Review :
Nokia Lumia 929 also known as Lumia Icon is the latest flagship from Nokia with a 5 inches Full HD AMOLED Display. Recently it made its entrance at MWC 2014 along with Nokia X, Nokia X+ & Nokia XL. Unlike the three other phones it runs on Microsoft Windows 8 Black Edition. The device is powered by 2.2 GHz Quad Core Processor alongside 2 GB of RAM.

Camera on the device is Pure View 20 Megapixels from Carl Zeiss Optics. And the video recording along with stereo sound record is at 1080p @ 30fps. There is a Dual LED flash so you do not need to worry in very low light conditions. On the front it has 1.2 Megapixel camera which allows videocall at 720p HD. The screen of the device is protected by latest and the strongest Gorilla Glass 3 which provides a very good protection.

The main downside of the phone is that it does not have a SD card support for extra storage. But there is plenty of storage on board. It comes in only 32 GB variant. Another thing is it has a Nano SIM support which is another demerit because not everyone is still familiar with it. So if you are getting this phone you will have cut it accordingly. This becomes a great deal if you are already using a Micro SIM.

Currently the phone is available on verizon network and soon will make its entrance into Indian Market.

Colour Options include Black & White.
