Nokia Oyj, the Finnish mobile-phone maker trying to win back users from Apple Inc. and Samsung Electronics Co., struck a deal to get Verizon Wireless to sell its new smartphone, said two people familiar with the plan.
The largest U.S. wireless carrier is set to unveil a plan next month to offer Nokia’s Lumia 928, said the people, who asked not to be identified because the deal hasn’t been made public. The phone has a metal body, 4.5-inch touch screen, 8-megapixel camera and wireless charging, said one of the people. It runs on Microsoft Corp.’s Windows software like other Lumias.
