Verizon’s Lumia 928 to come in colorful aluminum shell

A leaked screenshot of Verizon Wireless’ inventory system suggests that the carrier’s next high-end Nokia Lumia 928 smartphone, which is rumored to include the same Pure View imaging technology from rival AT&T’s Nokia Lumia 920, will come in a variety of colors. The computer terminal shows that the Lumia 928 will come in cyan, red, black, and white.

However, according to a leak earlier this week, Verizon’s Lumia 928 will come an aluminum shell, an upgrade from the unibody polycarbonate body that Nokia has used since the debut of the company’s Lumia series Windows Phone.

And according to iTechPost, another upgrade from the Lumia 920 on AT&T is that the Lumia 928 is now believed to have a single LED flash along with a single Xenon flash, rather than the dual LED flash modules. Internally, specs for the Lumia 928 will resemble that of the Lumia 920. Both devices will have a 4.5-inch 1280 X 768-pixel display.

It’s unclear at this time, if rumor of Nokia moving to an aluminum enclosure is true, if the Lumia 928 will be able to handle wireless charging. When HTC moved to the unibody aluminum enclosure for the HTC One, the company had to forego wireless charging technology on that phone.

If all these recent rumors surrounding the Verizon Lumia 928 hold true, then the Lumia 928 may be Nokia’s most feature rich Windows Phone to date.

Additionally, it seems that Verizon may be pitting Nokia’s flagship Lumia smartphone against Samsung’s flagship Galaxy S4 as both devices are now rumored to be launched at the same time, or at least close to each other.
