Any hardware difference between Lumia Icon and 930?

[Mech0z]

Just wonder if we can expect the reviews of the 930 to be the same as the Icon? Except that it will of course have WP8.1

I hope for good batterylife like the Lumia 1520 have

If we don't count the color as hardware, then there is no difference.

It's got CDMA2000 instead of UTMS for 3G, but that's it for h/w differences.

With the physical dimensions, port, camera, speaker and button placement e.t.c, are the Icon and 930 the exact same?

Does the icon have the "motion core"?

It also has a different LTE/4G radio in it.

Yep.

"With the launch of Nokia SensorCore Nokia is making this low power functionality available for Nokia Lumia 1520, Lumia Icon and Nokia Lumia 930 and also on the more affordable devices, Nokia Lumia 630 and Lumia 635."

So it's just the LTE/4G radios and the back cover that's different lol

What about the ability to record in Dolby multichannel? Heard that being touted around for the 930 but not the icon?

To be more specific, does the 930 have more mics than the icon, or is it just a software thing that codes the recording into Dolby?

The Icon and 1520 are getting Dolby Surround Sound recording.

The Icon has the same amount of mics as the 930.

This is why I think complaining about the 930 not getting published in the USA is kind of stupid they basically got the 930 earlier

Well The icon is stuck on Verizon, and even unlocked doesnt seem to play nice with other carriers even though it has the same compatible frequency bands. Plus its only available in black and white and has that eyesore of a Verizon logo pasted on the front.

Yes, and with so many of us on AT&T in the U.S. What about OUR 930? I've been with AT&T for over 10 years and have no intention on switching... But what the hell, according to the latest ad, my 1020 can do everything a 930/Icon can.. So why would I want to upgrade anyway?
