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.
History:
The Nokia Lumia Icon (originally known as the Lumia 929) is a high-end smartphone developed by Nokia that runs Microsoft's Windows Phone 8 operating system. It was announced on February 12, 2014, and released on Verizon Wireless in the United States on February 20, 2014. Its international counterpart is the Nokia Lumia 930. On June 23, 2016, Verizon released the Windows 10 Mobile operating system update for the Icon.
It is the last high-end Nokia-branded Lumia device and succeeded by the Microsoft-branded Lumia 950 and its XL equivalent. - Наука та технологія
Man now looking at this... I wish they make a phone looks exactly like that.
Sony Xperia?
@@gunturpasopatipamungkas2340 not even close
@@egcozinonThey look pretty much like this, except for the display that's flatter.
This OS was beautiful.I love how the UI is simple and non distracting. I occasionally still use my Lumia 650 but more and more apps keep crashing due to being non supported. Such a shame.
it was so beautiful nobody wanted it.
As a Pixel 7 Pro and iPhone 13 mini I really, really miss this phone. People say iOS devices have the best fluidity and support but this phone still works like butter today even though is not even supported anymore. Yes, it was way ahead of its time.
Man I loved windows Phone. They looked great, features were way ahead of their time and the interface was simply great! I'd go back in a heartbeat if they made it again today.
So ahead of their time
I had this one and the 1520, and man do I miss it. The 1520 was a superb phone. The UI was great, and the build of the phone was top. I'm so sad we no longer have Windows Phone, PalmOS/WebOS, or Blackberry. We have very little competition in the market, and it shows. Every year higher prices with less and less innovation due to the duopoly.
I agree! The problem with Google is that once they capture a market, they stop improving that product. Android and Google search have hardly changes or improved...
Window phones were great. They gave you the option to install your apps on the memory card. I liked the os because you could you could change the size of the app icons and app folders. Some of the phones had removable batteries so you could easily replace the battery yourself. I also liked how Windows Phone was compatible with your PC's Windows Media Player so you could import music playlists from your PC to your phone.
I miss my Windows phone so much! 😭 the live tiles made it so I never forgot anything bc it was all live on one screen. I wish they just would have had access to all the apps :(
You are still able to complete a reg edit on the 930 to spoof it into being a 950XL and get the last OS updated. Run app updates through the store after doing this and Weather will work once again! Windows Phones still make excellent digital detox devices with great cameras and the basics. Spotify and Telegram will still work to some degree, as does the Guardian news app. I still take a 950xl on holiday for it's great camera and for being slightly more disconnected. Great throwback video as always ☺️
I send my Lumia 950 back after some weeks in 2016. It often crashed and the camera pictures always got this yellow tinge. Today, I only have the Lumia 930 and 1520 as my personal phones, and I'm happier with both than I ever was with the Lumia 950. Still, I hope you continue to enjoy your 950 XL.
@@onkelebert787 they are both great devices too. The 930 is beautifully designed and the 1520 well suited to live tiles with it’s large screen. Glad to hear you are still enjoying Windows Phone!
How would one do the regedit tweak?
@@onkelebert787 1520 is a beast!
I want to know how to fix the weather app on my 950XL. Any tutorials on that? Telegram does not work to some degree, it just works great. Exactly the same as on an iPhone or my Mac.
The Lumia 930 used to be my dream phone in 2016. Back then, I could only afford the Lumia 650, which was still really great at its price, but I spend hours every day watching reviews and stuff about the Lumia 930.
Thanks a lot for this video give me a lot memories with Nokia 808 Pureview and Nokia Lumia 1020.
Thumb Up 👍, love your video
Look that design wow, still looks premium
Windows and Zune best products MS ever made that nobody heard of
I really miss Windows Phone.
Turn on the transparency of the tiles on the home screen. My god, it's beautiful!! Especially with the dark or silver scheme!
You did not even touch on the best parts of that OS. You could fire up Cortana (Siri for Windows) and say, "next time I talk with OSReviews, remind me to tell him I like his channel". Then the next time I send or receive a text, a call, or an email from/to you, it would pop up a reminder that said " remind me to tell him I like his channel". through Cortana, you could say, "next time I go by Walmart, remind me to get some batteries". And then every time you drove within 1/2 a mile of a Walmart, it would pop up a reminder on your phone. You could say "remind me to get flowers for my wife" and every time you went by any flower store, it would pop up a reminder. I travel for work and go to the same restaurants but never know when I might be there. At one, I told Cortana, "next time I come here, remind me to order the fish tacos". Eighteen months later when I was at that restaurant, my phone dings and the reminder says "order the fish tacos".
shit OS. a total failure.
