GREAT PHONE but the only one the problems is , Windows Store ,, need more application

  • The list of cons are numerous. Even my Nokia X2 was better than lumia 640XL in many aspects. Didn't expect this shit out of Microsoft. Could buy much better Android phone with this price. Just waste of my valuable money. 1. Touch: need to try several times to pull down and up the Action panel. 2. Lagging while playing games (i.e. tample run). 3. Camera in low light is awful. 4. Needs high bandwidth for browsing where as android can browse in 2G. 5. No video call option in Viber. 6. Internal storage is low. User available only 3gb out of 8. 7. Facebook is not as comfortable and rich as Android phones. Many useful features are missing. So please think twice before buying this phone. Go in details and take your time. Do not regret afterwords.
