The Microsoft Lumia 640 is a compact, feature-rich affordable 5-inch mobile that showcases the best of Microsoft's mobile apps and productivity tools.
Superb value for money ; Lumia camera applications ; 12 months free subscription to Microsoft 365 Personal included
Poor app store experience

Introducing the successor to the Nokia Lumia 635
Impressive display ; Great battery life ; Decent camera
Not the best looking ; Older processor ; Windows apps lag behind
With a 5-inch 720p screen, quad-core processor, strong battery life and excellent camera the Lumia 640 is Windows Phone's answer to the Moto G. For friends, family and everyone in general, you'd have real trouble doing better than this.

Microsoft took to the stage at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona to talk about Windows 10, but also introduce two new Lumia handsets. Stephen Elop teased

The Microsoft Lumia 640 is a worthy upgrade over the Lumia 630, and this Windows Phone now presents very good value for money. This is the Moto G of the Windows world, with a near-identical spec and a £20 lower price tag. Which phone you choose will...
Expert review by : Andrew Hoyle (cnet.co.uk)
The budget end of the phone market is dominated by a slew of Android phones, most of which have near-identical black or grey designs and the same outdated software that slogs through even the basics.
Both the screen and camera are among the best you'll find at this price, you can swap out the back panels for fresh colours, and the Windows Phone software is easy to use.
The front camera has a very poor resolution, the battery life is short, and the under-stocked app store won't please anyone wanting the latest apps and games.
The great screen and camera make the Lumia 640 a brilliant phone for anyone on a budget who wants an alternative to Android -- so long as you aren't too bothered about apps.
Expert review by : Chris Barraclough (recombu.com)
A glorious screen, smart camera tech and impressively awesome value for money make the Microsoft Lumia 640 a great phone for all.
Sharp 720p screen ; Strong camera ; Great battery life
Glossy body lacks sex appeal
Microsoft’s Lumia 640 offers seriously great value for money, packing HD visuals, excellent optics and a satisfying user experience for around £150 (or £100 if you opt for the non-4G model), making it a solid rival to the Moto G. If you’re after an...

Don't sweat its small size, the little Lumia 640 was designed to do bigger things
Expert review by (which.co.uk)
The Microsoft Lumia 640, the smaller sibling of the Lumia 640 XL, seems to offer a compromise between price and decent specifications. We like the clear screen, but does it have the processing power to make it a Best Buy? We tested this phone to find...
Expert review by : mfereday (gadgetspeak.com)
While Android and iOS are the dominant force with regards to smartphones, they are not the only choice. Windows Phone 8.1, with a promised upgrade to Windows Phone 10, is a viable alternative.
Continuing to play “Catch-up” and join the major players of Android and Apple in the mobile phone arena, Microsoft has released the Lumia 640 as it first offering to appear without any reference to the Nokia name that was previously associated with the...

Techworld reviews the already available Lumia 640 for Windows, as well as the soon-to-be released Lumia 640 XL phablet.
The input from Cortana and a really intuitive interface give the Microsoft OS a thumbs up, but occasional closure of the FM radio app starts to grate. Meanwhile the XL is a brilliant option for someone looking to use their phone in a business scenario...
