Ad says it all: Nokia Lumia 928 confirmed with PureView camera

Nokia’s successor to the Lumia 920, the Lumia 928 has now been confirmed thanks to an advertisement in the Vanity Fair magazine. The ad was first spotted by Engadget. Later a link for the Nokia Lumia 928 went live on the company’s website as well.

Although the page on Nokia’s website does not state which phone it is, the url title mentions it as Lumia928. The page also has a video which compares the camera of the Nokia Lumia 920 to an iPhone 5 and the Samsung Galaxy SIII and states that the camera can shoot high-quality images even in low-light conditions.
