Nokia Lumia 929 Windows Phone to Be Released on Verizon Soon

By Vincent Funaro, Christian Post Reporter Tuesday, October 01, 2013

The Nokia Lumia 929 is expected to be released on Verizon soon.

The device is branded to be a flagship Windows Phone for the carrier that will replace the existing Lumia 928 that is currently offered by Big Red. The smartphone recently made an appearance in a press photo on @Evleaks. Sources familier with Nokia's plans revealed that the device will be available on the carrier before the end of 2013.

Judging from the reports based on the photos, the Lumia 929 will feature a large-screen with 1080p resolution, a 20-megapixel camera, and will be a variant of the Lumia 1520 that is currently available through Verizon.

Nokia will also release the Lumia 525 handset which has been codenamed Glee later this year. @evleaks revealed the name for this device earlier today. However, it did not offer any details regarding its appearance or specifications.

The Verge reported on this handset earlier this year stating that the Lumia 525 will replace the Lumia 520 that was made to focus on music.

The Lumia 525 will be unveiled alongside six of the devices the company is expected to introduce next month. It is a lower-end model that will be vital to the company's market share, since the Lumia 520 is the most popular Windows Phone that's driving market share increases for Microsoft's mobile OS.

The competition in the high-end segment has stunted Window's Phone growth as it has been quite fierce in recent years with Apple and Samsung leading the race at an exponential rate. This year has seen to the demise of BlackBerry formerly known as RIM, who in its last ditch effort launch the BlackBerry 10 OS to reignite the company, but failed to generate sales. Microsoft has managed to remain a low key player in that arena thanks to the success of the Lumia line.
