Nokia Lumia Icon

Nokia Lumia Icon

The Nokia Lumia Icon is an extremely solid Windows Phone that resides on Verizon's 4G LTE network. It's also our top pick on Microsoft's platform. It's a little more expensive than the Galaxy S4 but we think it's worth the price of admission.

We like the Lumia Icon for a number of reasons. First, it offers buyers an excellent camera experience. Nokia is known for its great cameras and this phone doesn't disappoint. In addition to that, it comes with great audio, great build quality, and Verizon's massive 4G LTE network.

The device is affordable, it's priced at $99 though we're sure it can be found for much cheaper, and it's a solid alternative to the Android-powered Galaxy S4.

    you have mentioned the Moto X in this list but what about the Nexus 5 ? Normally it is considered to be better than the moto x . Can you please explain the reasons for leaving out the Nexus 5 . Actually I am considering buying the nexus 5 but your exclusion of this device in this list leaves me confused.

    Wait, what?

    An article about leading cell phones premised on the idea that the Galaxy line is one of the most visible, highest quality, most capable cell phone lines out there?

    An article about cell phones that doesn’t highlight that annoying fruit company with their under powered, over priced, locked down, tiny screen catch-up phones?

    Where is the fruit-mania?

    Is the world starting to become sane?

    You mentioned all crap phones and left iPhone 5S out? You need to get enough technical knowledge on the smartphones before you start writing suggestions for buyers.
    *Highly recommend using iPhone 5S for few days before you write the next article*

    I have Galaxy S4 from almost 1 year and drop down the plan to purchase Galaxy S5 because the latest kitkat version i.e. 4.4.2 is available on Galaxy S4 and I recently updated it. However, its battery performance is affected in this 1 year but I recently purchased a wireless charger for it to keep it fully charged in order to explore more apps and features.
