Typo “The 13MB camera with ZEISS optics on Lumia 640 XL and the 8MP camera on Lumia 640” :P
In Camera section correct 13MB to 13 MP
Just one look at the 640 XL and it was love at first sight. It’s a beauty! I’m definitely getting it, even if just as a secondary phone to play around with. My main phone is going to be whatever flagship Microsoft announces in May after BUILD so I can fully enjoy all the bells and whistles of Windows 10.
Really want to get this Lumia 640 XL
Let’s see when it will be available in Pakistan markets
