In particular, its 5-inch frame is small enough to fit snugly in my hand, and the edges have a blunt cut that left my fingers plenty of room to grip the device. On the other hand, the aluminum sides and polycarbonate matte back make the Icon feel reassuringly sturdy.

That said, it's still significantly lighter than the 6-inch 1520, which means it's also more comfortable to carry around. Finally, at 5.86 ounces the Icon is a little heavy - heavier than the 4.5-inch Lumia 1020, anyway. The idea was for the camera to sit flush with the device, but even so, a flat back would have made for a more streamlined look. What's more, the non-removable back here bulges out slightly from the rest of the chassis. Nokia used this same combination of materials on the Lumia 925, but that phone had a less severe design, one marked by gentle curves. With its square shape, sharp corners and flat sides, it's as if Nokia took the Lumia 928 and changed the material from glossy polycarbonate to aluminum on the perimeters and matte polycarbonate on the back. You can check out the full list below, but for now, you get the idea.Īll told, it's hard to find fault with the specs, but the hardware itself is potentially. That includes Nokia's 20-megapixel PureView camera, a 5-inch 1080p display, top-of-the-line quad-core Snapdragon processor, 32GB of internal storage, 2GB of RAM and a 2,420mAh battery, to name just a few specs. The Lumia Icon is the platform's new poster child, offering specs that would make even the most discerning of power users drool.
