Ben posted the official announcement of the Nokia Lumia 928 coming to Verizon, but as a current Lumia 920 owner and also a Verizon customer I wanted to look into it a bit more and compare the two to see if the 928 is something I should pick up next week.
Looking at what the folks at Nokia Conversations wrote about the Lumia 928, we can see that the Lumia 920 and 928 share the following:
While most things are the same, there are a couple of differences that will appeal to media creation folks. These include:
The price is just $99.99 with a two-year contract and $50 mail-in rebate. I have a grandfathered unlimited data plan on Verizon and currently use an iPhone 5. I haven’t yet found out what the full price for the 928 is and am not sure getting a xenon flash and more mics will be worth the $550+ price. I do hope to try out the Lumia 928 at CTIA in a couple weeks though.
UPDATE: I confirmed with Verizon that the full price of the Lumia 928 is just $499.99. That is a great deal for a full featured smartphone with these specs and after testing it out it may just be my next Verizon smartphone. To help lessen the up-front cost, ZDNet reader Scott, reminded me about the new Verizon device payment program.
There is a Nokia event in London next week and there is speculation that this may be a global version of the 928, a Lumia with metal body, or a Lumia with a camera even more powerful along the lines of the Nokia PureView 808. We’ll have to wait and see.
