In terms of weight, Lumia 928 (162 gms) is a bit lighter ~23gms compared to Lumia 920.

It comes with non removable 2000 mAh BV-4NW battery.

In terms of the battery life while using it, Nokia claims that the device comes with talk time of 11.8 hrs on 2G network & 16.2 hrs on 3G network with a standby time of 606 hrs on 2G & 541 hrs on 3G. In terms of music playback, the maximum music playback time for the device is 80 hrs.
