Details:
The Lumia 929 (930 in international markets) features a 2.2 GHz quad-core Snapdragon 800 processor, 5-inch AMOLED display at FHD 1080p resolution, 32GB of internal storage, and 20-megapixel PureView rear camera.

Get gorgeous HD video and awesome stereo sound. A 20-megapixel camera and single-finger zoom make it easy to get close to the action. You’ll get great performance with the Snapdragon 800 processor, designed so you can quickly switch from email to games to video.

What’s so awesome about Nokia’s latest Lumia? Besides its obvious good looks, here are some highlights:

Killer HD video. The Lumia Icon can record 2160p (4K UHD) video and zoom in with the touch of a finger. The phone’s ZEISS lens and optical image stabilization help deliver sharp videos even during close-ups. It also comes with four high performance microphones and Nokia Rich Recording technology, designed to help filter out distracting background noises for crystal clear audio.

20-megapixel camera: This new Lumia also shines with still photography, and features a 20-megapixel camera with Nokia PureView technology.
No-squint HD screen: The Icon’s 5-inch 1080p HD display has a viewing angle of almost 180 degrees and glare-reduction technology, so you can watch your favorite shows, movies, or video clips even under sunny skies.

The Icon is also Verizon’s first Windows Phone with a speedy quad-core processor. This 2.2 GHz engine not only helps power its great photo and video feature, but makes it ideal for Xbox gaming. Another handy plus: the phone’s 2420 mAh battery supports Qi wireless charging (charging pad sold separately).

The Lumia Icon also comes with Nokia’s latest software update, Lumia Black, as well as Nokia’s suite of highly regarded photo and video apps: Nokia Camera, Refocus, Storyteller and Video Director. That’s on top of all the high-profile imaging apps already in the Windows Phone Store, including Instagram, Vine, Vyclone, Go Pro, and Hipstamatic Oggl, just to call out a few.

Sleek, Timeless Industrial Design
Metal. Glass. Power. This sleek, ergonomic device contains a muscular 2.2GHz quad-core processor which translates into the capability to store, stream and multitask at high speed over 4G LTE. Enjoy superb video and sound recording every time. Nokia Rich Recording and 4 high performance microphones deliver brilliant stereo with minimal distortion and background noise.

Full 1080p HD, Optical Image Stabilization (OIS) and unpixelated zoom work to capture images you never thought possible. At 20MP, Lumia Icon’s PureView ZEISS 6-lens camera has one of the most powerful smartphone sensors today. Post-capture zoom lets you get closer to your subject from where you are, even after your shot. OIS neutralizes blurred or jittery images often caused by movement for sharp, clear pictures on the fly.
