Lumia 929 selling in China

[Moiz Mian]

Looking at that they are saying the battery is 3400mA, which would be pretty awesome. Likely would have even better life than the 1520 does if it's true.

I think that's a typo. It's 2400mA

 

[dkediger]

Yeah - has to be a typo. An increase of 1000mAh in that size of package would be plastered all over the headlines. That would be an order of magnitude increase in power density.

 

[INCREMENTAL]

If I'm not mistaken wasn't the battery specs leaked on Verizon's test page? That should be enough proof to not even question the battery size anymore. This also goes along with what's already been said from a person that has the device. I wish it wasn't true but I say everything we have heard about the phone is true, only thing we don't know is release date.

I'm finding myself more interested in this phone, since there's been no word of a 1020 variant. I'd love for this phone to have the 41MP camera. Shame. But the more I don't hear about that coming to Verizon, the more I'm interested in this phone.

With regards to the ones for sale in China, my worry wouldn't be as much whether they would ship the phone or not, but whether you could activate it on Verizon. The question would be whether the IMEI would be valid since these obviously didn't go through the right channels.

For the battery I've seen rumors on 2000, 2420, 2510, and 3400 mA for battery sizes. The 2420mA was on the verizon site, most of the other rumors leaned toward 2510mA. The most recent was from the chinese site saying it was 3400mA. It probably is just the 2420mA, but I really have no clue which is the right one.
Maybe someday it might get released so we can all find out.

For the longest time I was completely convinced it was 2510 because that was shown in leaked device images when the phone was opened up. But that was a couple months ago. And with how long the delay has been, I have no idea if that will remain the battery size, especially now that Verizon's own website says a different number than what was printed on the inside of the device on the battery in a previous leak. So my brain hurts and I have no idea what to believe, haha.

That, plus to be honest, I think they're hot and I wouldn't touch one with a 10 foot pole.

When release at indonesia ???

 

[TechyMexican]

when will be released in the U.S is the first question. then we can talk about international my best answer would be, wait for Mobile world congress. you'll probably see something better for international users and AT&T customers like always

 

[broar94]

if it's $600 in China, could we hope for $500 or less here in the U.S?

No way. Lumia 929 has 20mp preview camera and it will be a flagship replacing 925? It will cost 700$ minimum.

considering the Lumia 1020 is $609 without a contract, your argument is invalid.

I'm thinking your quite off... As WP8 devices are a little cheaper than the iPhoney, I would say retail off contract price will be $549.99-599.99. Contract price will be $199.99 with a sale within 30-40 days for $99.00 with a 2 year.... That would be right in line where the 928 started and where it SHOULD be for a WP8 device.

Any more than that might be too much....

few billion people in china and they are unable to create a single video review. thank god for Lisa from mobiletech or Marques

Considering it's a true exclusive, I'm wondering if it won't be $499. The 1520, an inch bigger and 16gb smaller is less than $599 at AT&T.

 

[meathead88]

ah ok, didn't know that. i only own one which is the current Nokia 1520 made in China.

My 928 is made in China...
