Microsoft Lumia 640 XL LTE - User Reviews

  • Worst Phone I have ever had.

  • reset the phone back up files first

  • This phone also plays FLAC and ALAC files.

  • My phone is not ringing anymore so I can’t tell when I get calls or texts, have gone through my phone but I can’t seem to find out what the problem is can someone help

  • Hi my viber not ringing, what need to be done please ?

  • I can't download apps through stores. when I go through store with data that there sowing command, (SOMETHING BAD UNKNOWN LAYOUT SPECIFIED) command is appearing. some one can help me.

  • My PC cannot read my phone , can someone help with some ideas.

  • My cannot read my phone ,can someone help with ideas.

  • In Japan you can buy Lenovo 503 LV, it is the cheapest Continuum enabled Windows 10 Mobile phone with 3GB RAM, 32GB storage and Snapdragon 617 processor. It costs cheaper than this phone.

  • Hi guyz, i tried to reset my 640 XL yesterday in the morning but up to now it hasn't finished yet reseting,can anyone help please i dont know whats wrong with the proccess taking 2 full days without complition,HELP PLEASE!!!!

  • I bought this phone just when it's was released and I'm very happy because has really good battery life (2-3 days depending on the use) and is very simply to using.

  • Dearest budget affordable economical inexpensive quality seeking devices.Here the price is mentioned $74 which is good for a phablet smartphone!But where and how to get it!!!?Thanks Microsoft itself answering it!!Justice Rights.Omid12Omidvar.is thinking now that it is a right time for people of the low to average income majorities to have the last memories from Microsoft until when Microphones 1,2,3,...comes or 2025!!!Confusing circumstances!!!

  • very poor battery life,,,,battery drawns quickly witout ny use,,,,,cant charge the battery 100%

  • This IS worst phone. Don't but it. The mobile is full of bugs and have a lot of problems. It's camera clarity is bad, system does nor work faster, problem in its hot spot. Waste of money

  • it would be better with a 3400 mah so you wont have to charge it all thew trik 0me

  • That's not the phones's fault, that's an OS issue and it goes through all phones unfortunately. I switched back to Android after 3 years of using HTC 8x and 640XL, and I was more than happy with both. 640XL is an amazing phone in all aspects, unfortunately, Microsoft's support hasn't been quite acceptable lately. The only issue is that it has only 8Gb internal memory which leads to lack of space for future Win10 updates which are all ~1.2Gb. If you're using e-mail extensively like I do (Outlook was around 500Mb), and on the side social media, you will have to remove those Apps in order to apply the OS update.

  • Love my 640 XL LTE. Good memory when you buy Sim card. Good camera, great size. Have to charge the battery often. I'd be lost without it

  • Lot of problems in this phone 1. Lot of apps automatically closing 2. Very late for fully charge 3. Now i couldn't use facebook app & fb messenger.. It asking 2 gb ram,facebook beta also not working perfectly 4. After update windows 10 i coudnt change screen brightness 5. Sometime showing "charging slow" 6. Very late for open any apps... 7. After download the windows 10 charge goin quickly.... Only one this phone is not hot... And looking smart....

  • Try Tube cast from store. Is a free app and better than You tube. You can see also the subtitles

  • A very good phone and a very good price.

  • Try Tube cast. Is better than You tube and you can see also the subtitles

  • Best phone since now, value for money. Batery lasts for three days , with internet, viber. No bugs. windows 10.

  • A nice phone but has several problems. I would not buy this phone again. IS there a problem free phone out there???????? HELP!!!!!!

  • This phone has many problems, will not hold my contacts, drops calls, intermittent rings, cannot even send rating back to Microsoft through the phone itself. Biggest problem, it eats data from background, I do not play games, music or use Cortana though they keep eating data as there are a number of embedded apps

  • Good phone for everything but the camera if you purchase the 640 XL buy yourself a Box Brownie as backup.

