In this gallery, we offer a photo-based first look at the Nokia Lumia 640, which was announced earlier this year at MWC 2015. The affordable Windows Phone 8.1 device is a successor to both the Lumia 630 and 635 and has a 5.0", 720p resolution, IPS LCD screen, a 8-megapixel camera with LED flash, and a 2500 mAh battery.
Other notable features of the Lumia 640 include a 1-megapixel front facing camera, use of Corning Gorilla Glass 3 to protect the screen, and the bunding of Office 365 Personal. The Lumia 640, which is powered by the quad-core 1.2 GHz Snapdragon 400 (and 1GB RAM), is shipping now (most global markets), with a UK high-street SIM-free price of £119 (and as low as £79 on PAYG upgrades).
