According to sources cozy with The Verge, Microsoft is pulling out all of the stops when it comes to marketing Nokia’s new flagship smartphone, the Lumia 928, by creating a customized design that will only appear on Verizon. The handset is expected to be released on Verizon in April, and as for the customizations, Nokia will be slapping aluminum on the body and adding a Xenon flash for its 8-MP camera.

The Lumia 928 will be lighter and thinner than its predessor, the Lumia 920. The specs however, will be identical to those of the Lumia 920, which are a dual core 1.5 Ghz processor, 1 GB of RAM, 32GB of storage and will be running on the Windows Phone 8 OS. The Lumia 928 will also have a 4.5-inch OLED display and will support not only LTE, but SVLTE which enables the simultaneous transfer of voice and data at the same time.
