Like the Lumia 1520 and Lumia 1020, the Nokia Lumia Icon can capture full resolution photos, as well as scaled-down, high-quality
5MP images for easier sharing.

Connectivity of the smartphone includes Wi-Fi a/b/g/n/ac, Bluetooth 4.0, NFC, and USB 2.0. The phone will work with a nano-SIM card.

Strangely for a US smartphone, the Lumia Icon has FM radio too.
The physical measures of the Nokia Lumia Icon are 137 x 71 x 9.8mm, while its weight tips the scale at 167 grams. The device is powered by a 2,420mAh battery with Qi wireless charging capability.
