Nokia has unveiled the Lumia 928

在多年落后于竞争对手三星和苹果之后,诺基亚推出了一款新的高端智能手机Lumia 928,它将通过美国第二大运营商威瑞森独家出售,旨在扩大其在高端市场的份额.

Nokia has unveiled a new high-end smartphone, the Lumia 928, which it will sell exclusively through the second-largest US carrier, Verizon, aiming to expand its share in the premium market after years in which it has fallen behind rivals Samsung and Apple.

新的Lumia 928,如果消费者加上50美元的邮购折扣,同时与威瑞森签署一份为期两年的协议,售价就为99美元,类似于目前通过美国电话电报公司AT&T出售的Lumia 920,但质量更轻,外观略有不同.

The new Lumia 928, priced at $99 if customers mail in a $50 rebate and sign to a two-year deal with Verizon, is similar to the Lumia 920 model currently sold through AT&T, but is lighter and slightly different in appearance.

与诺基亚920的185g相比它重162 g.4.5英寸屏幕也达到手机的极致,相比诺基亚920的弧线边缘给人一种锐利的感觉.与早期Lumia系列包括蓝色、红色和黄色的选择相比,新机型只有黑白两色.

It weighs 162g compared with 185g for the 920. The 4.5in screen also extends to the edge of the phone, giving a sharper impression than the curved edges of the 920. The new models also come in black and white, compared with the colorful options including blue, red and yellow, of the earlier Lumia range.

其他特性比如870万像素的摄像头和高通公司的双核1.5GHz双核处理器,大都与920相差不大.另外这款928使用微软的Windows Phone 8软件.

Most other features, such as a 8.7MP camera and 1.5GHz dual core processor by Qualcomm, are the same as the 920. The 928 is the latest in Nokia's Lumia range of smartphones which use Microsoft's Windows Phone 8 software.

诺基亚在2011年转向了Windows Phone,旨在与苹果的iPhone和使用安卓系统的竞争对手抗衡.尽管Lumia手机的全球销售已经在最近几个季度有所上升,但他们仍只占整个智能手机市场约5%.而智能手机占据整个手机市场超过一半的份额.

Nokia switched to Windows Phone in 2011, aiming to compete with Apple's iPhones and rivals using Android system. Though worldwide sales of Lumia phones have grown in recent quarters, at 5.6m in first quarter they still account for only around 5% of the overall smartphone market, which now makes up more than half of all mobile phone sales.
