BYE BYE IPHONE! SIRI YOU'RE FIRED!!!!!
MY FIRST DETAILED* REVIEW
*THERE'S NO WAY OF ORGANIZING ALL THE GOOD THINGS ABOUT LUMIA 640. So I apologize for all those OCD review readers*
I was an IPhone USER FOR 5 YEARS and I had played with the Lumia's at a near Microsoft store every now and then. What happened is that I got tired of the bugs and poor iOS releases (iOS9 sucks on iPhone 4s) and issues of the phone that made me angry just by using it. The lags and everything had me tired so I went to the Microsoft store and I got this amazing wonder.
So, you got a Microsoft Lumia 640 with 1gb of RAM and a 8 megapixel camera with a LED flash. The phone runs amazing on OneDrive, Office and emails. (I'm in charge of coordinating groups of students and makes job easier by emailing a document scanned with windows lens , converting it to pdf and emailing it in a minute). It's a great phone for students (college) at any level.
Pros: (mentioned in random order)
1.Flash (LED for the camera)
2.Made by the pioneers of Sofware (WON'T LAG even with 15 apps open and running)
3.Battery LIFE is like OMG (8 HOURS HEAVY USE to go down to 20% power saver) it's the best I tried.
4.Replaceable battery (OH YEAH no more APPLE STORE OR TECH'S RIP-OFF)
5.EXPANDABLE MEMORY!
6.BIG SCREEN AND VERY HD!
7.CHANGEABLE BATTERY DOOR (DONT LIKE IT BLACK? GO CYAN, WHITE, ORANGE AND YELLOW)
8.DEFAULT SWYPE KEYBOARD!
9.Every picture you take its AUTOMATICLY UPLOADED TO ONEDRIVE AND NEITHER YOU AND YOUR BATTERY WILL NOTICE!
10. CORTANA!!!! If you had an iPhone and you felt frustrated with her because she didn't listened, I get you.
-So you can set Cortana to learn to know your taste. You can set preferences on topics like weather, sports, traffic, news etc. You simply touch the Cortana tile and all that info will pop up without asking. SIRI YOU'RE FIRED!!!! Cortana is more personal. and fast. Ah ! if you listen a song you ask Cortana what song it is and will keep a list of tagged songs so you don't have to take screenshots like using Siri or buying them at the moment.
OHH !!! and a little one: If you install Lumia moments, and use the Lumia camera app (factory installed) when you take a picture and review it under the Lumia camera app YOU WILL SEE A LIVE PHOTO EFFECT JUST LIKE THE IPHONE 6S!!!!!
>>>>>>>>AND THE LUMIA ITS ONLY $80!!!!!!!!!! WOW!!!!!! THANK YOU MICROSOFT FOR BRINGING REAL INNOVATION AND THE OPPORTUNITY FOR EVERYONE TO EXPERIENCE A BETTER EXPERIENCE THAN IPHONE WITHOUT PAYING $500+ FOR THE PHONE AND WITHOUT A CONTRACT..
If you're reading this because you have an iPhone and you are insecure about it, trust me, I don't miss it at all.
CONS******
ONLY 2:
1. Front facing camera its a VGA so don't expect a crystal clear selfie o skype call.
2. Transferring your music from iTunes its hard to do (if you find a way to do it) (move all the music to a folder and move the folder to the SD).
3. APP variety: Listen, all the app os apple app store or android are not available, but, most of them have an website. Solution is simple: open the internet on your Lumia, type the URL address, when the page loads go to the little three dots on the bottom and pin a tile to the start. That simple. Now in the home screen you can touch it and access your "app" and will load what you want to see!!!!
IF YOU CREATE A PROBLEM WITH THIS PHONE YOU CAN CREATE A SOLUTION.
ANOTHER PRO IS CUSTOMIZATION! you can change background, tiles arrangements almost everything! (set it depending of your mood and taste)
I also got the Cyan battery door cover folio style. so yeah looks pretty good, doesn't warm up and it's not heavy.
*THERES NO WAY I'M GOING BACK TO APPLE. I'M LOOKING FOWARD TO GET THE SURFACE 3"
TRY THE CHANGE AND LEAVE THE GROUP AND MARKETING PRESSURE OF YOU AND TRY SOMETHING REALLY NEW!!!!
