Just wondering if anybody went from a 1020 to a 640 XL and how much better the performance is on the 640XL?
Is it worth the upgrade? I know the camera isn't as good as there's only 1GB of RAM, but I don't think the Lumia 1020 really gets much from that extra RAM considering how dated the CPU is. I'd miss the camera that's for sure, but I'd probably feel this way no matter what, since they isn't going to be another 41 megapixel camera on a Microsoft phone for a long time.
I'm considering one of the new flagship Windows 10 devices later this year, but may hold out a little longer rather than jumping right into a new contract just to get the latest phone and buy a flagship sim free in 2016.
For now, getting something either used (1520 maybe) or new and SIM Free (640 XL) would give me a performance boost whilst keeping my ongoing costs low by switching to a SIM only contract.
