First Microsoft Store in Asia Pacific coming to Malaysia on 9 May 2015

The larger Microsoft Lumia 640 XL recently passed into our hands for a little hands-on of the 5.7-inch display Lumia smartphone. Other notable tech specs include a 13MP rear camera with ZEISS lens and a 5MP front camera. Unlike the Lumia 640, the larger Lumia 640 XL has a matte back with a raised camera perhaps due to the ZIESS lens and larger sensor size. Despite the larger screen, we found the Lumia 640 XL to be surprisingly comfortable in the hand with a fairly thin profile despite being 9mm thick. At 171g it weighs lighter than most phablets but do check out our hands-on photos below for yourself.

The recently released Microsoft Lumia 640 Dual SIM is the slightly smaller smartphone compared to the Lumia 640 XL but for Windows Phone users it does offer a much larger screen than most are used to. That being said, the Lumia 640 is slimmer and more compact with a glossy surface backside. Like most other Lumias the Lumia 640 felt quite solid but still quite lightweight at 145g. The 8MP rear camera is flat compared to the other smartphone though and looks sleeker as well. Check out our hands-on photos in this article.
