Nokia Lumia 928 to launch on Verizon in April with aluminum body and xenon flash
Microsoft is gearing up to
market Nokia's upcoming Verizon flagship heavily. Sources familiar with Nokia's plans have revealed to The Verge that the company plans to launch its Lumia 928 handset in April on Verizon. Known previously as Laser, the Lumia 920 variant will include some significant changes that make it a new standalone device. We're told that Nokia will switch to aluminum for the
928, with a xenon and LED flash combination for the 8-megapixel PureView camera.
Nokia's new flagship will also reduce the weight and thickness compared to the Lumia 920. We're told the
Lumia 928 is 10.2mm at its thinnest point with a slightly curved back. The Lumia 928 has a squared look that's similar to the
Lumia 720 and is said to feel a lot lighter than the Lumia 920.
Other specifications, including CPU and RAM, will be identical to the Lumia 920. The 928 will also launch with a
4.5-inch OLED display and support for simultaneous voice and LTE (SVLTE) — other Verizon devices support SVLTE, but the iPhone 5 notably does not.
