Nokia Lumia Icon review: Powered by a 2.2 GHz Krait 400 quad-core processor, paired with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 chipset, the new Lumia Icon features a 5-inch AMOLED capacitive touchscreen 32 GB internal storage, 2 GB RAM, and a 20 MP camera-not enough to beat its other Lumia brothers, but powerful enough to be a mid-range choice.

After its release this February, the Nokia Lumia Icon is off to a positive start. Although it isn't the largest Windows Phone handset (the 6-inch Lumia 1520) or the most advanced camera phone in the US (41-megapixel Lumia 1020), the Icon still sports competitive specs and features, enough to make it the third most powerful Windows smartphone in the market.

DESIGN. Measuring 5.39 x 2.80 x 0.39 inches and weighing 167 grams, the Nokia Lumia Icon's body is not much of a head turner. Its flat, slab design is similar to the Lumia 928, a bit bulky and heavy for its range.

DISPLAY. Its 5-inch AMOLED capacitive touchscreen has a resolution of 1080 x 1920 pixels and a pixel density of 441 ppi. What it lacks for design, the Icon makes up for its display. It features rich, bright, and crisp high-definition images that would make its Lumia brothers proud.

PERFORMANCE. There is no doubt about it-the Lumia Icon delivers sound performance because of its powerful processor. However, it failed to have a microSD card slot for external storage, keeping its internal memory at 32 GB.

CAMERA. Like other Lumia models, this smartphone doubles as an impressive camera phone. With 20 megapixels, its rear-facing camera has 4992 х 3744 pixels, six-lens Carl Zeiss optics, optical image stabilization, autofocus, dual-LED flash with 1/2.5'' sensor size, 1.12 µm pixel size, PureView technology, dual capture, geo-tagging, face detection, panorama. Meanwhile, the front-facing camera has an average 1.2 MP.

Retailing on an expensive price tag, the Nokia Lumia Icon is perfect for you if you're after a stellar camera phone with a sound processor and Windows Phone OS.