  • Rocking phone

  • Yes don't update windows 10 windows 10is lots of bugs too much hangings windows 8.1is good

  • Lumia 640xl LTE best

  • lumia 640 xl 30 min internet daily; 25 min call daily battery enough for 5 days, always if not use internet could keep on 2g for longer. Photos very good. Comfort voice calling very good clean

  • Hi guys, may I know which phone is better in battery life. 1. Microsoft 640 xl or 2. Samsung j7 16

  • Ive been using this from last june... so far so good... Only problem- its not android... also internal memory is so low, even system takes up 4 gb and you will have only like 3 Gb space... rest, i am happy

  • Uninstall and re-install camera app from store... :D

  • just open it via edge

  • No YouTube in store....can anyone help?????

  • Why cant I change my network band from LTE to 2G

  • I have this phone for a few weeks now... Bought it for EUR 150 in Bulgaria. So far my impressions are quite good - good battery life (2 to 3 days in a medium load), excellent camera for the money, nice screen, good performance and responsiveness, glance screen is a great feature! Being an Android user for a couple of years, there are few things that irritates me a bit though- like no option for going to Silent mode from directly from the display, and other minor thingies, but overall - I'm pretty happy with it so far.

  • I've updated to Windows 10 Anniversary a few days ago and since then my battery is draining away very quickly. I used to get 3 days of light usage before the update. Has this happened to anyone else.

  • Download windows 10 you'll love it

  • Because it isn't an Android phone, it's Windows Phone.

  • My daughter is trying to download google play store on her Lumia, but it doesn't let her. Anyone know why?

  • I bought the Lumia 640XL LTE model last month... Day before yesterday when I tried to open the Lumia Camera, it says "Something went wrong" please help me I did a soft reset & a hard reset too but the problem is same yet... How can I fix it please help me guys???

  • internet using not on,your phone not 10000 amh battery.you cannot use 48 hours inter "use"/Browising.I am using about 15 hours internet not more than.....

  • Hello. I have a big problem in connection with the decision of which phone to buy. I study the symptoms of the disease on the plants and I need a phone with a camera with good (microimages, microdetails) and good work (without bagovanja or lag) portables. 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.

  • The phone has active noise cancellation ( or secondary microphone) ?

  • Update with Windows10. It very awesome and excellent.

  • very bad phone.when i buy phone i insert memory card.now i wantto insert new memory its not coming cna u help me any one

  • store is nt working y

  • ya viatnam mobiles have great build quality i bought lumia 630

  • For update Windows 8.1 to Windows 10 do not use Windows Insider( very bad ) ; use Upgrade Consultant from Store . It is just perfect !

  • windows 10 box of bugs, 10 years behind of age.

  • My dearest factwrting gsmArena and Microsoft followers and friends.Frankly speaking among all 30 +1 recently made by Microsoft after Nokia's complete handover,I prefer just this 640 LTD 4G GSM!!Why!?In my opinion,it has some superiors that the others do not have!!Of course 950 is an exceptional with very high price!!!As an expert,640 could have been better upper midrange smartphone,if it had had complete abgn ac WiFi dual band,DLNA,direct and hotspot,at least Bluetooth 4.1 or 4 Plus its auxiliaries,Snapdragon 401or 650 or 652,RAM 3,16 0r 32 gigabytes inside helping memory,etc.In that case,I would guarantee it as the best upper midrange Windows smartphone of all ages with the highest incredible sales in history but as long as decision maker is Microsoft,what else I can say,UNLESS Microsoft great public relations for preventing losses pays attentions Hopefully!?Hopefully with coming window 10 and 10.1 all upgrades updates Will fix the issues or MAYBE THE NEXT Lumia 640 lte 4g gsm+compensate and fixes shortcomings!!!?Nevertheless with the best affordable midrange price+other not mentioned qualities,I still love it and for sure I put it in my Virtual Grand Dream Museum....!?Of course as a critic my goals are merely constructions hereafter but never ever biased destructive destructing!!!Thanks gsmArena for releasing and publishing facts and Microsoft for constructive innovative inventive constantly SENSIBLE changes....Justice Rights.Omid12omidvar....

