Nokia Lumia 929 is coming to Verizon: release date is early November and price is affordable

The Nokia Lumia 929 is coming to Verizon Wireless in early November, just in time for the Holiday shopping season, and it will be an affordable large-screen Windows Phone handset. The Lumia 929 has already leaked out, but the latest details hint that it won’t quite have the humongous 6-inch display of the rumored AT&T-bound Lumia 1520. Instead, the Verizon Lumia 929 will come with a 5-inch 1080p display and cost only $500 off-contract. This should translate into a $99 or lower price when you purchase the phone on a 2-year contract.

Good news is that the Lumia 929 will feature a 20-megapixel PureView camera, just like the alleged camera of the rumored Lumia 1520. Both cameras aim to deliver performance above what even high-end smartphones can shoot. They will likely use Nokia’s oversampling technology that aims to clear noise and deliver sharper than usual images. The Lumia 929 will also come with a dual LED flash for better lighting of dark scenes.

The Lumia 929 release date is rumored to be set for early November, likely around November 8th, and if that comes true, Nokia will finally have two high-profile devices launching on the two biggest US carriers in time for the Holidays. The Lumia 1520 is expected to arrive on AT&T on November 8th as well.

We should finally get to see these two new Lumias and four new Nokia devices around the end of October in Abu Dhabi where Nokia will hold a huge event. Stay tuned!
