Microsoft Lumia 640 XL

 

The Microsoft Lumia XL is essentially a super-sized version of the Lumia 640. It has a huge Note 4-rivalling 5.7-inch screen, more megapixels and a bigger battery to play with than the smaller 640. Elsewhere, it's much of the same. It runs on Windows...

Great battery life ; Solid all-round camera ; Slick overall performance

Too big to use in one hand ; Windows Store content lags behind rivals ; Get better value for money elsewhere

Microsoft Lumia 640 XL review

 

The Lumia 640's big brother gives a whole lot of screen

Affordable price ; Solid construction ; Big, bright screen ; Long-lasting battery

Low internal storage ; Windows Phone playing catch-up ; Low performance rating

Microsoft's mid-range phablet is certainly affordable, but lacks the improvements of Windows 10 for phone at the moment.

Microsoft Lumia 640 XL review: Budget beauty

 

Microsoft's Lumia launch plans continue to run at full speed, most recently resulting in two affordable handsets: the Lumia 640 and its phablet-sized XL cousin. It's the latter device, the Lumia 640 XL, with its 5.7-inch screen and aggressive price...

Battery life, great value for money, good camera, solid build

Slow, poor reception, minimal storage

The Microsoft Lumia 640 XL has surprised us. We've been critical of some phones in the past that seemed big with no real advantage to their size. Although larger phones are becoming more common - and the 640 XL is among the largest out there - we're...

Microsoft Lumia 640 XL LTE review: Big features, small price

 

Microsoft Lumia 640 XL LTE offers 4G speeds, a 5.7-inch screen and a great rear camera at a surprisingly low cost.

The Microsoft Lumia 640 XL LTE has a bright 5.7-inch screen, works on LTE networks, and has an impressive rear camera and long-lasting battery life.

The 720p resolution makes for a lower pixel density than you may want. The processor is a little under-specced for power-users, and the plastic casing can't match the premium feel of some phones.

It's no flagship, but the Microsoft Lumia 640 XL LTE offers a solid big-screen experience at a budget price point that's hard to beat.

Microsoft Lumia 640 XL review

 

For those who believe in their bones: bigger is better

Large punchy screen great for video ; Neat Glance screen ; Good battery life

It’s a phone behemoth ; Windows doesn’t exploit screen size

If you want a big screen for a small price you'll want to size up this lovely Lumia

Microsoft Lumia 640 XL Review: In Depth

 

Microsoft's Lumia 640 is already making its mark on the UK market, but now the bigger, beefier 640 XL is here. So how does it square up to the competition?

Solid user experience ; Rich camera experience ; Great battery life ; Affordable

Laggy performance ; Limited app store

As phablets go, Microsoft’s Lumia 640 XL has quickly won us over. It’s an undeniably feature rich handset and despite being a little underpowered, delivers on the performance side too. It’s a well-balanced big-screened smartphone with a top-notch...

Microsoft Lumia 640 and XL review

 

The new Lumia 640 and Lumia 640 XL will launch globally this month although a specific UK release date remains to be seen. Price wise they're going to be affordable starting at 139 Euros for the smaller model and 189 Euros for the XL – those prices...

The new Microsoft Lumia 640 and XL are nice looking smartphones and they will be relatively cheap. An upgrade to Windows 10 is also a positive if you're a fan of the platform. However, there's little to get excited about here in terms of specs. These...

Microsoft's 5.7-inch Lumia 640 XL is big and cheap (hands-on)

 

This 5.7-inch beast of a midrange smartphone goes a step past the Lumia 640 in size and specs.

Microsoft Lumia 640 XL review: Budget phone, big screen

 

A 5.7in screen and a 13-megapixel camera for less than £200 – the Nokia Lumia 640 XL offers a lot for very little

Despite its shortcomings, the Lumia 640 XL presents decent value for money at only £183. Its design is striking, and while its screen may not be particularly sharp, Microsoft’s ClearBlack technology mostly makes up for that, delivering a pleasingly...
