Microsoft unveiled its latest
Lumia 640 and 640 XL smartphones this week
at Mobile World
Congress 2015 in Barcelona,
Spain. The new devices offer 5-inch or
5.7-inch HD displays,

respectively, and pricing
that starts at $154 for a basic Lumia 640 model with
3G connectivity
and rises to about $242 for a
640 XL with LTE capabilities.
Both new smartphones will be
upgradeable to Windows 10 after its release
later in 2015, and
both will be available in
single-SIM or dual-SIM versions, as well as versions
incorporating 3G
or Long-Term Evolution (LTE)
connectivity, according to Microsoft.
The latest Lumia handsets
come in two sizes and models, just like Apple's
iPhone 6 and
iPhone 6 Plus models and
Samsung's newest Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S6 Edge
devices.
It appears to be an ongoing
market trend to sell standard and phablet-sized
versions of key
handsets to offer more
consumer choice while reusing many key components
in both models.
The Lumia 640 and 640 XL both
share some key basic features, including
1.2GHz quad-core
Qualcomm Snapdragon 400
processors, 1GB of RAM, 8GB of on-board storage,
which is
expandable to 128GB with a
micro SD card, and 30GB of free Microsoft
OneDrive cloud
storage. Both devices also run
on the Windows Phone 8.1 operating system,
including the
Lumia Denim update, which
offers useful features, such as Live
Folders, a one-swipe
Action Center and fast
texting with Word Flow.
