How are you guys disappointed in the camera ? The 1520 has one of the best cameras on the market, which bonds very well for the icon ...
there needs to be more hands on user reviews to judge this phone. But im not expecting much. This phone ended up being pretty lackluster all around
Would love to hear your explanation why
You didn't hear?
No glance, no double tap to wake, no microsd, not the best camera on the market, only a quad core processor, only 2GB of Ram, and it doesn't make my breakfast.
Seriously though, I didn't expect microsd coming from VZW, glance is a bit disappointing as I love it, but I think it will come in the future, and people complaining about the camera are basing it off of reviews from people that have had the camera for 10 minutes and don't know the difference between digital and optical zoom.
It doesn't have the best camera because nokia put a 41 megapixel beast on the market. Find me a phone in the U.S that has something more than a quad core. The LG G pro 2 phablet that just got announced has an 800 and 3gb of ram. Its not like other phones are running around with octacores and 6gb of ram. And your forgetting that the windows phone operating system is much lighter than android. Look at the S4, top notch specs and people still complain about the laginess and a bunch of other problems, the 928 had measly specs in comparison and it runs much smoother.
Hmmm, must have missed my sarcasm?
I was coming up with the lame excuse that the haters might come up with or the people throwing the word 'dealbreaker' around left and right.
I think we are in complete agreement.
It is the second best cameraphone on the market (only to the 1020) and it has the top specs.
Yea that totally flew right over my head!
Anyways, I'm just going to post this in response to all the ICON video samples making their way around youtube. I'm gonna call BS because the video I attached is from my 928 shooting 1080. Theres not a single ounce of lag (besides what youtube causes). Go to ~2:00 (Make sure you put it on 1080) to see how well it handles everything going crazy. I have no doubt in my mind that the ICON will blow people away with its video recording. I get so many questions on my channel about what camera I use, theyre blow away by the fact that its a phone. I also can say with a good amount of certainty that noone had a better recording of the audio.
Remember that there's a hump in place for the camera on the 1520, while on the Icon there is none. I think if they would have attempted to change out for a bigger lens, it would have created the need to hump this out too. I'm personally pretty glad they didn't, as this camera should be more than adequate for a novice like me.
Icon bashing? This is not your baby. If the phone is disappointing it is ok to call it out. Just because it is the best windows phone available does not make it up to par wit the rest of the 2014 field.
"Horrible camera"??
There's seriously no pleasing people on this board. Reviews rate it as the best smartphone camera shy of the 1020 and it's now "horrible" and a "Deal breaker"
This isn't yours as well so you can't call it out. Reviews are a way for people to know what to expect but from my experience, mileage will always vary. They say the Lumia 920 had horrible battery life but when I got it it's actually twice as long as my previous iPhone 5.
You guys do have 30 day return policy for items you didn't like right? Well why don't you try it out and use that privilege instead? You guys are very lucky to have a privilege like that, in our country we can't do that. We can only return an item if it is defective not if we didn't like it. 30 days is a long *** time to know whether it's a keeper or not. If you didn't like it then return it. It's really better to try it yourself.