I have still my Nokia 920/925 & 930. Miss using them. Battery time is not that good anymore, but they are some years old now:). If some importen apps have been function still, i have still using them. All of them was great devices. Fast OS & just have quad-core. They will just be a memories now :(. I still are a Nokia fan & use Nokia 7 plus now.
Nokia lumia 930 was a beautiful phone, I loved mine 💖
I had one of these and actually liked it quite a lot.
The only bad thing about it was the camera sucked that was literally the only flaw
WhatsApp Chalta h kya
I love this Phone. The camera was lit for that time too 👌
Still have this phone. Other than missing all the physical button pad, everything's fine. I updated it to the last windows 10 1709. and still works great in 2024. ^_^
These devices was really outstanding ...💔😊
I miss my lumias. They were great. Just sadly didn't get the support it really needed.
Очень сильно обожаю windows phone для меня это лучшая ОС навсегда
i still have 2 windows phones at home, i really liked them alot. if the apps wouldnt have been abandoned and installed apps would work, i probably still would be using my 950xl
Does microsoft word still work?
@@Tariphilip yep
@@Tariphilip nope. If you saw the problem with Weather app in this videos - Same goes for Microsoft word.
@@bepopxxx Dont mislead people please.
@@andrewsneacker1256 it does, what misleading?
Watching this from my Lumia 930 is really a special feeling.
UA-cam works remarkably well in Edge!
I used Lumian 1520 until they shutted down the OS. Such an immaculate phone.
I would love to have a Windows OS on a phone. If I had a choice of Windows 12 mobile or Android I would pick Windows OS due to better battery management and clean OS.
So much nostalgic
I had one in green color. Windows Phone is still the best OS. Miss it big time!
Still have one of these in my drawer.
If I could do mobile.banking on it I'd use this every day for sure. Unreal build quality, kept on on windows 8.1 on purpose. Best phone I've ever had.
It is great NOT to have mobile banking on your phone. A bit of friction between your wallet and all the shopping distractions of the world is a plus in my opinion.
@@lovemadeinjapanYour opinion is not relevant for most people.
@@MisiekCentralny Yours neither. No-ones actually.
What is next stop of Nokia ? How long would Foxconn hold this product line?
My nokia lumia lumia 650 doesn't not show any app in app store.. please make a video to os update process ?
I had this phone and I loved it. To bad windows phones didn't stay around. I still like the windows tiles. The luck of support in apps was the parameter who make the most damage.
Wasnt just apps, but MS lieng to their customers by promosing non existant updates and fixes, carrier locked updates, slow to release updates with simple basic UI features that both ios and android had. MS had at one point, created tool to allow android apps to be simply modified to work on windows phones, but like anything, was abandoned. Even MS software was prioritised on android and ios over its own os.
THE GREAT PHONE LUMIA.
I miss windows phone so much 😢
Nokia phones with Windows 8.1 mobile os was the prime of windows phone
beautiful glass and metal and polycarbonate body combination and beautiful UI.... the only problem with this phone was the battery life
Best mobile phone OS ever....
Witam czy można odzyskać utracone zdjęcia i filmy z telefonu Nokia Lumia 730 Windows Phone 8.1 Proszę o odpowiedź, z góry dziękuję, kłaniam się
How do i install WP10?
This is the best iPhone Apple never designed! It reeks iPhone 4, but the design team outperformed Apple in every way, it looks even nicer than anything Apple made since 2013. Some things I missed in this video: the original OS was Windows Phone 8.1, it has 4 high dynamic range microphones so it can record Dolby 5.1 surround sound with video (which was lost after the Windows 10 upgrade), and Nokia demonstrated this with concert recordings in their commercials. Also really amazing is how nice the screen is, even today. Nowadays most OLED panels are cropped to sRGB or P3 in software, with white subpixels, this is a wide-gamut true RGB pixel fest.
The images were not downsampled to 16 megapixels, that is how the camera works. It has 20 megapixels, but you choose 16:9 aspect or 4:3. In 4:3 18 MP are used, in 16:9 you get 16MP output. These sensors were very unique, as both aspects have the full diagonal of the sensor! The effective sensor area has the shape of a cross. Today all sensors are 4:3 and if you shoot 16:9 you get a cropped image.
Oh, and new phones don't have 1 inch sensors. They are named 1 inch, but 1 inch in sensor naming is actually 16mm diagonally. Not that it is better, because of the smaller size, the Lumias are all distortion free and tack sharp corner to corner. Most modern large-size sensors have serious corner fuzziness and aberation issues. The 930 and the later 950XL have about the best sensor/lens combinations for daylight architecture photograpy, as the sharpness is crazy and straight lines are perfectly straight.
I totally LOVED the build quality and it’s design! They were SO colorful! Windows phones had also one of the BEST keyboards! Wish the phone would still exist but like with heavily modified android or whatever.
