Better hardware in China?

Microsoft Lumia 640 XL seems to have 2 GB of RAM and a faster CPU in China

Different models for different territories.

Like the China model specs. That model is darn close to being a flagship class phone except for the 720 P screen which I could live with.

Im not really sure why they continued to call it a 6XX series device. Its more like an 8XX series, now.

If they don't beef up the battery, I might actually prefer the global version for better battery life since I don't play intensive mobile games. If they do beef up the battery, then this would be the one to get. It would depend on that for me. Well, that and frequency support given the Chinese variant likely only supports frequencies relevant to that market, so it will likely miss key LTE frequencies elsewhere. Might support band 7, though, which is in use in Asia, Europe, and Canada. No U.S., though, thanks to Sprint's penchant for exotic LTE bands.

China is a big market so MS is enticing buyers by providing higher specs. It is a variant I guess.
