Phone owned for less than a month

I really liked my brother’s 640, hence I bought the Lumia 540. I find the phone to be a very decent one performance wise. Also, the front cam is really good. Battery backup is better in comparison to other phones as it easily lasts one day. After using it for a week, I think I have made the right decision.
