MANILA, Philippies - Microsoft officially announced today, April 29 the availability in the country of the latest addition to the Lumia smartphone portfolio, the Lumia 640 XL.
The Lumia 640 XL is designed to offer personal computing and increased productivity through seamlessly integrated Microsoft Office experiences, OneDrive1 storage and fast connectivity. The Lumia 640 XL will upgrade to, and benefit from, the features of Windows 102 as it becomes available later this year.
“People are looking for a device which brings them more flexibility to switch easily between work and play, without breaking the bank” said Gary Chan, Microsoft Devices’ Head of Marketing in Pan Asia. The Lumia 640 XL keeps people prepared for anything, with the full range of Microsoft experiences – including Office and OneDrive – which Lumia users have come to expect straight out of the box, a superb 5.7” HD screen and long lasting battery.”
Chan adds, “As the age old demand for ‘more for less’ extends to the smartphone market, the Lumia 640 XL presents a strong option for those customers who want the increased productivity a smart device offers without sacrificing affordability.”
The Lumia 640 XL priced for only PhP11,990 (SRP) is expected to be available in the Philippines from May 1, 2015, in matte cyan, orange and black, as well as glossy white.
Microsoft also announced another device, the Lumia 540 Dual Sim which targets young, ambitious people looking for their first serious smartphone.
The Lumia 540 Dual SIM features the latest Windows Phone 8.1 innovations and boasts a 5-inch HD display and crafted design details. It helps people stay productive on-the-go with Microsoft services like Skype and Office available out-of-the-box, and enables better mobile experiences, such as taking wide-angle selfies that fit in more of the action, thanks to the front-facing 5 megapixel camera.
The new Lumia 540 Dual SIM is capable of upgrading to Windows 10 and will be available by June this year in cyan, orange, white and black for only PhP7,990 (SRP).
