Also eying on 640xl.. hehehe..my s4 almost caput already

same here..eyeing on 640xl..but no im comparing the camera with Zenfone 2 laser. not much feedbacks from zenfone 2 laser as it is new

yup, 640 XL is the phone that perfectly fits your requirement. it matches all your bullet points except maybe for single sim. there are single sim 640 xl, but Microsoft main production line focuses on the dual sim versions of their phones, so single sim is harder to find.

If you are concerned of sim card detection problem you should be pleased to note that windows phone boots up and detects sim card very quickly, so there is no drawback in taking the dual sim version at all.

btw, windows phone has excellent camera app that makes low mp camera takes comparable or better photos than Android phones with higher mp. So you will be blown away by 640 xl's 13mp camera.

There are 2 models, lumia 640 XL 3G & Lumia 640 XL LTE.
which model is nice & suitable for use?

Thanks.

are you using LTE(for mobile internet)? otherwise there is no point going for the more expensive LTE model.

Outdoor picture are superb. No doubt on this but you might be struggling with indoor/low light.
The flash is also consider not very bright for dark environment.

If you can spend a bit might as well take the LTE. Consider it future proof in case you upgrading your data.

If you are a gamer, don't pick this phone. The hardware is just to average to run games and Windows Store have limited choices of exciting games. Also some of the popular apps sometimes are in beta, eg Instagram and some no longer updated (Waze etc).

Overall it's value for money but it's really depends on users.

Here's some pics i took with my 640 XL:

Sorry, is it can say that even windows phone with camera 8mp and with excellent camera app is better photo than android also?

Coz Lumia 640 is with 8mp

Yes, currently using LTE phone (redmi note 4G) but 3G sim card;p

You can go to Windows Central 640 users forum to see photos they took:

if you want that 13mp offered by the XL. go for it since it is your price range. It also not just the difference in mp. It is also difference between and general purpose lense VS professional standard Carl Zeiss lenses.

you can check reviews also

It says a lot when a RM800 phone's camera can compete with the RM2-3k S6

then you can make the call yourself on that one, my opinion is it ain't worth it if you ain't using. And I'm not one of those in the camp of future proofing a phone. a PC/laptop maybe, they stay in use longer.

Mobile phones just got changed so quickly it always best to look for the best price for what you need instead of future. Many new features of flagships are gimmicks that never catch on anyway.

just wondering, 640XL doesn't have pureview?

Windows phone within this price, only Lumia 640XL is highly recommended.

Went to Microsoft shop, the price is diff what I browse.
Lumia 640XL RM1039
Lumia 640 RM739.

You all buy windows phone from Microsoft shop?

Bought Lumia 640XL LTE from AVAX on July for RM602 when they did promotion at Menara TM..