Suface Duo or Surface Duo 2 has the windows keyboards. They have recently been discontinued,but still supported because they're android phones.
Windows phone OS was the best data efficient, smooth, refreshing and unique.
I dont know why Microsoft didn't proceed well. But still now also if the support is there means i go for windows phone than android. As we dont have other option than android we are forced to buy android phones. IOS was never an option for the general public...
I have one of these phones and I need a screen replacement where can I get one??????
amazon or do what I did. Exacto knife or paper cut an existing screen protector to tailor your phone. That's what I do to protect my windows phone.
My goal in life is to reach peace and comfort to the point where i dont ever need a smartphone again...just so that i can use a Lumia 930/925 with Windows Phone 8.1 as my only phone.
I still have a Lumia 930 and a 1520 and like them both, but to be honest, the 930 was not the best phone. No SD Card slot, no glance screen and dying microphones when you update to Windows 10 mobile.
The Nokia windows phone was awesome. Ease of use and the graphics was amazing . Too bad Windows Stopped making that phone. There was a big market for it but they really messed up. I really missed the missed those Nokia windows phone.
The windows os was very clean . I hated Windows for ending their cell phones . The surface is a piece of..never bought one .. tried it , hated it.
I miss windows phones
Me too.
Of the windows phone had the same 3rd party support apple and android had it would of dominated the smart phone market
Man this phone was so good. Windows Phone was amazing. Such a mistake by Microsoft.
I had this phone from 2014-2015/16. I’m here because I’m bored of my iPhone and miss my Lumia Icon
Just use it again. It will work. My daily driver is the 950XL, and it is such a nice phone to use in 2023!
what kills me about Lumia phones Nokia or Microsoft is that the mid-flagship range always did wireless charging now Nokia after doing android reserves it EXCLUSIVELY for their flagship lineup
Too bad it didn't went through.. Windows phone at that time was the best and fastest option. Smooth interface, plain and simple user experience..
Beautiful phone. My last Windows Phone wasn't this nice, it was just an Alcatel Idol 4S, but the software was still great. I have a Surface Duo now, and honestly I hate it... I don't want to use Google Maps, and I feel like I have to keep fighting with everything because I don't want to move to Google services for everything... all my pictures are in OneDrive, all my passwords are in Edge, all my contacts are in Outlook, etc... and all these dumb apps keep trying to make me use Google for everything, and I don't want to use Google. Ugh. I can't even ask for help with my phone if I get stuck or confused on how to do something, because everyone will just try to force me back onto the default Google app for everything against my will if I let them touch my phone. I didn't buy a Surface Duo to use Google apps for everything. I like Bing Maps and OpenStreetMap, I never liked Google's garbage and I don't particularly want to start using it now. I feel like the end of Windows Phone has largely forced me back to doing everything on my PC, because I just can't be bothered to mess with Android, and keep giving up and pulling out my laptop out of frustration. Things just don't work on there like they do on the PC, I don't know why anyone ever thought Android and Windows was a good combination. Everything was nice and clean and easy to deal with when my phone and my PC were both running Windows 8/10. Now the only way to do anything on mobile or access the services I'm used to is through some half-baked Google OS that I don't really trust at all, and which doesn't really work for me or meet my needs at all.
win10m is the best mobile phone operating system.
Best of all - the price:
499$
I love this UI...
why stupid public don't buy this phone...
still I can't understand.
if this windows phone sucess..it would be great..because the system not android
does whatsapp still works?
No
@@User-zy5io thnks
No, and that is a blast. I was able to leave all junk mother-groups.
Can we install pc games on it?
No
It's not eXpecially. It's especially!!!
Developers don't want to creat another app for this OS! Because Windows phone buyers are less than IOS and ANDROID! Why Windows phone users are less 🤔? Because, in the first place, these app developers don't want to put apps on it 😅. So why are developers complaining 🙄?
What is the difference between the restrictions, on the IOS and Windows phone OS?
Microsoft messed up big time. The OS blew right by Apple and Android.
I hated that Nokia/ Microsoft partnership. If Nokia went to Android, they'd still be relevant today.
If Nokia chooses Android, I don't think there will be beautiful photography products like Lumia 1020, 1520, 830 and 930.
@@trantrung_99 Exactly. Too bad lack of apps especially Google apps kinda kill it. I love the camera and display of 1520.
They did the right thing at the wrong time imho
Nokia is still relevant today because of the Lumia phones. Look at them right now with Android and you can just see how lame and out of touch they are with the brand and customers
they should've focused on Meego
Record with a better camera. The picture quality looks very, very soft and crappy.
Is this guy one of those Indians?
nice hardware and bad software.
This would make a good dumb phone in 2023 lol
Tbh ngl
A middle ground between a feature phone and a smartphone!
