Nokia’s latest Windows Phone 8 handset is coming to Verizon Wireless May 16th. You’ll be able to pick up a Nokia Lumia 928 for $100 after rebate when you sign up for a 2-year contract. There’s also a limited time promotion that lets new customers get $25 to spend in the Windows Phone Store.
The phone has a 4.5 inch display, an 8.7MP camera, and support for wireless charging, among other things.
Verizon and Nokia aren’t providing a lot of details about what separates the new Lumia 928 from its predecessor, the Lumia 920. But Microsoft says it the camera has a faster flash, an improved speaker, and a screen that’s easier to see outdoors.
The phone polycarbonate case is also reportedly a little thinner and lighter than its predecessor.
The Nokia Lumia also supports wireless charging.
Other specs are pretty similar to those for the Nokia Lumi 920, including a 1.5 GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon MSM8960 dual core processor, 1GB Of RAM, 32GB of storage, and a 2000mAh battery. Both phones also feature 4.5 inch, 1280 x 768 pixel displays.
I hope 2-year contracts become a thing of the past now that T-Mobile has charted new territory in the biz.
