Hello,

I'm looking for a Lumia device with support for 802.11ac.
Is there one?

If you visit windowsphone.com you check the specs of each handset. But I think you'll find the answer is no... Just b/g/n

I know the Icon supports it. Maybe the 930.

What's the difference?

The 930 and 1520 also support it.

Cool. With the 930 now approaching half price, I might grab one if it's got ac.

Just checked specs for 930 on GsmArena and Phonarena. Both list ac

Basically, ac support came with the Snapdragon 800 chip. I can't find any information for certain, but I believe the HTC M8 also offers ac.
