The 20-megapixel PureView camera is the same system found on the 6-inch Lumia 1520. It consists of a six-element Zeiss lens with f/2.4, optical image stabilization and dual LED flash. Up front there is a 2-megapixel camera capable of 720p videos. Nokia Lumia Icon includes four microphones – two on the back and two on the front. Two front-facing microphones are active during calls, while the microphones on the back are used for video recording.

As far as the display, it is an inch smaller than the Lumia 1520, but has the same resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels, resulting in an impressive pixel density of 441ppi.
