If you have been waiting for Lumia 640 and 640 XL like me then you will be happy to read this post where I will enumerate my first thoughts on these much-awaited phablets and how they are an improvement over the previous big screen mobiles (lovingly called phablets) by Microsoft or previously by Nokia.

I am very excited about Lumia 640 and 640 XL because both these phones are an improvement over the previous Lumia phones like 635, 630 etc.

They have given these new lumias
a) bigger screens at 5 and 5.70 inch,
b) a glance screen,
c) a rear camera with Zeiss optics,
d) Ambient light and proximity sensors are back,
e) higher resolution HD display,
f) a camera with dynamic flash and built-in HDR
g) 1 GB Ram

Final verdict:

I dont say that the phones will be perfect. They may have some flaws which will be seen only with time but for now, I give both these phablets two thumbs up. At this price and with sturdy hardware and cool features, they are a great pick! :)
