Abstract: The Microsoft Lumia 640 XL is a mid-range device that released in April. It's proving very popular in markets such as India and is also available in other countries such as the UK and more recently the US. We thought it was time for a close look at this p...

Bright, sturdy shell, decent camera, HD screen, Microsoft extras, good battery life, 4G, lowish price
Processor struggles a little, size won't suit everyone
The Microsoft Lumia 640 XL is bigger than its predecessor and it comes with a significantly improved camera. It's a shame that the screen resolution has effectively dropped and that there is not a little more power available. If you need the extra-large...
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 punchy...
Good size screen, Good picture quality, Smooth and responsive OS, Windows Phone OS very pleasant to use, Decent battery life, Good photos
Screen brightness could be better, HD resolution is a bit low for this size screen
The technical specs of the Lumia 640 XL might not seem up to much, but Microsoft clearly knew what it was doing. The phablet runs perfectly and is great for day-to-day use, whatever you need your phone for. Of course, the handset has its faults, but none...
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 Lumia 640 XL LTE offers a solid big-screen experience at a budget price point that's hard to beat...

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...

There isn't a lot of competition in this “economy large-screen” class today, with Huawei's Mate costing £100 more. Samsung once threw its Galaxy Grand into this category, but sidelined it in favour of the Note, and today Samsung's Note 4 is twice the pric...

Great value, Office 365 subscription and OneDrive allowance included, Excellent integration with Windows ecosystem
Comparative lack of apps, large screen can be unwieldy
For business users, the Lumia 640 XL is a fantastic smartphone. It has outstanding integration with the Office app family, a brace of features geared towards enterprise use, will be part of the eventual Windows Phone 10 rollout, and to top it all off, it...
Abstract: Meet the Microsoft Lumia 640 XL, the second of two brand new budget handsets from the Windows Phone maker. As its name suggests, it packs in phablet sizing, but for a fairly low cost. Is it a safe bet by Microsoft, or is it the best Windows Phone you can ...
