Nokia Lumia 928 Review

Description

If you have been waiting for PureView Phase 2 in a lighter package, Lumia 928 is for you, as long as you are a Verizon subscriber. The optically stabilized imaging capabilities of the fairly chubby Lumia 920 have now been shoehorned into a sexier device, which mimics all the other innovative features of the 920 - the PureMotion HD + display, as well as the high-performance mics that capture up to 140dB sound without distortion.

Pros

  • Features a Xenon flash - better than a standard LED
  • Supports wireless charging

Cons

  • Thick body (0.40 inches)
I want it 33 users
I have it 21 users
I had it 24 users

This is the best phone I have ever owned.
Phone owned for less than a year

When I bought this phone last year I thought it was a very well built phone. I loved how great it runs and how easy it is to navigate the phone. Now I came from having nothing but galaxy phones. So I was spoiled with the apps. I wanted to make a change due to how I was being treated with straight talk. I went with verizon after being away from them. Well I am not dissappointed with this phone at all. The screen is so clear and the camera is just mind blowing clear. Now the only down fall is the apps. That's not so much the phones fault but more due to microsoft and not being as developed and deep like google and android are. I have to add since I got the Denim update this phone is freaking awesome. Move over Siri, Cortana is taking over! Cortana can remind you about appointments and if your close to say the grocery store she will remind you to pick up milk. Like I said the only downfall is the apps. There are some good ones but not very many have come over to windows and I feel like if they would let them have the chance to it would make these phones unstoppable.

Nokia Lumia 928 - Fantastic Windows Phone
Phone owned for more than a year

I've owned and used various iPhones and Android devices. The Nokia Lumia 928 is without question the best one I've ever owned. From usability, size, speed and just fun. You heard right, the phone is just fun to be on. The device is made so much better with Windows Phone 8.1 features. Everything from the information hub to cortana and most importantly (to me) the Word Flow keyboard (Microsofts much improved version of Androids beloved Swype), all the features I didn't realize I missed from other phones.

Groups have been an amazing way for me to keep in touch with friends and family. Grouping family into a single Family Room has been extremely convenient. I find myself using groups much more than I ever thought I would. The wife adds items to the group calendar so I know when the kids have games, doctors appointments, and I add items to our grocery list we have in our group notes as I find we need stuff. It's an extremely convenient feature that I don't think many know about or realize how great it really can be.

With Windows Phone 8.1 OS, the Nokia Lumia 928 makes my list of all-time phones.
