Matt Rothschild, vice president of Nokia North America talked up the device’s photo and video capabilities.
“The Nokia Lumia 928 excels at capturing high-quality video, audio and blur-free photos of life’s most share-worthy moments,” he said. “It offers rich distortion-free audio capture, even in noisy conditions. Built with three high-audio-amplitude-capture microphones and one of the most advanced loudspeakers available for smartphones, people can record and play back the sound just like they first heard it, all the way up to 140db – the sound equivalent of an airplane taking off.
Rothschild said those features really shine when using Vyclone, a new Windows Phone app that lets people co-create, sync and edit multiple views of a shared moment.
The Nokia Lumia 928 smartphone will be exclusive to Verizon Wireless when it launches in America on Thursday 16 May, 2013.
“Verizon Wireless customers, we heard you and the wait is over – we’re excited to offer a Nokia flagship smartphone, specially designed and optimised for the nation’s largest 4G LTE network,” Rothschild added.
The Nokia Lumia 928 will be available in white or black at Verizon Wireless stores and online for $99 with a new two-year customer agreement (after a $50 mail-in rebate).
Those purchasing a Nokia Lumia 928 can also claim a $25 credit for Windows Phone apps and games for a limited time.
