Nokia has just announced its new PureView device, the Lumia 928 for Verizon. The highlight of the phone is its pairing of a Xenon flash with the optical image stabilization assembly from the 920. The camera is a 8.7MP unit which will let you shoot images in both 4:3 and 16:9 mode without cropping. The camera module has a f/2.0 aperture.
Internally the phone has almost the same components as the Lumia 920 powering the device with a 1.5GHz dual core Qualcomm MSM8960 paired with 1GB of RAM. The display is a 4.5″ 720p HD OLED screen with Nokia’s PureMotion HD+ technology that accelerates the pixels which helps reduce ghosting. The phone is also equipped with High Amplitude Audio Capture (HAAC) microphones to facilitate superior quality audio recording at up to 140 decibels. It would run on Verizon’s LTE network.
In line with previous devices, the Lumia 928 has wireless charging built in to charge up the 2000 mAh battery pack. Measuring 5.24 x 2.71 x 0.44 inches in terms of dimensions, the Finnish manufacturer’s new phone weighs in at 163 grams. The Nokia Lumia 928 will be available on Verizon starting 16th May and has been priced at $99 on a two year contract after a $50 mail in rebate.
