14 DAY TRIAL // If you have been eyeing the Microsoft Lumia 640 XL and you’re living in Canada, we have good news for you.
The phone, which was introduced in the UK and India back in April, has now been made available in the country via Microsoft’s brick and mortar stores. So don’t try to find the phone online because your effort will be to no avail.
The handset is offered in white only in its unlocked form and will cost you the equivalent of $272 / €244. The Lumia 640 XL will bring you a 5.7-inch device with 720 x 1280 resolution display and 259 ppi. Under the hood lies a Snapdragon 400 SoC working in concert with an Adreno 305 GPU and 1GB of RAM, plus 8GB of internal storage.
The phone takes advantage of a microSD card slot, so if you need more storage on board, you’ll be able to expand it up to 128GB.
In the photography department, you’ll find a 13MP rear-facing camera with f/2.0 aperture and a 5MP frontal snapper. The handset is kept alive by a pretty decent 3,000 mAh battery.
We expect that the Microsoft Lumia 640 XL will eventually arrive on the shelves of US carrier AT&T, but for the time being, only Canadian smartphone enthusiasts are given the privilege of picking the phone up.
