There’s plenty of interest in an upcoming Windows Phone 8 flagship device rumored to be heading to Verizon, the Nokia Lumia 928. The release is expected in April and not too long ago we posted an article with an image claiming to have been taken with the Lumia 928. Today we have news of some further photos purported to have been taken with the Lumia 928, one of which has some evidence regarding the smartphone in white.

Nokia Lumia 928 leaks so far suggest a curved handset with an aluminum body, slimmer and lighter than the Lumia 920. The camera is rumored to be an 8-megapixel PureView rear camera with Xenon Flash. The newest set of images that have come to light appear to show two of the three photos to have been taken with the front-facing camera but the EXIF data does mention the Lumia 928. The other image lacks EXIF data and has been downsized.

However, that particular photo is more interesting than the others as a closer look in the mirror reflection appears to show the lady holding a white aluminum Lumia 928 rather than the polycarbonate build of its predecessor, the 920. This is the image that we’ve shown above but you can see more images at the link below this story. There’s also a rather unusual flash placement on the handset in this image, which ties in with rumors that the camera will have Xenon Flash.

Other info from the images suggests that the front-facing camera is the same 1.3-megapixel camera toted by the Lumia 920 and EXIF data for that image reveals an f/2.4 aperture. The original source of these images was mutkas/blogspot.com but since these images went up they have now been closed to public access, which does indicate to us that they are probably the real deal. We’ll be following further developments on the Nokia Lumia 928 and of course will pass on more as we hear it.

We’ve been passing on news about a new Windows Phone 8 flagship device on the way, the Nokia Lumia 928, said to be for Verizon. This upcoming smartphone is rumored for a release sometime in April and for those interested in the camera capabilities we have news of a camera image claimed to have been taken with the Lumia 928.

The Lumia 928 is thought to be a step up from the Lumia 920 with an aluminum body and curved rear and also said to be slimmer and lighter than the previous flagship device. The camera set-up on the Lumia 928 looks to be an 8-megapixel PureView rear camera with Xenon Flash and many purchasers of Nokia Lumia smartphones enjoy the camera capabilities of these phones.

The image above was purportedly taken with the Nokia Lumia 928 and although it may be a rather uninspiring (or maybe inspiring for some) indoors scene at a bar with the focus being an alcoholic drink it does seem to show a very decent image result, although it’s hard to tell very much from an isolated photograph. Apparently the shot was taken by Nokia employee, thereby continuing the traditional possibility of a major new product being left in a bar!

As we get close to a release of the Lumia 928 we wouldn’t be surprised to see more leaked camera images and of course we’ll keep you informed about further developments of this smartphone as we hear details. Are you a fan of the Nokia Lumia handsets,What are your thoughts on this image purporting be taken with the Lumia 928.
