First Look: Microsoft Lumia 640 XL on AT&T
June 26, 2015
Just as I was heading out to ship back the Lumia 735 review unit (I was sincerely sad to see it go) I was stalled by an early morning visitor. The FedEx man delivered the Microsoft Lumia 640 XL from AT&T. Straight out of the box, this unit is a beast – and in an almost silly way.
I'll be using this as my primary driver for the next week or so, but I'm already worried that I may have to invest in a new wardrobe of pants with larger pockets. But, until I'm ready for a formal review, here's a first look with comments and a dip into the specs.