  • for your second question, i faced the same problem, what I did was "reset the phone". The problem gone.

  • My Microsoft Lumia 640 XL LTE has a problem with store I cant update there an error try again later then I'm given a code.Any info plz?

  • maybe u need to update ur phone.

  • is this phone 4g capable?

  • I have bought this phone on 1st March 2016, but have been facing some issue continuously 1. Charging - Its taking more than 6 hrs to charge full. 2. Its touch also doesn't detects the sense of hand sometime. Please can anyone suggest how much should it take to charge? Thanks

  • Can you download free apps in microsoft lumia xl lte or you have to pay??

  • Hello Friends, I have just bought a new 640 XL and i am seeing two issues in it. First - The voice over rear speaker of the phone crackles a bit in speakerphone mode during a call with volume set to more than 7. Here is a thread that talks about speaker crackling issue but mine does it more while using speakerphone. Need to know if this is an issue with all the phones. Second - Glance screen in peek mode is not working properly. Sometimes when i hover my hand over the light sensor, glance screen does not work. I have to hover my hand longer and closer to the sensor for it to work. I have a high quality Nillkin tempered glass installed with precise cutout for the light sensor so, that shouldn't cause a any issue. Moreover, on my old lumia 920, i had a cheap screen guard installed over the light sensor but there was no problem whatsoever with glance screen in peek mode.

  • please do not purchase microsoft phones if you are planning to purchase a new phone. i trusted this company due to a big name but this is worst... i have microsoft lumia 640 xl lte ,purchased from microsoft store connaught place... if i switch it off and then switch it on , it stops making calls,,,nobody can hear me and vice versa,,,,and every lumia 640 xl lte has same issue,,i tried three phones,,all have same issue..... i purchased 2 applications when i was on windows 8.1 when i upgraded to windows 10 , both the applications disappeared from the store and microsoft said---those are third party applications,,,we cant assure you... applications don't work properly in their phones..sometimes applications start opening and closing on their own...... if you try to purchase application from windows store ,,,,microsoft's website doesn't accept any card except credit card,,,,so you need to have a credit card mandatory,,,,however they have. both the options ,,credit card and debit card..... application are also of poor quality....not like android or apple.......developers also dont support windows,,,,,,every good and a grade application you will find either on apple or android........ only plus point i can consider is - camera,,,,yes, it has a good camera bye bye to microsoft andd windows phone,,,after the failure of nokia and blackberry,,,your number is 3rd

  • As the internet technology saying goes shit in shit out.

  • Turn up the volume button doh!!!

  • Is that Ford Cortina, had one once, bodywork rusty but a good drive.

  • A hard reset is very good advice, but it was easy for me as I was a fairly new purchaser.

  • For update Windos 8.1 to Win 10. But after update, You should do hard reset on your phone.

  • I've used this phone for a month now first with Windows 8 and then 10 it runs very smoothly and if you have 10 or 8 on your pc it synchronises for outlook and office etc. Exterior front camera shots are sharp and the battery life with heavy call and internet use is 48 hours.

  • Microsoft lumia 640 xl dual sim lte or motorola moto x play which one better to buy?

  • its a cool phone and if we consider the app side its a little bit on the low side and install windows insider app for pre release benefits

  • Yes it's main camera is horrible 😱 Maybe it case of why gsmarena not added it's camera picture in its competitor gallery

  • Enroll in Windows Insider program and choose insider build ring. It will give update your phone to Windows 10 mobile,

  • its front camera is very bad.... and its not update to wondows10. all things are good but its front camera is too bad. i brought a lumia 640 xl lte but its front camera is not good

I bought 640 XL LET is a good phone but its like piece of wood without applications ...check it the microsoft store before go buying any microsoft mobile

  • I have had phone since June, andi love . A lot of phone for the bucks. Also works great on windows 10. Strange people do not buy more windows phones.

