Earlier this month, at the Mobile World Congress 2015 in Barcelona, Spain, Microsoft introduced its two newest smartphone devices targeted toward consumers who are on a budget. These new budget smartphones are called the Nokia Lumia 640 and the Lumia 640 XL.
The Lumia 640 is a 5-inch screen and the 640 XL has a larger 5.7-inch screen. Both smartphones will be made available in either dual-SIM or LTE versions in April of this year. They will be released pre-loaded with the Windows 8.1 OS and will be upgradeable to the Windows 10 OS after its release later in the year.
The Lumia 640 has an 8 MP rear camera and a 0.9 MP front camera. The camera on the Lumia 640 XL is upgraded to 13 MP in the rear and 5 MP in the front. Both smartphones have Bluetooth 4.0 capabilities, FM radio, assisted GPS, Internet radio, USB 2.0 and Wi-Fi.
The 640 XL has a larger battery at 3,000 mAh, while the 640 battery is only 2,500 mAh. The 640 XL provides 23.7 hours of talk time on a 3G connection and has a standby time of up to 39 days. Originally, the Lumia 640 XL was going to be called the Lumia 1330, but the company decided to change it to the 640 XL to emphasize its likeness to the 640.
Included with the purchase of either smartphone is a 1-year subscription to Microsoft Office 365. It gives you the full Office on the Go suite and a copy for the Mac or PC and the tablet. The subscription also adds a storage amount of 1 TB via OneDrive, and 60 minutes' worth of free Skype calls to landlines in 60 countries and mobiles phones in 8.
Both of the Microsoft Lumia smartphones will be made available for purchase in black, white, orange and glossy cyan. The Lumia 640 XL is planned for launch in late March and will be priced at right around $200.00. The Lumia 640 is planned for launch sometime in April and will have a starting price of $149.00.
