Lumia 640 and Lumia 640 XL available for pre-order from Microsoft Store UK
Alexandra BurlacuThe recently announced Lumia 640 and Lumia 640 XL smartphones are now officially up for pre-order in the UK, straight from the Microsoft Store.
The Microsoft Lumia 640 and the larger Lumia 640 XL stirred plenty of interest when they made their official debut earlier this month at the Mobile World Congress (MWC) 2015, as they come with good specifications, LTE connectivity, and affordable price tags.
Back at the MWC, Microsoft offered no specific launch dates for its new Lumia 640 and Lumia 640 XL, and announced only estimate prices in euros. The company has now revealed more information regarding the UK launch of the two smartphones, complete with official prices and release dates.
Both the Microsoft Lumia 640 and the Lumia 640 XL are now available for pre-order via the Microsoft Store in the UK, and both are scheduled to ship next month. The Lumia 640 costs £169.99 including VAT and will ship on April 7, while the Lumia 640 XL phablet comes with a £219.99 price tag including VAT and will ship on April 28. Both prices are for the LTE versions of the smartphones.
As a reminder, both devices come with mid-range specs on board, and both run Microsoft's Windows Phone 8.1 with Lumia Denim. Moreover, both handsets will get the latest Windows 10 once it's ready to roll out.
The Microsoft Lumia 640 sports a 5-inch HD 720p display, a quad-core processor clocked at 1.2GHz, 1GB of RAM, and 8GB of internal storage capacity, expandable up to 128GB via microSD. Other specs include an 8-megapixel rear camera, a 0.9-megapixel front shooter, and a 2,500 mAh battery.
The larger Microsoft Lumia 640 XL features a 5.7-inch HD 720p display, a 1.2GHz processor, 1GB of RAM, 8GB of internal storage, microSD support for additional memory of up to 128GB, an 8-megapixel rear camera, a 5-megapixel front shooter, and a 3,000 mAh battery.
In other words, the Microsoft Lumia 640 and Lumia 640 XL may not boast the highest-end specs, but they should nonetheless deliver a good performance on a budget. The handsets are targeted at budget-conscious smartphone shoppers and affordability is among their major highlights.
Interested customers in the UK can now pre-order the Microsoft Lumia 640 from the Microsoft Store here, or the Lumia 640 XL at this link.
