Nokia Lumia 928 review

You'd think Verizon would've wanted a red Lumia

Smooth performance ; Sharp camera (esp. low light) ; Great Windows Phone 8 UI ; Verizon's 4G LTE is speedy ; Pretty good value for price

Battery life is underwhelming ; Generic, clunky design ; Meager app selection ; No external storage

Nokia Lumia 928 review

Nokia phones are known for their flamboyant colours and unusual shapes, making the Lumia 928 look uninspired by comparison. The phone is available in just two colours, white and black, and your choice affects only the back of the handset's chassis. The...

The Nokia Lumia 928 is excellent for capturing images in low-light environments, but the phone falls victim to Windows Phone's various shortcomings.

Nokia Lumia 928 review: Verizon's most powerful Windows Phone

Nokia's $100 Lumia 928 for Verizon promises top Windows Phone specs, including an 8.7-megapixel camera with a truly powerful flash.

introduces a slimmer body and straight, grippable sides. Low light camera performance is top-notch.

Verizon's typically blazing speeds stumbled on the Lumia 928, and call quality sounded harsher than Nokia's usual standard. Those looking for Nokia's bright statement hues won't find them here.

Windows Phone fans on Verizon should buy the $100 Nokia Lumia 928 for its strong feature set, but watch out for slower-than-usual data speeds.

Nokia Lumia 928 review: Guiding light

Nokia Lumia 928 for Verizon Wireless is the carrier's long awaited, exclusive Windows Phone 8 flagship. The LTE smartphone was part of the rumor mill for quite some time - the first reports of a high-end Nokia smartphone for the Big Red emerged right...

Quad-band GSM/GPRS/EDGE support ; Dual-band CDMA support ; Penta-band 3G with 42 Mbps HSDPA and 5.76 Mbps HSUPA support ; 4.5" PureMotionHD+ AMOLED display with a resolution of 1280 x 768 pixels; Gorilla Glass 2 ; 8 megapixel autofocus camera with...

Windows Phone app catalog falls short of Android and iOS ; No microSD card ; No system-wide file manager ; No lockscreen shortcuts ; Too large a footprint for a device with a 4.5" display ; Non user-replaceable battery

The Nokia Lumia 928 really is a memorable character. Thanks to its top-end spec sheet (by Windows Phone 8 standards), headed by the hugely capable camera with xenon flash, the handset outshines every competitor, which runs Microsoft's mobile OS.

Nokia Lumia 928 Review

The Lumia 928 is one of the best Windows Phones. Though it's hampered by Microsoft's smaller app ecosystem, at $100, it's a great buy if you use Verizon.

The Lumia 928 is only $100 with a two-year contract and comes with a $25 gift card for the Windows Store, for apps, music, or videos. If price is important to you, at $100, it is one of the best buys on Verizon. We also like the Windows Phone 8X by...

Nokia Lumia 928 review

If a mobile operating system can go through a mid-life crisis, Windows Phone 8 might be there: Devices have been on the market since late last year, there's no major revision in sight (yet), and...

Xenon flash offers slightly more low-light flexibility ; Good outdoor viewability for an AMOLED display

Terrible call quality ; Uninspired design ; Limited color selection

The right phone, tweaked in the wrong ways, at the wrong time

Nokia Lumia 928 (Verizon Wireless)

The Lumia 928 is the best Windows phone yet, but it isn't Verizon's best phone overall.

Very good low-light camera performance. Excellent call quality. Bright flash.

Big and bulky. Fewer apps than Android and iOS.

Nokia Lumia 928 Review

Nokia Lumia 928 Review | We take a look at the Nokia Lumia 928, which is a slightly improved version of the Lumia 920, available on Verizon.

Still – if you’re a fan of Windows Phone 8 and want the absolute best device on Verizon, then you shouldn’t hesitate to pick up the Lumia 928 as it improves an already great smartphone experience to the point where we can easily consider it better than...

Nokia Lumia 928 Review

Now that Verizon has its own Nokia hero smartphone working with Windows Phone 8, it's high time the platform takes off, isn't it? At the moment, the Nokia Lumia 928 is one of the nicer Windows Phone 8 devices on the market, and if it weren't for the...

The Verizon Nokia Lumia 928 will cost you $99 USD with a 2-year contract after a $50 mail-in rebate – that’s less than half the cost of some of the higher-end competitors on the carrier today (like the Samsung GALAXY S 4 and the Galaxy Note II), and...