  • Waste of money. I bought this phone at the time of launch, it has so many problem then I thought It will be ready when updating the os from 8.1 to windows 10. The real problem arise after the updating. Now its like a piece of a shit.

  • Is really bad phone there is no any 3g video calling, no any emo video calling, very limited features, is like the simple phone with internet, very bad download I.e. don't support background downloading. Sharing with share it or any app don't support background transmission,limited to single application at a time... I thing no any smartness are there .. Accept Cortina .

  • Same here.

  • I was earlier able to attach a photograph to a name by clicking on EDIT BUTTON, then on ADD PHOTO and choose a photo, and so on. However, since the last few days after a recent update, this feature is not working. I t goes back to ADD PHOTO. Kindly advise how to get back this feature on my phone.

  • You don't say!!...And after that you woke up and went to work,didn't you!?

  • Why i can't turn off my mobile phone? It's 24hs :/

  • Does anybody know why i cant use the cam recording when i try to use the Lumia camera? I can take pics, but no rec, it simpy wont start. When i use the "normal" camera everything is ok.

  • At the beginning I had problems with the outgoing e-mail, but when you turn off wireless sensor off, it was all right. Very good phone!

  • you need a microsoft account which you should have microsoft email, it should be msn, live, hotmail or outlook domain

  • I fully agree. Very good mobile phone

  • Very good phone. Has had IPhone, Samsung s4, HTC, Sony. This is value for the bucks. Viber, Skype, bbm, everything just works. I hope more people will see what fantastic phones Microsoft makes. Sounds and call is clear and very good, Bluetooth sound very good, Will never look back to Samsung

  • Yes, you can install apps on the sd card.

  • Deepak,I too have the same issue.. Even in service centre they changed d speaker.. Stil facing d same problem.. Pls suggest me ur view

  • The Lumia 640 XL LTE is one of the best phones I have had. Skype and social stuff all works fine, I do not know what others here are on about. Battery is amazing compared to other smartphones. The only complaint I would have is that the Facebook app needs an update as I like using the translate options. I can comment with an open mind as I am a phone freak and love the smartphones. I love apple and android and would most likely use apple more if battery lasted a lot longer and that also goes for Samsung. Another gripe I have with a lot of expensive phones like apple and Samsung is the high end cost and not being waterproof? In this day and age and the expense of these phones they should be waterproof. I know the Xperia is waterproof and same as Samsung active however the popular high end phones from the other two should be better protected. Microsoft should also look at waterproofing as any smartphone is a big investment, that's my say. Cheers

Late on I by mistake try to change name of account till then mail icon dissapeard and when I enter to my account I can see it but it is with gray letters showing Synchronizing status and I can do anything nor delete it nor enter on it. What to do please assist?????

  • off course it will........

  • If you have Microsofts offline maps better navigation then gogle then why you need google maps

  • Can it run google maps?

  • How is touch perfomance bro

  • Is this 640 xl update to windows 10..

  • windows 8 can run every android app just search about it on youtube and this is upgradable to win 10 which can run all ios and apk apps

  • I can add any pic at fb. how......,

  • I got it to...it's perfect....i love it :D

  • Your thinking is cheap and very limited you poor fellow. Price cheap for its OS, otherwise it would have been more then double price with an android or IOS. Grow your brain and do some study online. This phone is pure gem in every way.

  • Off course!!

  • Can you install an App on your micro SD card,using L640?

