A bigger sibling to the Lumia 640 that launched earlier this year, the Lumia 640 XL boasts a 5.7-inch display with HD (1280 x 720) resolution.

The handset runs on a Qualcomm Snapdragon 400 chipset, a quad-core Cortex-A7 CPU clocked at 1.2GHz, 1GB of RAM, 8GB internal memory, and a microSD card slot. The device also has Adreno 302 for decent graphics performance.

The camera department is composed of a 13MP primary camera at the back, and a 5MP shooter in front.

Rounding up the specs sheet is a massive 3,000mAh battery, and Windows Phone 8.1 Lumia Denim update. In the report, the device will be updated to Windows 10 when the new multi-platform OS gets released.

In the report, the Microsoft Lumia 640 XL costs £209.

Since acquiring Nokia last year, Microsoft has been doing everything to keep its Windows handsets afloat. Unfortunately, in spite absorbing Nokia's mobile division and launching a variety of system and performance updates, Windows Phone OS still hasn't improved in its sales compared to Android and iOS.
