There's very little argument that the Nokia Lumia 92x series of Windows Phones performs extremely well in low light conditions. The latest Verizon commercial, #takebetterphotos, highlights the Lumia 928's camera's low light abilities.

Touted as the "best low light smartphone camera around" the thirty-second ad illustrates how well the 928's camera performs when lighting is at a minimum. Similar to the Lumia 920, the Lumia 928's benefits from the optical stabilization and Nokia's Lumia 928's benefits from the optical stabilization and Nokia's Pureview technology to improve photos captured in those dimly lit situations.

The Nokia Lumia 928 is an exclusive to the Verizon network (opens in new tab) and is currently running $99.99 after contractual discounts.

  • Im First!!
  • Coming first is always an achievement and sometimes selfish.. :D
  • Please, find yourself a noose.
  • Stole my thunder from my reddit post :(
  • People actually post things on reddit other than porn? :P
  • Only if you're subscribed to those subreddits.. Maybe you might have a problem. Or maybe you enjoy those types of things.. There's more than porn on there.
  • Thanks!! You learn something new everyday. I doubt the other stuff on there would interest me though. I do love porn and I don't have a problem. Impotence is a problem.. :P
  • Great ad, highlights the low-light capabilities perfectly since everyone knows how disappointing it is to share photos of awesome moments on which you can't see a thing.
  • I like that Verizon seem to be pushing this phone. Go lumia
  • Awesome. Definitely better than the Nokia/MS one posted yesterday.
  • I liked that one too.  However, I could see it more appealing to the younger crowds...
  • Still only $29 on Newegg.
  • Great! Love these to the point commercials, though the one yesterday was much better.
  • Those commercials won't last long since galaxy s4 is coming out soon
  • An thunder named Nokia is coming with different kind of thunders, it will shake the whole world in the next years, all hail the king, me love thunder
  • Saw this ad on TV last night too...so it's already being rotated heavily. Mostly TBS/USA/A&E type channels.
  • Nice! That's good news!
  • I got a hearty chuckle when the photo of the dog was snapped. What lovely, demonic eyes you have, Rex.
  • Short but direct ad. Nice!
  • Finally a good WP commercial from Verizon. I saw it last night during the Hawks game and quite frankly it was the one good thing that happened during that game.
  • I liked the commerical, but my general experience w/ my 920 in low light is an auto focus assist lamp goes off for a 1/8 sec then focus is set in another 1/8 of a sec, meanwhile my hands move and the image is blury b/c I can't hold still for that long.  This spot indicates that focus and image capture is near instant even in darkness.  I know mobile ads always state "shortened sequences", but this seems a little excessive and would probably cause some returns when people realize that the night shots aren't that quick.  That being said, I have a 920 (which I like better than my 4s) and have not seen, touched, or used a 925/928 in anyway so I'd love to be wrong..