  • 640XL LTE for sure

  • Have been looking here (and elsewhere) for my next phone (coming from an HTC Mini). Finally got the Lumia 640 XL and a 128 Gb Lexar Micro SD Card. All I can say is... Brilliant. For what I need it worked out BY FAR the most value for money (more so than I could have hoped for). I have spoken to a guy at work who was anti Windows from a few years ago. Showed him mine and he bought one the next day and loves it. For me I needed... Big Screen. Big Storage (via SD Card is fine) for Music, Photos, Videos. Good Cameras. Removable Battery (ability to have a swappable spare if needed). Over a Day's Battery Life. Good Telephone conversation quality. 4G LTE Decent Music Quality Playback. Sturdy Construction. Good Visibility in daylight. Email. Browsing. Skype Viber FM Radio Off Line Maps I am more than impressed. Brilliant Device.

  • I need your help my phone keeps asking me for a past number to use my apps what most I do

  • when i purchased this brand lumia 640 XL LTE phone

  • This is not true. 1G was GSM and you could both call and send sms on it. 2G is GPRS and EDGE which made connection to internet possible. Then, 3G and 4G is basically faster network type.

  • 2G connection makes you able call another person. 1G makes you able to send sms. 3G makes you able to connect to the www (World Wide Web) aka. internet. and 4G is a faster form of internet. You should be able to turn on/off the mobile data (3G, internet).

  • It's a windows phone, so no, it can't run android apps.

  • Nokia Lumia phones should have an option to select 2G or 3G network and not the Highest Connection speed . It is irritating because I found that my 3G network is stronger than my 2G network , But keep switching to 2G network . I was just wondering if Microsoft and Nokia can make an option to select if the user wants 3G or 2G only setting in the phone . With the 2G network,I really can't do anything with my phone since there is no Wi-Fi connection in my area .I hope that Microsoft and Nokia will be interested in this idea because

  • So what? It probably doesn't need as much RAM like an android phone. Know iPhone has how much RAM?

  • Does this support every android apps? Every social networking apps?

  • Low RAM capacity and 2 years old processor. Microsoft should look... that Consumers prefer Smartphone, whose features kept matching with upto date applications/Games etc.

  • what is the correct launching date ?

  • How to use OTG to readdrive usb flash driveUSB?

  • Never Launched in India and Pakistan

  • When ths phone to b launched n India????

  • But why what is reason that window phone cannot support video call

  • Lumia 830 or 640 XL --- AT&T will not upgrade the 830 to Denim for coming Windows 10. Bummer: I returned my just purchased Lumia 830 yesterday. I saw the 640 in Walmart this morning for under $90 (AT&T). See the link:

  • Hi guys I wanna purchase those mobile who have excellent front n bk camera result in the same price range can any one suggest me can I buy this??or suggest any other phone

  • Bought this phone as a backup to my Galaxy S6. I wanted another platform so I wouldn't get burnt-out on Android. Not a fan of IOS and was excited about the upcoming Windows 10. Let me say this phone is worth every penny. I find myself using it around 40% of the time compared to my GS6. Battery life is awesome compared to the Samsung. Camera front and rear are pretty good. Love that Microsoft included Office, very useful. Call quality is good, screen is very visible in daylight. Hardcore gaming is not very good on this phone, but everything else is wonderful. I give it 8 out of 10 stars, 10 out of 10 if you consider the $250 price point.

  • More better than android.

  • Get a shower...

  • higher cost doesn't guarantee higher quality always

  • In India, Microsoft didn't release LTE version of Lumia 640 XL.

  • Cheap phone

  • Its very hard to find this LTE version. Where can I find it in EU?

  • i have bought lumia 640 xl, but not sure it is lte veesion or not.. how can i find that?

  • I have already tried Apple and Android phones. Now it comes to try Windows phone. By the user opinions, I am really interesting to buy the Microsoft Lumia 640 XL LTE but, I'm afraid of one thing: "My Magic Jack app that fits so good on my iPhone and so well on my Android phone" Why not on all the Windows phones?

  • You can download youtube, viber, whatsup, telegram. oovoo,etc. for free from microsoft store. i'm using them now on my winphone.

