display
With 5-inch screen and 1080 x 720 pixel resolution can compete with much more expensive mid-range smartphones. The colors are also clear and rich in contrast appears on the display. The viewing angle of the IPS panel is fairly large, with a strong tendency to view faded but. The screen is - unlike in previous cheap Lumia devices - very good fit in the chassis housing. The ratio of the display area to the total size is generally good, the side frame but could be much narrower.
Relatively flat, but not ultra-thin: The Lumia 640 Dual SIM test the design and sturdy plastic materials to make a solid overall, but not high-quality impression. The tile background of the user interface can be adapted to request the housing.
operating system
We have a general over the operating system Windows Phone compiled details. What is fairly new: the digital assistant called Cortana. By "her" you can perform simple voice commands and questions. Who knows Apple's Siri or Google Now, can get a rough picture of the operational mode.
The Lumia 640 Dual SIM there again in the typical Microsoft, bright colors - but also in plain black.
Mobile Internet
Those who value fast browsing, streaming, etc., do not want to miss LTE today. Then is important to pay attention to the exact model. Because the Lumia 640 Dual is available both with and without these latest transmission standard. A point which one it will be happy to see: Even the own cell phone contract has to play along. LTE uses only a little, if the tariff of the SIM card that also supports and a very high maximum Mbit / s-rate offers.
Very strange: usually we indicate if a cell phone does not support all 4G frequencies. The 640 Dual SIM is this problem - but is not strangely at all German UMTS frequencies. At least, it is with the 1900 MHz 3G band not compatible according to the datasheet. In the test was not to find out which frequency has been used just locally - we had anyway no problems with the 3G use. Possibly lacking the corresponding entry in the mobile phone details and only.
Dual-SIM Control
Like other WIndows Phone models in the test offers the Lumia 640 Dual SIM - both with and without LTE - a very good control of the inserted SIM card. This is mainly due to the live tiles. Because the Phone tile and the SMS-tile can be separately put both SIM1 and SIM2 for the Start Screen. This one has several advantages:-
Convenient: Separate Phone tiles for SIM1 and SIM2 in Lumia 640 Dual SIM.
- One can see how many SMS arrived on each individual number.
- One can directly tap to call (or to ledges) from the home screen, each desired SIM card and only needs to type the destination number.
At the same time accessible to both numbers
Both phones are available in parallel to receive incoming calls and short messages - or to himself another call or to write. While the phone on a map, the other is, however, not be used simultaneously. This "standby" principle can be avoided by Microsoft's "Smart Dual SIM". This need not necessarily be to ensure that you missed an important call on professional SIM1 during a call, for example on a privately used SIM2.For "smart" by the adjustment can be for both SIM cards each "call waiting" and / or "Forward" set.Whether incurred in their mobile tariff for such diversions fees, but you should check beforehand.More SIM functions
- Convenient: For individual contacts you can define it in the SIM settings, if you want this call via the same SIM card always.
- Each SIM can be described with a desired domain name
- For a data connection it is necessary to select the desired SIM before. However, one can this setting directly through the Status menu (wipe from the top of the screen) change.
- Each SIM card can be switched off separately
camera
The main camera is 8 megapixels thanks to image resolution for true souvenir photos that you would like to reflect on larger screen or television. Precision, color values and contrast are good. The bezel has problems in low light conditions, otherwise there are no particular criticisms. With autofocus, LED flash and four x digital zoom provides the Lumia provides the basic utility functions. A optical image stabilizer are nowhere.
Almost a joke, however, is the front camera. A mere 0.9 megapixels is the resolution. Anyone who really wants quick time record and post a snapshot, can be satisfied. But for more quality is not enough.And real bestseller offer in Selfiecam even more pixels than the Lumia 640 uses in its rear camera.
power
The Qualcomm Snapdragon 400 processor is well suited for everyday tasks, but is clearly in the lower middle class. Even the memory meets only basic needs. With 1 GB of RAM, the Lumia 640 has just a quarter of the capacity of the current top smartphones. And the internal memory falls with 8GB compared low from. The most popular apps and simple games are no problem, but when it comes to 3D games or complex computing tasks, you should rather put on other phones - which are quite and look at Microsoft. However, to most markedly higher price.Technology and mobile Details
