Lumia 640 XL runs Windows Phone 8.1 Update 2, which contains all the attributes of the Lumia Denim update with some other improvements. The brand new features on Lumia 640 XL include advancements to the Settings program, where you are able to get to any setting immediately through the in-app search. You can even pin often-used settings to your home screen as a live tile. To pin, just tap and hold the required setting icon and you will notice an option to pin it to start.
Settings now also allows you to control which programs have access to Contacts, Messaging, Camera, Calendar, and Microphone.
The Lumia 640 XL comes with several pre-loaded Lumia-branded programs like Lumia Camera, Lumia Beamer, Lumia Creative Studio, Lumia Cinemagraph, Lumia Selfie, Lumia Moments, and Lumia Storyteller. It also has third party programs pre-loaded such as WeChat, BBM, Facebook, MobiKwik, BookMyShow, Foodpanda, Fitbit, Olacabs, and NDTV. Thankfully, these applications can be uninstalled in case you don’t want to keep.
Sadly, there are not any application tweaks which make utilization of the additional real estate – not even a token Reachability-like tweak found on the newer and larger iPhone models – and definitely nothing matching to Android’s floating programs that set the increased display space to wonderful use. Having stated that, most Android cellphones in this budget are also problems with the same faults, therefore it might not be fair to point on only Microsoft. The Lumia 640 XL is going to be updated to Windows 10, and this can be one place where Microsoft definitely scores on the Android world.
