While the body of the handset is constructed of plastic, the overall feel of the product is of a solid build helped no doubt by the Corning Gorilla Glass 3 screen. The Lumia 640 has dimensions of 141 x 72 x 9mm (H x W x D) and weighs 145g. It fits comfort...

Though it’s definitely not metal, the polycarbonate on the Lumia 640 doesn’t look and feel quite plastic either, having a good solid weight.

Although by the time we were done getting our hands on the phone, it was covered with more than a few fingerprint smudges...
