Microsoft’s brand new Windows 10-ready affordable Lumia phones

Microsoft on Monday at MWC 2015 announced a couple of new Lumia phones that will both be upgradeable to Windows 10 once the company rolls out its latest desktop and mobile operating system. The two handsets are the Lumia 640 and Lumia 640 XL that were leaked in the days preceding the event.


The two devices are almost similar, though one is a phone and the other one a phablet, as their names suggest, but neither handset is the flagship Microsoft Lumia handset you might be waiting for.

The phones will be launched in March and they’ll both be available in a variety of colors. The Lumia 640 will cost €139 (3G model), €159 (LTE model) and come in single-SIM and dual-SIM versions. The phablet costs €50 or €60 more, depending on chosen version.

As for specs, both devices pack a 1.2GHz quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon processor, 1GB of RAM, 8GB of storage — microSD support and 30GB of free OneDrive storage space is also included — and Windows Phone 8.1.
The Lumia 640 has a 5-inch HD display, 8-megapixel main camera and 2,500 mAh battery, while the Lumia XL has a bigger 5.7-inch HD display, 13-megapixel camera with Zeiss optics and 3,000 mAh battery
