The Verge Review

They really killed my interest right here with the battery talk
Flagship phones demand flagship specs, however, and filling out the Verizon store placard forced Nokia to stifle what could have been a really remarkable design. A thinner version of this phone (see: Lumia 925) would have felt like a machine: a beautiful, futuristic, dangerous weapon of a phone. But in order to fit a hefty 2,420mAh battery inside next to the 2.2GHz Snapdragon 800 processor and 2GB of RAM, Nokia turned a svelte design into a thick, bulging brick. It's 5.86 ounces and 9.9 millimeters thick, and feels a lot like a stretched iPhone 4S ? not huge or unwieldy by any means, but far from impressive. There are no beautiful colors here, no feats of engineering. Next to a phone like the HTC One or the iPhone 5S, the Icon feels pedestrian.
The flip side, of course, is that the phone works remarkably well. It lasts a full day with normal use: watching movies on the bright display can hurt longevity (two hours and fifteen minutes of Flight over LTE ate 45 percent of the battery), but most days it lasted until bedtime.
