Nokia announces New Lumia 928 With 4.5-inch OLED Display & OIS camera


If you think that you have seen all of Nokia's near future plans for its Lumia range smartphones, then you have underestimated the potential of Nokia because-- there's more waiting for you to shock. I never expected that they would unveil it this early just after the announcement of their Asha 501 which just declared two days ago in India. Though the company's official event was on next Tuesday in London, but that couldn’t stop it from announcing the Lumia 928 on Verizon.

Below is a Front/Side view of Nokia Lumia 928:


Specifications & Features (Not completely revealed yet)

Nokia Lumia 928 has some features of its ancestors like Nokia's latest Lumia 822 and HTC's 8X for the US carrier. Its camera specifications (Carl Zeiss f/2.0 lens, 8.7-megapixel sensor) as we saw in the Lumia 920 and pairing it all with a potent xenon flash light. If we are talking about the display then Nokia Lumia comes with a 4.5-inch OLED (1,280 x 768) display having a protection of Gorilla Glass Layer at upfront. It is loaded with a superfast 1.5GHz dual-core Snapdragon S4 processor, so there might not be any problem of jerks and phone stoppage at all.
The phone has a giant 2,000mAH battery and 32GB of internal storage for all those low-blur photos. As for the phone itself, compared to other Lumia series phones, we're expecting a complete makeover in the ergonomics view of the phone in black and white options. Its squared edgy design referring to match those Windows Phone Live Tiles.

Price & US Launch Date:

Lumia 928 as other phones also have preloaded features of Wireless charging and NFC as are all those extra Nokia software additions, including Here maps and Nokia Music.
It'll launch in the US on May 16th, costs $99.99 with a mail-in rebate, users will also pick up a $25 of credit for Windows Phone apps and games if they decide to sign up.

Nokia unveils New touchscreen Asha 501 with new Os And Other cool changes

Finally nokia is trying something new. The 501 has a radically different design dropping the Qwerty keypad with the Asha brand. The shape is not all that's changed, however, as the 501 is running on a re-engineered OS of Nokia's "Asha software platform".
The Asha 501 has a 3-inch QVGA screen (320 x 240) covered with hardened glass up front, with an unknown amount of internal storage supplemented by a microSD slot behind the back cover -- it comes with a 4GB card in the box but and is expendable upto 32GB. You'll find either one or two micro-SIM slots behind the case depending on the model, both hot-swappable (no need to turn the phone off). It doesn't have 3G radios, however, so your only options for pulling data are over 2G and WiFi. Returning to the outside, there's also a 3.2-megapixel fixed-focus shooter (no flash) on the back, but no front-facing camera. Below the display is one physical key, which is merely a sequential back button for retracing your steps through apps.
The device is made very colorful as Nokia teased, and brings the vibrant palette we're used to seeing from the Finnish phone-maker. It comes dressed in a one-piece chamber of either yellow, red, blue, green, white or black plastic, which envelopes the main body of hardware on all sides like a an iPhone cover.
It's a cute little thing that will completely fit in your hands measuring 99.2 x 58 x 12.1mm (3.9 x 2.3 x 0.5 inch) and weighing just 98g.
All Ashas have used Series 40 as their OS, and although the 501's app home screen may look similar, but we're actually seeing a new Asha platform in 501.