  • Use can install all apps from store... Or if u installed alrdy then go to settings >swipe left>application >store>tap check for updates.... U will b able to install apps from store only after you configure ur Microsoft account (like ur fb account)

  • Form where I can download it..?

  • My dearest friends.Besides good qualities of this upper midrange smartphone except Nokia's ways of greedineds to degrade the phone,s qualities in WiFis,as a scientific poll shows here about 200,000 eager enthusiast people have been asking for lumia XL LTE HERE only!!!No much interests in other 640s redundant machine gun!!!?Hopefully Microsoft in Windows 10 coming pays attention to CPU,gpu,WiFia abcd dual band dlna updates and upgrades,especially wife direct!!!Thanks gsmArena.com assistance to release this and also congratulations to Microsoft for releasing of surface 3 GSM 4g if the news is right!!!Hopefully gsmArena.com updates its all brands list!!Thanks all of you good friends.Justice Rights.See gsmArena.com in Google plus!!!

  • Microsoft wana launch lumia 640 xl lte in india , there is no update date for launch in India

  • I just got one of these over the weekend, and I had originally gone in for a different Windows phone, and this one won me over. Great phone, especially for the price, that front camera is pretty nice. The screen is crystal clear and very responsive, the backing is interchangeable and not difficult to remove, and hey *REMOVABLE BATTERY* this was a HUGE seller for me, because of batteries I've had go bad in the past and I like the idea of being able to bring a backup when I go to conventions. My only dislikes are 1. it's a bit larger than I prefer a phone to be, but I'm sure I'll get used to it. and 2. the 8GB of storage, though with a micro SD card you can get a total of 136GB increasing the memory from my last phone (Lumia 1024 - 32GB) by about 104GB, I just wanted to be cheap and not spend the money on the micro SD, but it is worth it completely.

  • HI, GEO 46 Can you tell me your facebook name and profile please. I really need help for 640XL. Thanks

  • should i go for the htc 816 or should i buy the 640xl iam confused

  • Ma Lumia 520, is only 512mb ram... I can play asphalt 8(1.4gb) no lag.. No hang.. Butter smooth.. Windows phone doesn't need bidg ram,processor and battery like lagdroids .

  • 1GB of RAM is more than enough for a Windows Phone, I've been using it for a couple of weeks and performs much better that other android phones with even more RAM. Also the 3000mAh battery last two days or more. Previously I owned a Lumia 625 and worked with 512MB of RAM. I've compared to ZOPO ZP990 and Galaxy Grand 2 (work phone, 1.5GB RAM) and I think the 640 XL LTE performs better.

  • office cant edit 2004 excel files also no option in excel as like androids slow responce

  • Can any users share how the puny 1 gb RAM performs?

  • Yeah - skype

  • is the phone support video calling

  • Lamp

  • I have vlc player.. 1080p of MP4 and wmv are kk. But HD of mkv and flv handfs wen playing... But on moliplayer there is no lag..

  • Led flash

  • That's the Proximity sensor.

  • What are you talking about? Samsung (and other phone manufactures)screens are still AMOLED, no one stopped making them!

  • 259 ppi is fine and gives a nice clear picture on a 5.7" screen. Don't fall for the hype.

  • They use different operation systems (OS). Android is hugely popular so you get way more apps and games etc. It's like Microsoft Windows and Apple Mac computers. they run totally different operating systems.

  • Have you any idea about OS.. Windows is the No1 software brand in the world. And android is a open sorce OS, which make by google but devloped by many other companies...

  • Windows phone uses windows as os and android is a separate os developed by google.

  • please tell me the name of the small light beside the front camera ..

  • what is the difference of window and Andorid i am confuse plz.. Explain

  • Yes, you can watch the cricket on it. If you have a suitable internet/data connection.

