nice video, I like that u showed wp startup from the box (not like in the other reviews), and your reaction to some surprises from wp was funny, because I'm o newbie too, just waiting for delivery. the phone is really balanced for the budget category, and battery is one of the best in the range of lumias. thank u)))
thank u for making a in-depth review of this masterpiece. other reviewers just talk about specs and don't give a in-depth review of the phone. i have been a fan of android phones since the htc shift but just watching this vid i am going to purchase this phone... thank u keep it up mate.
Thank you for the great unboxing. Very refreshing to the majority of the videos on youtube that last 45 seconds with some teenager yelling as they rip the box apart and that is all.
I don't understand why not a single video that I have seen of this phone ever shows the dialer and how the contacts look. This IS a phone, and the most important part of a phone.
I enjoyed this and it made me more confident about setting up my new phone. I like the humour! I got this phone to replace an old Samsung and think I am going to like it.
The speaker may be an issue if you're on loudspeaker during a call, and your phone is resting face-up on a flat, non-porous surface... Other than that, I think it's great for an entry-level smartphone.
genocidalgerbil Huawei phones have very good build quality but they are underpowered for Android making them slow to respond and worst of all Huawei NEVER updates Android so you are stuck with whatever version you buy it with. Also their camera's are sub par. I have owned an Ascend Mate for 2 years. I got it because of price and it is ok but the new Lumias blow away what Huawei has to offer.
genocidalgerbil The Lumia 640 and Moto G 2nd Gen were my top 2 picks but I bought the Moto G 2nd Gen a couple days ago when it was on sale for $139.99 on Amazon (deal of the day). I am currently using Lumia 635 as I am a huge fan of it and windows so I may still get Lumia 640.
Let me see, do I want a thin phone with a built in plastic case. Or do I want a metal phone that needs be covered with a plastic cast that I have to pay extra for?
I was going to buy this phone, until I found out that it's sold out in the store... I called my dad to buy me one while he's in the Middle East, and he said it's been sold out there too... ...and so I ended up buying the 640XL. I'm kind of bummed that it is bigger than what I preferred, but I guess I have to be happy with the better specs overall compared to the 640. The 50 pixel difference between the two don't make much of a difference for me, as the display in both phones is amazing. Do you think I have to get a screen protector for this? I actually bought a screen protector, but I kind of f**ked up the installation... so I wonder if I really need to have a screen protector.
Looking at upgrading from my Lumia 800 to this possibly... or get a new battery replacement and USB charger connection for £35 for my Lumia 800 as its a bit hit and miss when charging, and the battery really doesn't last long now (3 years old) cant find it for £120, more like £129... love WP. but was opting for a really nice camera on a budget phone.... think I'll be happy with this?
i have a problem....i have a set of earphones (Panasonic RP-TCM125-K) and when i listen to music they play fantastic....however i want to buy a new pair of earphones but none of them are good beacause when i try to listen through them the music very loud (with too much bass) or the voice of the singers are sounding like they are far away.....are there good earphones for lumia 640 apart from my panasonic???
Displays are the same, camera is better on Lumia 920, processor is faster on Lumia 640. Lumia 640 is larger and is much newer, but Lumia 920 has wireless charging. In Lumia 640 you can replace battery and cover, baterry lasts longer, but on Lumia 920 you have two-stage shutter and has 32 GB of internal storage. They are very different and they are both excellent! I will buy a phone very soon and I need your opinion...
Good choice!If you never used Windows phone before you will be confuse in first days but after that you will see that is the best Operative System for mobiles.
I would get a new battery if I were you. I bought a battery online for my iPhone 5 for really cheap and it's better it lasts longer your iPhone 5 is still a very powerful phone with a lot of capabilities buy a new battery and you be just fine and if that doesn't work buy a rechargeable case for your phone so it will last extremely long
Okay, that's the news: Death and destruction everywhere. Every news organization ever XD I am just hoping that my carrier will get the phone. I really like it but if my carrier doesn't have it, then. I am SOL. I will know when it hits the U.S. stores.
First, it must be said, I love your voice! Very calming and I much enjoy your accent :) Awesome video!

Yeah I agree with you
seems most phones these days are as refused on their ability and extra features than the phone quality itself
Thanks for unboxing and fast review. This video is nice, its more personal then others reviews. Really nice phone, i am going for one. Nice day!!
14:51 her answer is a reference to "halo" (a video game)in which Cortana originates from.
Anybody notice it is Microsoft Lumia 640 and the time on phone printed on box is 6:40 amazing
It is time not scene in video
your voice man! amazing
I could just go to sleep with that voice haha

WHERE DO U GET SPONGE CAKE?
The speaker may be an issue if you're on loudspeaker during a call, and your phone is resting face-up on a flat, non-porous surface... Other than that, I think it's great for an entry-level smartphone.
I'm torn between getting this, the Moto G 2nd Gen or the Huawei Ascend G7.
genocidalgerbil Honestly, the Moto G would be my pic. Or The Huawei 4x
***** mmmm, I haven't heard of the 4x. I'll have a look at it. Thanks for replying.

I would pick the Moto. They are all gid but the Moto has the most going for it. The 640 XL would also be preferred.
thanks for the detailed review

I recommend you to take Lumia 640 instead of Lumia 535 for not much different prices but much better quality.
Looking at upgrading from my Lumia 800 to this possibly...
or get a new battery replacement and USB charger connection for £35 for my Lumia 800 as its a bit hit and miss when charging, and the battery really doesn't last long now (3 years old)
cant find it for £120, more like £129...
love WP. but was opting for a really nice camera on a budget phone.... think I'll be happy with this?
neosalad Yes, definitely. My other half has it and I have the 830. Its a great phone.
Nice tutorial! Should I charge the phone for about 8 hours before it's first use?
i have a problem....i have a set of earphones (Panasonic RP-TCM125-K) and when i listen to music they play fantastic....however i want to buy a new pair of earphones but none of them are good beacause when i try to listen through them the music very loud (with too much bass) or the voice of the singers are sounding like they are far away.....are there good earphones for lumia 640 apart from my panasonic???
i come from Indonesia..and i used Lumia 520...i really love it and next time i will buy lumia 535
+ColdVetle! lumia 535 is shit. the touch has problems.
Can you please help me choose between Lumia 640 and Lumia 920?
***** But what about wireless charging, two stage shutter and awesome camera? It's really hard to decide... :'(
Karlo Mustać The Lumia 920 is a flagship device. It's much better. Better display, camera and faster processor. Also, more sturdy build quality :)

They are very different and they are both excellent! I will buy a phone very soon and I need your opinion...
Sinister Steel Design? I like 920's design much more. And 920 has much more features.
Is Qualcomm Snapdragon 400 faster than Quad Core 1.2 GHz?
I have one and its the best mobile i had until today!The Windows Phone is amazing!
+Luis Filipe Silva Thanks for the +ve feedback. I am going to get one.
Good choice!If you never used Windows phone before you will be confuse in first days but after that you will see that is the best Operative System for mobiles.
I have a Lumia 636...the only difference between 635 & 636 is that 636 supports LTE
nice budget phone and it look compact
Any idea when 840 Is gonna come to the market? It's annoying dafuq outta me

Best review!
I am curious, how does this phone compare to my good old iphone 5.
Is it worthy as a replacement (I either need a new battery or a new phone)
I would get a new battery if I were you. I bought a battery online for my iPhone 5 for really cheap and it's better it lasts longer your iPhone 5 is still a very powerful phone with a lot of capabilities buy a new battery and you be just fine and if that doesn't work buy a rechargeable case for your phone so it will last extremely long
