Plain Design
Average processor
Just 8GB onboard storage
Processor is showing its age
Little change in design from one generation to the next
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 lik...
Taking my cue from the review title, the Lumia 640 is perhaps the first budget Windows Phone for which no apology is needed, no caveat required, when recommending it to a friend or relative. Previous devices always had to have some rider attached: "It'...
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 afford...
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...

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....
Amazing value, Solid build quality, Great battery,
Camera could be better, A little slow from time to time, Limited storage out of the box,
I'm honestly surprised at just how capable the Lumia 640 is as a budget smartphone; I used it for just under a week and didn't miss rocking a flagship anywhere near as much as I thought. The only real downside to the Lumia 640 is that its camera leaves a...
Impressive display, DualSIM option, 4G version available
Similar design, Lack of information in areas
The Lumia 640 is a worthy update to the Lumia 635 and the addition of a Full HD display makes for a beautiful looking phone. With an affordable price it's looking like the Lumia 640 will be a go to option for Windows Phone fans....
