Featuring advanced photo technology that can capture, edit,
and share epic moments better than ever before, the 4G LTE-enabled Nokia Lumia
928 from Verizon Wireless enables you to snap bright, blur-free photos and
videos -- even in low light conditions such as indoors or at night. Powered by
the Windows Phone 8 operating system, the stunning Lumia 928 feels sleek, solid
and fits perfectly in your hand. And the 4.5-inch PureMotion HD+ OLED display
delivers crystal clear bright content with great outdoor visibility and a fast,
responsive touchscreen.

Better Imaging
Great looking images come easily when snapping them with the
Lumia 928's rear 8.7-megapixel PureView camera, which features a high-quality,
wide angle Carl Zeiss lens and optical image stabilization (OIS). Using a
floating lens, the Lumia 928 OIS feature compensates for and reduces movement
in both videos and photos while also ensuring your photos look incredibly clear
even in low-light situations. A powerful Xenon flash supplies even more light
when you need it.
The camera comes with several features to make capturing
photos a breeze. Smart Shoot snaps five frames for each picture, enabling you
to pick the best faces from each frame. You'll then be able to create a great
picture or remove any people or objects to get the best picture. Panorama
automatically stitches your pictures together and enables you to share directly
to Facebook or Twitter. Cinemagraph ads movement to your still images by
blending photo and movie-like animation to bring your pictures to life.
The rear camera records stunning videos at up to Full HD
1080p resolution, and OIS reduces shakiness to make your videos much more
pleasant to watch. The Lumia 928 also offers a front-facing camera for
on-the-go video calls that can record up to HD 720p resolution.
Better Sound
In addition to amazing imaging and video capabilities, the
Lumia 928 offers rich distortion-free audio capture, even in noisy conditions.
Built with three high-audio-amplitude-capture (HAAC) microphones, the Lumia 928
enables you to capture everything from the thumping bass of your favorite band
to the delighted laugh of a playing child with the best clarity possible.
The Lumia 928 also features one of the most advanced
loudspeakers available for smartphones, delivering incredibly loud and clear
sound -- all the way up to 140 db (the sound equivalent of an airplane taking
off). A high-performance loudspeaker and powerful digital amplifier is combined
with real-time measurement and control, resulting in unmatched clarity and
loudness. Taken together, these features shine when using Vyclone, a new app
for Windows Phone (available from the Windows Phone Store) that enables you to
co-create, sync, and edit multiple views of a shared moment.
If you prefer to listen to music via headphones, the Lumia
928 also features Dolby Headphone audio enhancements to create a rich sound
stage for your music and videos. You can also customize the sound with a
seven-band graphic equalizer.

(Mbps) on the downlink and 2-5 Mbps on the uplink in real-world, loaded network
environments.

well as quickly download HD-quality movies right to your phone in minutes.
Additionally, you'll be able to download a new song file in about 4 seconds or
upload a photo to your favorite social networking site in about 6 seconds.
The Verizon Wireless 4G LTE mobile broadband network will
also redefine the mobile office for business users. Business applications that
used to require wired networks will be untethered forever, allowing you
maximized productivity and efficiency while you're out of the confines of your
office. Enhanced security lets you tap into most VPN networks with less
waiting, and faster responsiveness enables you to upload 10 MB presentations
back to your team in less than 25 seconds.
In areas serviced only by 3G, you can expect download speeds
of 600 Kbps to 1.4 Mbps and upload speeds of 500 to 800 Kbps in Mobile
Broadband coverage area.

