White Nokia Lumia 928 Verizon US phone now seen online

Yesterday we reported that a leaked image of the US Verizon Nokia Lumia 928 had surfaced online and was unleashed by serial Twitter leakers @evleaks, and today the same Twitter feed has leaked another of image of the new Windows Phone 8 sporting device, this time in white.

The white version of the Nokia Lumia 928 is looking to be a colour variation for the Verizon exclusive model, which is a slightly updated version of Nokia’s flagship Windows Phone 8 smartphone that will go on sale in the US later this year.

The difference in specs and naming is due to the Lumia 920 being tied to an exclusive deal with other US Carrier AT&T, so Nokia and Verizon have improvised and made a new phone to suit another of the US’ biggest mobile networks!

***ORIGINAL ARTICLE***

Nokia is no longer the underdog in the smartphone race (thanks to BlackBerry) which means the company’s recent successes have led to new handsets being seen quicker, and today it would seem that a potential new Nokia flagship smartphone, the Lumia 928,has been leaked online.

An image of the Windows Phone 8-running Nokia Lumia 928 has been posted by serial leakers @evleaks, via their pretty reliable Twitter account, showing off the slightly updated version of Nokia’s current flagship smartphone.

In the image we can see the now familiar Lumia styling – square shapes, bold colours twinned with black – with branding for the US network Verizon Wireless, and it would seem that the Lumia 928 will be an exclusive US and carrier specific smartphone.

The Lumia 920 is currently only available in the US via rival network AT&T so a variant of the Windows Phone 8 flagship will be the only way for other networks to stock the top of the range Lumia smartphone.

There is no information on what the extra 8 in the 928 model number will entail, but rumours suggest that the Lumia 928 will have a xenon flash added to its 8-megapixel PureView camera, and possibly some changes to some of the internal specs, but it’s looking like a minor change just so another US carrier can ship the handset.

The Lumia 928 won’t make its way over to the UK and Europe but with the range of Lumia handsets selling well over here we think Nokia should focus its attention on the next range of Lumias… 950 anyone?
