It’s been called one of the best phones of the year, so obviously we had to know what all the fuss was about. Josh takes an Android user’s perspective on the Windows Phone 8-powered Nokia Lumia 928.

The 928 was the predecessor of the 735/730. As it always happens, the 928 had a better build quality, capacitive buttons (few mention this, but these are much easier to use than the 'on screen' buttons of the 735) and a designated camera button plus image optical stabilization. Still the 735/730 is/was a great phone but you could see they've cut corners for the model update. By the way, I've dropped the 730 a few times without issues, until the day when it landed flat on the screen on my wood floor from 4ft high, the screen shattered in a gazillion cracks – still working thought.
as usual with window devices the reviewers do a fair job BUT leave out key features such as THIS PHONE HAS BUILT IN WIRELESS CHARGING!
Mines screen stopped working it won't turn on just the three buttons at the bottom. nothing lights up
Watching it on my Lumia 950 Xl.
If it wasn't running on Windows I would have definitely buy it
android? yet no review on Fujitsu F01F and F02G..
If it was literally anything other than Windows I'd consider buying one
when you will come back we will never forget you nokia
I love my Lumia 928. Since the Denim update I think its the best phone out there. I would love to see an update on this phone with the Denim update. I was an android user but got bored with the looks of the phones and the feel of them. They felt like a toy. This feels like a phone should feel like. I feel like it feels like a mature phone instead of a cheap toy. I will add that I love the double tap feature. Not many phones have that.
great review 🙂
This guy should review windows 8.1.1
I am planning to buy a smart phone which is better nokia lumia 928 or moto g
Why hasn't the 928 become available to Europe besides the USA.. I don't particularly like the 925 with the added 6th lens makes it prone to breaking with the type of hump
Nujabes, Joshua has got some proper music taste!
I have a lumia 1320 i want to sell it for a htc 8x but i hate the thing of exclusive nokia apps
I wish app makers supported the windows phone like hey do Android and Apple. A three horse race is always more interesting.
This isnt an android phone
why don't you create new name window authority.
I really respect you and this review did not sense any bias 🙂 hard to come by I appreciate the honesty
He really didn't maximize the potential of the 928. My phone looks amazing because of all the apps I have pinned to the start. I don't think everyone gives the phone the credit it deserves
I believe Windows Phones, Androids, and iPhones are good phones. It's just that Android and Windows Phone are the best. I just wish Windows Phones had an IR transmitter, LED indication light, and Haptic Feedback settings. Still, my Windows Phone has better features than the Android, and vice-versa.
I need help! On the second page (app page) I get (#abcde..etc.) over my apps. How do I remove this!? I tried searching through my settings millions of times and still no luck! Please! Someone help!
Nujabes R.I.P.
I liked this. I'd like to see more reviews of non Android products by the site.
Interesting you don't find it bright enough in sunlight, I find the 925 (same display) one of the best phones I've had to view in even direct sunlight, I can see everything. The 1520 should be even better, they say.
I want to unlock the lumia 920 I call AT&T but they didn't want to unlock it I have to be a costumer I bought it on ebay so they want me to activate it with them anyone knows if is another way to unlock it?
