New Lumia 928 : pureview included

Catch the moment you want

The Nokia Lumia 928 and 925 aren’t upgrades to the Lumia 920. Daniel put it best in his From the Editor’s Desk this morning when he called it a sideways upgrade. Same goes for the camera found in those devices, they’re basically the same one you’ll find in the Lumia 920, but with a little more software magic.

How do you make a great smartphone camera even better? The more light that gets in, the clearer and brighter photos come out. 8.7 PureView camera with Carl Zeiss® optics and Optical Image Stabilization delivers awesome results in all kinds of lighting. Powerful Xenon flash supplies even more light when you need it.

The sharper, the better

With the advanced snapdragon S4 processor of 1.5 GHz, this new child of Lumia family is striking hard to the new age.Under the hood, the 928's specs mostly match up to its AT&T and T-Mobile cousins. The 4G LTE devices feature the same Windows Phone 8 operating system, 4.5-inch 720p HD screen saturated color with a 768x1,280-pixel resolution (and a 334ppi pixel density), and 8.7-megapixel camera with image stabilization and PureView image processing. One notable difference is the 928's xenon flash in addition to the LED, which Nokia claims will boost image performance.

Hyper-real sound

Digital high-performance microphone records distortion-free sound, even at loud stadiums and concerts. Play it back just like you first heard it. High-performance loudspeaker and powerful digital amplifier create unmatched clarity and loudness.

 

OS and apps

Naturally, the Lumia 928 carries on the Windows Phone 8 tradition and corrals in Nokia's hoard of specialized apps besides.In addition to Nokia Music and Nokia Drive, there's the newly rebranded Here City Lens augmented reality app and Maps app. Several photo "lenses" are added by default, including panorama, Smart Shoot, creative studio, and Cinemagraph, which combines still photos and video in a frame.
