Microsoft Lumia 640 Review

Microsoft has released the Lumia 640 and is the budget phone with quality display and also good rear camera.

Latest Microsoft news is that the Lumia 640 does not seem like the budget smartphone. It is a £110 worth the handset and is well-built. Not only the headset is fast but also possesses the point and shoot camera with a very solid quality picture. The company has built its position for an impressive build quality and also the hardware design.

With the newest phone in the market, these facts not seem to have changed despite its mobile division being acquired by Microsoft in 2013. However, the hardware design being impressive and brilliant is not enough for Lumia 640 that has to be redeemed and has its hands being tied by the Windows OS which is rather lackluster and not to forget the annoying emptiness in the apps’ quality.

There are issues with Lumia 640 but none of them points to the hardware issues. The plastic shell of a bright color has become a familiar ground for design team and that doesn’t come out as being less impressive. Nobody should be fooled by the price tag related to budget that it has, the polymer rear case gives it quite a premium feel. Only being judged upon the hardware and design quality, the Lumia 640 could win over the flagship phones that have lately been launched, LG G4 even.

The plastic case which is silk-smooth can feel slippery sometimes and the button for sleep/wake is residing a little far down on the right side of the phone, however these quibbles are minor. It has been housed under the case that is quite bright in color, also consists of 1 GB RAM and quad-core Snapdragon 400. The both features are making it smoother for the tile-centric OS to run. It is only 8.8 mm in measurement, the phone may not come out as svelte the recent phones being flag shipped but does impress quite a lot.

Microsoft news reports that the handset can support MicroSD cards which are upto 128 GB and most likely be the purchase which is essential for Lumia 640 users, since the phone has only n8GB internal storage. The battery life of the phone is excellent and the phone users can be thankful about it. The display that the Lumia has should get appreciation for the parent company, Microsoft.

The 294 pixels being boasted at the five inch screen is crystal clear and also colorful compared to other phones such as Sony Xperia E4. There has been an impressive software bundle being put together by Microsoft with the phone. There will access to the tech giant’s apps by the users including Excel, Word and PowerPoint on this budget phone.