  • this set is realy nice and also has good system if ihave more money then i purchase this set

  • can i watch live cricket streaming in Microsoft mobile please reply me as soon as posssible

  • they say this will come soon in market for past one month. I dont know whether they knew the meaning of 'coming soon'. And 1gb RAM s under the Par when compared to similar price range of other company.

  • i have 50" tv with only 1920x 1080. a lot worse?

  • I suggest to try VLC player.

  • Dear Microsoft ....5.7 inch screen with only 259 ppi pixel density.....is that sounds good to u....730 got a good display....atleast you should copied that to 640xl....

  • what about viber video call and facebook messenger call?

  • They shud have released the same phone at the same price with 16gb Rom, octa core processor which would also make it thinner and lighter, and 2gb ram... then they would find some success... As it is it is a huge sacrifice for someone to leave a fully developed ecosystem like IOS ans Android to switch to windows, the least they can do is offer some sweet deals...

  • IPS is better but if it is LED backlit and I think only Apple use them. As IPS displays are more natural and have neutral colors as compare to AMOLED which looks a bit better but are over saturated. I myself like AMOLED but after using them too much now I hate them IPS is better but if they are LED_Backlit then awesome

  • Hi Guyz, What about the bluetooth facilities in this phone.

  • Do your research -IPS LCD was indroduced in 1980's to improve old LCD's.After that LED displays came.And only after that in this millenium after 2008 that AMOLED displays became mainstream.Samusung and other companies stopped AMOLED production as it was costly.IPS LCD is the cheap old technology to keep ignorant customers satisfied.

  • Does this phone accepts ad-hoc wi-fi network from PC?

  • forget amoled do your research, IPS LCD capacitive touchscreen is better

  • Dearest friends.Microsoft is doing very well these days but sometimes makes unforgettable mistakes too!!!?Besides this good midrange lumia 640 XL LTE the rest of redundant lumia 640 have no chances of any success scientifically!?Because they are two years behind the right time to make on Time devices!!!Nevertheless we must waiting for the gsmArena.com perfect scientific review!!!Thanks all,Microsoft to listen,facts writing gsmArena.com!

  • I'm quite sure that soon Windows phones will come with windows 10 and then they MIGHT FINALLY be appealing for the majority of population

  • Can Microsoft release a phone with the following specs? 4.3 inch AMOLED Display, Windows 8.1.1, 16 GB ROM, 2 GB RAM. Thanks!

  • What color did you get? If white, is it getting dirty fast?

  • Am using this phone for 2 days battery backup is very good and other functions are excellent no heating or lag issue one thing it is a little bit big.this cellphone suitable for emailing;chatting;small games and internet browsing camera front and rear are good enough. For me it is better than android systems because it has arrangement interface and apps icons.

  • How much user memory available from 8 gb of total storage

  • Nah, most people don't care about having a camera button or even care that much about the camera quality, as long as it's ok.

  • The camera button is a must for every phone !!!,!!!!

  • Dearest friends.Unfortunately Microsoft has made the repetitions of Nokia's mistakes!!!?It didn't need to make 6 640s!!!The lumia 640 XL lte one sim and double sim were enough!!!Though there are outdated OS,incomplete WiFis,Bluetooth,plus other mistakes!!!?Scientifically this 640 XL LTE may have success in the markets but today is not the days for other lumuia 640s unless a miracle happens!!!Thanks gsmArena Justice Rights.

  • is this 640 xl would be good when compared to other xiaomi redmi note 4 phone

  • write review for this

  • Microsoft should release 740LTE with this camera and 730's pocketable size.

  • Dude 640 XL has 5mp wide angle Frnt cam.. Is it not enough for u??

  • By using moliplayer (similar to MX player in Android) u can play mkv,flv,avi,mp4,wmv formats.. Windows video player can play mp4 ,wmv avi only

  • Have this phone avi player ? Pls suggest me

  • Me too NIrmal .....

  • (Y)

  • Up coming mobile will have 4G technology and why the front camer will be given low capacity in microsoft lumia serice

  • you dont need to turn on and off your phone every 5 minutes. if you want to wake the screen just tap the screen twice.

