At the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona last month, many expected Nokia to announce a new flagship smartphone. But there were four phones shown, but they were mid-range handsets from the entry. Two of these were one of the most affordable devices running the Windows Phone 8 operating system.

So it will not be too late for Nokia to bring the next flagship smartphone to the market. Shortly afterwards, the Finnish company will unveil their new Nokia Lumia 928 in April to compete with the high-profile mobile sets in the market. Technology site The Verge Has published this information quoting reliable sources.

The 927 model will have some changes that will distinguish the device from the previous high-end smartphone Lumia 920 of the same series. According to reports, the Lumia 928 smartphone will use an Xenon flash instead of an aluminum body and LED flash instead of plastic.

Nokia’s new 928 model will feature a lighter and shorter (10.2mm) design than the Lumia 920, one of the most successful smartphones powered by Windows Phone 8, with an 8-megapixel PureView camera, and a 4.5-inch LED display.

The Lumia 926 processor and RAM are less likely to change from the 920 (dual core 1.5 GHz CPU, 1 GB RAM). At the same time it will be able to enjoy voice and LTE services which are not available on iPhone 5 (on Verizon network).

Updated April 6, 2013: The Verge Now, it is not yet certain whether the handset will have an aluminum body.
