MobileTechReview and SlashGear have been putting the Verizon exclusive Nokia Lumia 828 through its paces in their respective reviews. The PureView branded 8.7 megapixel camera gets a lot of praise, especially for its low light performance. Other areas highlighted in the review includes the 4.5 inch AMOLED display, the broad range of Nokia exclusive software, and the quality of voice calls. Both reviews end by concluding the Lumia 928 is a worthy competitor to other high end smartphones and is the best Windows Phone device currently available on Verizon.

The Nokia Lumia 928 is easily Verizon’s finest Windows Phone 8 device, and with its advanced camera abilities, it may well be the nicest Windows Phone 8 device in the USA as well. Until another Windows Phone 8 device comes along with a metal body, on the other hand, the Nokia Lumia 925 will continue to roll with that title worldwide.
