Nokia Lumia 928

The Lumia 928, aka the Nokia Catwalk, will have almost identical specs to the AT&T-exclusive Lumia 920, featuring a 1.5 GHz, dual-core processor, a 4.5-inch 1280 x 768 display, and 1 GB of RAM. Other specs include 16 GB of storage, an 8.7-megapixel camera with OIS, and a non-removable 2000 mAh battery. The only differences are that Lumia 928 will be marginally thinner than its predecessor, measuring 8.4 mm thick (down from 10.7 mm), and that it is expected to be made available on other networks.


Nokia Lumia 920 is flat-out humongous, then the Lumia 928 is just really big. Whereas the 920 weighs in at a whopping 6.53 ounces, the 928 is somewhat more reasonable at 5.71 ounces. That's still a lot heavier than the 4.6-ounce Samsung Galaxy S 4—which is not only lighter, but has a much bigger screen than the Lumia 928. And it's nearly two full ounces heavier than Apple's 4-ounce iPhone 5, though that phone has a smaller screen. But there's no way around it—the Lumia 928 is a big phone. At 5.24 by 2.71 by 0.44 inches (HWD), you can still hold and operate it with just one hand, but there's a lot of excess bezel around the display at every angle.
Connectivity wise, you do not have to think twice, it is Nokia on the talks after all, it does support GPRS, EDGE, Wi-Fi 802.11 a/b/g/n, dual brand, DLNA, Wi-Fi hotspot, Bluetooth version 3.0 and USB connectivity as well. The Nokia Lumia 928 also supports 3G and 4G connectivity as well. There isn’t a necessity to ponder on this area as Nokia has never seen issues with the connectivity and it is always managed to offer the best of the features in this scenario.




The Lumia 928 supports a ton of frequency bands, so you can connect to global HSPA+ and LTE networks if Verizon has roaming agreements with those carriers. The phone also has 802.11 a/b/g/n Wi-Fi on the 2.4GHz and faster 5GHz bands, along with Bluetooth 3.0, GPS, and NFC. Reception was decent and 4G LTE data speeds in Manhattan were on par with what we've been seeing lately.

Price
