Customers can purchase the smartphone online or in Verizon stores for $99.99 with a two-year contract and after a mail-in rebate. For a limited time, <a href=\"http:\/\/conversations.nokia.com\/2013\/05\/10\/introducing-nokia-lumia-928-bringing-pureview-to-verizon\/\">buyers will also receive a $25 credit for Windows Phone applications<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Although neither company released many specification details of phone, the Lumia 928 is very likely an improved Lumia 920. That phone launched last year as an AT&#38;T exclusive and is considered to be a flagship, high-end model. Here&#8217;s a first look at the new Lumia:<\/p>\n<p> <span class='embed-youtube' style='text-align:center; display: block;'><iframe class='youtube-player' type='text\/html' width='604' height='370' src='http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/SRuXQk8g250?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;%23038;fs=1&#038;%23038;showsearch=0&#038;%23038;showinfo=1&#038;%23038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;%23038;wmode=transparent' frameborder='0'><\/iframe><\/span> <\/p>\n<p>Like that phone, the Lumia 928 offers a 4.5-inch OLED screen with Gorilla Glass for protection. It also features an 8.7 megapixel PureView camera with Carl Zeiss optics, Xenon flash and optical image stabilization; <a href=\"http:\/\/gigaom.com\/2013\/05\/08\/hold-on-tight-nokia-lumia-928-camera-shines-in-roller-coaster-video-demo\/\">something Nokia showed off earlier this week on video<\/a>. The new Lumia also supports wireless charging.<\/p>\n<p>I think the pricing on this device is quite aggressive when compared to flagship phones running on other platforms. Then again, it probably needs to be. While having a high-end Lumia on one of the largest U.S. carriers can only help Nokia &#8212; and Windows Phone 8 sales, for that matter &#8212; the price point can help the Lumia 928 stand out from the flagship crowd.<\/p>\n<p> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" border=\"0\"
