Nokia Lumia Icon Review, Specs: New Windows Mobile Features 5” Display, Quad-core Processor, 2 GB RAM, 32 GB Memory, 20 MP Camera; Get Ready For The ‘Real Deal,’ Says Reports

Nokia Lumia Icon review, specs: With a 2.2 GHz quad core processor under the hood, the Lumia Icon, or the Lumia 930 features a 5-inch display, 2 GB RAM, 32 GB internal storage, and a 20 Megapixel camera.

After its release last February, the latest addition to the Lumia series has received a lot of thumbs up from critics, saying that its specs and features may be the best ones that Nokia has created. Currently available on Verizon Wireless, the Lumia Icon is a great choice for those who are looking for just the right combination of quality camera and display and sound performance. But don’t just take our word for it. Here is a quick rundown of its features.

DISPLAY & DESIGN

The Lumia Icon’s 5-inch AMOLED capacitive touchscreen sports a resolution of 1080 x 1920 pixels with an impressive pixel density of 441 ppi. Guaranteed to show crisp images with vibrant colors in a wide screen, this handset gives a great viewing experience.

The Lumia 930 is available in white and black. Upon looking at the white Lumia Icon, we can see that the design has a resemblance of an iPhone with its silver band on the edges. The body has a dimension of 137 x 71 x 9.8 mm and a weight of 167 grams.

PERFORMANCE

Powered by a 2.2 GHz quad core processor with a 2 GB RAM, the Lumia Icon could have had seemingly flawless specs. However, its 32 GB memory went downhill because of its lack of micro SD storage expansion. Although 32 GB is big, it is still a waste for a Windows handset with a good camera to have no chance of expanding its memory.

CAMERA

Having a trademark of a quality camera, Nokia did not fail to give the Lumia Icon a decent 20 MP camera. Smaller than the 1020, it can save two versions of every photo you shoot; the first and “original” copy has the larger megapixel size, while the second one is smaller for online sharing.

“The camera in the Icon, overall, is in fact better than that in the 1020. But either would be perfectly suitable to replace a point and click camera. Unless you're a professional photographer, this could be all the camera you ever need,” commended winsupersite.com.

Its camera also has a strong 1080 video capacity with 30 fps. Meanwhile, its secondary camera sports 1.2 MP.

Functional and efficient, this Windows smartphone is one of the biggest contenders in the market when it comes to quality. In fact, winsupersite.com even declared that “The Lumia Icon is the real deal.”
