Photo leaks of the Nokia Lumia 928, heading to Verizon

The Nokia Lumia 928

Friday evening, evleaks tweeted a picture of what allegedly is the Nokia Lumia 928, previously known as the Nokia Laser. This device is supposed to be the Verizon version of the flagship Nokia Lumia 920 but replaces the instantly identifiable polycarbonate body of the latter handset, with a sleeker aluminum body.

Some other changes to the Verizon model include an improved Xenon flash, which can be seen in the photo sitting next to the LED flash. The Nokia Lumia 920 has received plenty of compliments for its camera and the improvement to the flash should improve on the Nokia Lumia 928's ability to take pictures in low-light conditions.

A recent leaked screenshot of Verizon's inventory data showed that the Nokia Lumia 928 is coming in four different colors including Blue, Red, White and Cyan. While the phone wasn't left in a bar by a drunk tester, it was taken to Sea World by a tester who took family pictures with the Nokia Lumia 928 in the frame. The phone is expected to launch sometime this month which could put it in competition with the Samsung Galaxy S4. Luckily for the Nokia Lumia 928, Verizon isn't offering the HTC One or else that device would also get in the way of the Nokia Lumia 928.

I know nokia takes good lowlight pics but I won't prefer it just for optical stabilization and low light.. As a smartphone it really has low feature..

Dude please! that test was done by one of the biggest Nokia haters writing on this site! Every other site praises Nokia's camera but only here it gets mediocre shots! Amazing how that guy can rig the 920 so that it gets such ugly shots and make if it was on normal settings!

So if it's rated good then the website is good otherwise the website is biased? 920's camera cannot compete in daylight situations.. It couldn't win in blind camera test either.. Group, if your preferred device doesn't win then it doesn't mean that the comparison is biased.

Sorry were did you get that from because that is wrong. You cannot say a single phone which has only been out 3 months is beating a whole fleet of phones. Get your facts right

As opposed to all other phones who are err spaced as circles and triangles....dude all other phones are the same shape and 136g isn't heavy. But hey I suppose you know more than me about a device which hasn't even come out yet...I'm looking at the specs given stop the blind hatred.

No if it was Nokias 8800 Arte series weighing even at 200Grms I would love that, a prestige feel and touch, not frickn plastic™ My beloved one and only 8800 Arte pride and joy® Nokia are making fail products, look at the Lumia fail! N95 N95 8GB E71 E72 E55 N86 N73 N70 N97 N96 All these were a major big hits, and I have bought all of those phones then Since eflop took over Nokia are dustbin know

n8-took other companys 3 years to catch up to its camera 808-king of camera phones 920- bought nokia back to the general audience (808 was a niche device) and runs head to head with all current flagships for day to day use the only difference is your getting more in the camera department then any other company with the smooth os. octacore etc all bragging rights that arent needed thanks to a more optimised os you talk crap basically, plus the n96 wasnt a big hit or the the n97. hush now baby troll

Lol I was literally going to go pick up the Blackberry Z10 tomorrow because I was tired of waiting for a flagship Lumia on Verizon, and all other rumors today had been pointing to a late June-early July release. Sigh, I guess I'll give it one or two more weeks to see if any new information comes up. I wish somebody would just make an official announcement already so I don't have to torture myself.
