Remember when Nokia released three mid-rangers on three U.S. carriers? You dont? Well then be sure to check out our Nokia Lumia 820 vs. Lumia 810 vs. Lumia 822 comparison. Now Nokia has lined up an impressive set of flagships for three of the major carriers in the U.S. each having a unique appeal to it. If you are interested in a flagship Windows Phone and cant decide on one, check out our comparison of the Nokia Lumia 920, Nokia Lumia 928 and Nokia Lumia 925 below.
The Lumia 920 is the first of the three and has been an exclusive for AT&T since it launched last year. It comes in an array of colors which makes it the most appealing but is the heaviest of the three.
The Lumia 928 is an exclusive on Verizon. Its lighter and thinner than the Lumia 920 but manages to include a Xenon flash for even better low light performance.
The Lumia 925 is the lightest and thinnest of the three handsets and will be exclusively available in the U.S. through Verizon. The handset manages to offer slightly better battery life than its siblings despite its smaller frame. Nokia has even managed to improve the camera to an extent that the Lumia 925 is capable of producing amazing photos without requiring a Xenon flash. However its thin size has resulted in Nokia having to offer wireless charging as a seperate add-on.
In terms of hardware the three flagship siblings are well matched and should perform equally.