Great Phone for the Price
By Geebox
A User Review on the Nokia Lumia 928.
Got my Nokia 928 a few days ago. First, overall the phone is
GREAT and I would recommend it to anyone. IMO it is the Best
Windows Phone to date. I will also say that in comparison to the other
Operating System's; Android and iOS, Windows Phone 8 OS is better and faster in
my opinion. Of course that is Subjective. Everyone has his or her preference as
to the features, apps, size, style, color and specs of a phone that work for
them and that's just fine. My sister likes the iphone 5 and it works just fine
for here. My younger
brother likes Android ICS and it works fine for him. The
point is, I nor anyone
else has to convince each person that they should buy a
particular Phone. Having said that this is just a review for anyone not sure of
Windows Phone 8.
The Pros and the Cons.
Pros:
1. The Operating System: The Windows Phone 8 OS is
smooth fast and responsive. It runs faster on a lower
processor than a newer Android's faster quad processor. The point is, it
doesn't have to have 4 or more
processors to run smoother and faster. Though I have not had
it longer the 8
days as of this review I nor the persons I know who have a
WP8, have not
experienced the lags, bugs and many reboots I have had with
Android Phones and Tablets. I didn't like the Windows Tiles when I first heard
or seen them in pictures, but expect for the plain colors (you eventually get
use to them) they work great. The Live Tiles update you on all the info you
need on one screen without having to click on a bunch of different apps Mail,
Facebook, Weather, Agenda, Calender, Messaging are all updated right on the
front screen. You can customize the look, size, color of your Tiles and change
them with ease.
2. The Camera: This has to be one of the best cameras on a
Phone. You will not be disappoint on the pictures it takes in daylight or low
light. Nokia is hyping up this Camera and I have to agree. The Camera alone is
a good reason to get this phone.
3. Call Quality is good: Both calling and receiving. The
speaker on it is loud and clear.
4. The Display is great with the AMOLED Display. It makes
the screen sharp and clear and great even it sunlight. The Size at 4.5 inches
is also a nice size, not too big and not too small.
5. Xenon Flash: Brighter and better Flash as found on some
standalone cameras.
6. HD 1080p recording with great noise canceling mics. Also
has front Facing 1.2MP camera.
7. 32 GB internal storage
8. 4G Network: I haven't had the chance to fully test it
yet, but my pages load super-fast and my downloads are fast as well.
9. Battery: Battery usage for a smartphone is Good. It also
has wireless charging.
10. APPS: There is a lot of criticism with this OS
and lack of apps. This area is where people have to put
things in the right
prospective. Yes iOS and Android has more Apps than WP8. I
have to laugh a
little when this argument is brought up. First who downloads
that many apps?
Second putting thing in the right prospective, iOS and
Android is 5years old. Developers have had plenty of time to make apps. Windows
Phone is going on 3years old with Window Phone 8 being only 6 months old with
over 145,000 to date. Most of the top apps or equivalent is available right now
on the WP store, with more being added as the months go buy. The point is, it
took both Android and Apple years to get to the app count they have now.
Besides most of the apps on those system or useless apps that don't say on a
phone for long yet alone even make it to ones phone. Again my point is most of
the main or equivalent apps that people use are either on the store or in
development. If Windows Phone 8 sells great(and I think it will) more apps will
come faster. Anyway Nokia has a set of apps that make this phone stand out
itself, Nokia Music, Nokia City Lens: Nokia Maps, Nokia Drive. There are plenty
of other apps that make this a great pick.
Cons:
1. No External Storage. I think Nokia made a mistake here.
Even though it has an internal 32 gig storage( 23G usable) they should have
made room for external storage. I like having my music, videos and some data on
a storage card so I am not tied to a computer or downloading data on a cell or
wifi. I almost didn't get the phone because if this.
2. No removable battery. I am a heavy user, both personal
and work. I like having a couple of charged batteries to throw in when I just
can't charge.
3. Lack of Apps? I put this here because in comparison to
the other two OS's, WP8 does have less apps, however I think I make a good
point above as to why this is not a good reason to not buy this Phone.
4. No FM Radio: other Nokia Phones have the radio turned on.
Though I heard that it can be turned on in a firmware update.
5. No Etiquette: My own personal preference; a feature that
mutes the phone when you face it down.
6. Wish it had a stylus for notes: My own personal
preference
7. No Swype Keyboard: My own personal preference
8. Unless I am wrong, No Video output to TV.
Ok so for what it is worth, this is just an opinion for a
user and not a article writer,
and Yes I have had both Android and Iphone.

This should be your next smartphone
By Rentme
This really should be your next Smartphone!
I have lived with Android and the defragmentation of the
software releases with different versions on different phones. I have
experienced the high cost of the Apple products and have seen so many friends
that encased their iphone with a big ugly case. I have also experienced the
"great at first...than behind the times" Blackberry Smartphones. Now
I am experiencing the Windows 8 Phone from Nokia and I can tell you I am not
going back to any of the other options. The excellent hardware quality of this
phone and the additional Nokia Apps make this a super easy to use and that
integrates with my desktop. Other reasons to own this phone:
- The offline GPS is fantastic as I never have to worry
about having a data connection to get a route (I found out that the Nokia
mapping data base powers the majority of the car systems in the world and I can
see why)
- Nokia music is not something I would buy, but similar to
mapping where you can download to your phone and then use without a data
connection, this is fantastic to have a HIGH QUALITY sound mix on your phone
that doesn't require a data connection to listen to.
- Yup.....the camera can't be beat, especially with the
Zenon flash and the Nokia Apps for the camera.
- Battery charging is another goody that you have love.
First, it has a feature that charges the battery up to 40% faster. Although
most other new smartphones have this feature now, you really do notice it.
Second, you can find the Nokia wireless charging plates for $25 and once you
use wireless charging you won't want to fiddle with the plug in cable again. (I
bought 2 plates and it is worth it)
There are many other items I could list, but most reviewers
have already listed them when reviewing Windows Phone 8. This really is a great
Smartphone!!!
