The Best iPhone Alternatives Running Windows Phone

The Nokia Lumia Icon for Verizon

Nokia can say whatever it wants but the Nokia Lumia Icon seems like it was designed to be the perfect iPhone alternative. Unlike some of the company’s latest smartphones, the Lumia Icon is fairly understated design wise. It drops the end-to-end brightly colored plastic that previously dominated just about every Nokia Windows Phone. Instead, it's covered in perfectly machined metal edges and a polycarbonate rear.

Inside is a quad-core processor that can easily match the iPhone 5s. The device’s screen exceeds the iPhone 5s’ modest display. With the Lumia Icon users get a 5-inch display.

Nokia’s pretty big on imaging and that’s reflected here too. The Lumia Icon’s rear-facing camera is a 20 megapixel PureView sensor. There are also an array of microphones to make sure the device picks up every single sound when recording video. Right now the Lumia 1020 is just $49.99 with a two-year service agreement.