  • Hi as usual 4G(LTE) version has not been released in India...too bad

  • I work at Metro. We Finance! lol

  • well, I hate camera key / button. very annoying

  • it will be defrent because in my country is 200$ but in KSA is 240$

  • hi all the price in jordan is 165 jd it like 200$ >>>>>>>>>> today is 5/4/2015

  • hi friends, is it the price exactly will be 270 EUR for this phone or will be different in every country ?

  • Microsoft Lumia 640XL LTE! I'm a Huge Fan of Bill Gates & Microsoft; and this will be my 1st ever Smart Phone. Waited for sometime until they launch their Flagship phone & for my Budget, this will be the Perfect Phone! Will buy it when it comes to Sri Lanka in another 1 or 2 weeks. Incredible Features & Specifications for an affordable price! I rate it 9.5/10 Thank you so much Microsoft! :)

  • 640xl is much better than the 535 but the 535 is cheaper

  • Do you guys think I should get the 640xl or the 735??

  • no suggestion pls.

  • lumia xl 640 will be good for u. othewise try moto g second gen.

  • nokia 1100

  • Because it's obviously more ergonomic to have it on the side, especially for large devices.

  • Is it best or 535

  • why the on/off button not on the top of the phone ????

  • only ghz 1.2 the best.

  • I am waiting

  • Just preordered this awesome phablet, �220 which is relatively a very good price here in Europe, big screen, big user replaceable battery, two decent cameras, card slot, reasonably thick at 9mm, gg3 protection, good enough chipset for me, i think it is very good value for the money, of course i am eagerly wating for the next Lumia flagship with killer specs, but until then this will do just fine :)

  • reviews please!

  • Yes your right.. The best in camera in a very clear photos. Expensive phones today spend their time with sleek designs,powerful CPUs, clearers and brighter display.. Its true they have a very bright display.. But in terms of photo shoot...its incomparable to what Nokia formula has.. Even iPhone is no match in videos and pictures....once zoom..

  • Its ok and is multi task. A mini PC, high quality camera ,and a phone...

  • With taxes the price will be 13.5k

  • congratulation nokia microsoft i m waiting for this window phone

  • i'm waiting for flagship phone of microsoft, it is still a months away.

  • i need reviews please...

  • this is phone super microsoft 640 xl lte and 640 lte.

  • I think some people have less brains or they don't see specifications carefully. they also launched LTE becoz in some metros airtel have 4g so whatz prob if people started 4g and 3g is also option n single n dual sim too hv option. m still using my Lumia 720 n m still happy like android windws phone tech nt become old this phone is best in phablet good btery good screen and ppi may be less but clear black display so u wont face prob and zeiss optics 13mp n 5mp front and sure shot upgradable to next. its been nearly m using 720 still its new in technlgy clear black carl zeiss super sensitive screen n still good battery so don't regret to buy windows windows phone nt turn old in tech as comparable to android based phone and this phone is good too n 90 percent of Indians buy budget phone so Microsoft targeting to giv max features in budget

  • I wana tell you that Nokia/Microsoft Lumia has made the best camera phones that's their cameras were a great hit.. I think don't you have used a Lumia with a rich capture tech... Just stop using your brain to think... Read the reviews about it's camera over various articles and you can also check out some of best Lumia phones camera grades in antutu benchmark...

  • Who is this phone for? Maybe Microsoft decided to wait till windows phone 10. Only the time will show. LUMIA 640 XL LTE: ~Slow processor speed (web pages wont open as snappy) ~No LTE for Unites States! ~Not even 1080p Display! (252 ppi is not smooth is 300 and up)

  • must be 13mp poor camera becos in this price tag its not posible 2 provide a good camera. No camera key. It should be provided by company;(

  • lumia 640xl for 190$ only ie 11.5k
