Nokia made smartphone shoppers happy with the high-performance camera located on the Lumia 920, but that phone is a little thicker, bulkier and larger than the typical smartphone. Nokia made amends by creating the Lumia 928, which is basically a 920 with improved features, the latest Windows Phone 8 operating system, and a Xenon flash which delivers more light than the typical LED flash found on most smartphones. The handset launched exclusively on Verizon on May 16 of this year in the United States, and retails starting at under $30 on contract.
The 8.7 megapixel camera built into the back of the Lumia 928 for Verizon delivers the PureView technology the 920 made so popular. This includes an extra-wide angle, high-quality Carl Zeiss Tessar lens which teams up with optical image stabilization (OIS) to provide pure and true video and image capture, negating the effect that your shaky hands or moving the camera has upon the result. The 928 also benefits from special software “lenses” which add extreme customization to your video and snapshots.
The different lenses are actually software applications with names like Cinemagraph, Smart Shoot, Panorama, and Bing Vision. They offer several many different high-end features, such as the ability to take a picture of the subject and receive information about it, including text translation. You can also capture up to five quick shots for each picture, enabling you to choose the best one. The extra-wide lens allows for extreme panorama capture, and you can also add movement to your snapshots by combining photo and cinema-like animation.
The Nokia Lumia 928 employees a floating lens, which combines with PureView technology to minimize movement in your snapshots and your videos. The combination of the lens and the PureView ability also delivers excellent low-light functionality, thanks to the powerful Xenon flash and a back illuminated sensor (BSI). The rear snapper records video in 1,920 x 1,080 pixels (1,080P HD resolution) and 30 frames per second, and also offers autofocus, exposure compensation, geo-tagging and other customization features.
A front facing chat cam of 1.2 megapixels is also on board, and the Nokia Lumia 928 running on Verizon’s 4G LTE network in the United States delivers a large 4.50 inch HD+ display. Resolution runs high at 768 by 1,280 pixels, delivering more than 16 million colors at the rate of 332 pixels per inch. The phone is capable of up to 16.2 hours of talk time and a generous 25.2 days of standby power from a single charge, and a Snapdragon S4 plus dual core 1.5 GHz CPU powers the handset. A full 32 GB of onboard storage space is present, as is 1.0 GB of RAM memory.
