Łukasz Kotkowski A high end Xperia, I was disappointed about the support, the fluidity, and about everything except the design. Then I boughta Lumia920 and it blew my mind, super smooth, great camera, very solid, great support, and WP in general is really a beautiful and smooth experience. In terms of apps, it now has a lot more than in the beginning of WP, and has about everything you want.. Sometimes it's not an official app, but it's most of the time well made :)

Łukasz Kotkowski It's definitely a shame developers aren't trying hard on WP platform. However, I can say that MS has messed up the development community making it harder to get developers. They kinda shot themselves in the foot. WP is getting apps though, just too slow for the marketplace to notice.

Well the widgets aren't static. I in fact like the look of Windows Phone but hate the lack of functionality. Basically I like the look but not what's under the hood.

After having and using both, Still have to go with the Lumia Icon, It is almost as good and in some ways better than my #1 phone of all time the 1520. Looking forward to AT&T finally unlocking those damn phones so I can use it on TMobile and Ill keep the ICON for verizon. The difference here is simple, Build quality and experience vs gimmicks. While the S5 is a powerhouse and I LOVE THE CAMERA.... Sadly the 1 second lags between magazine and tasks ads up and drove me F***ing crazy. I ended up going with the HTC One M8 as my Android phone and also use the Lumia Icon being I carry two phones. Great comparison and while the S5 camera looks close....... Its not really there yet.

If I was looking for a new smartphone right now, I would surely buy the Nokia. The S5's specs are impressive as always, but the way all Galaxy S's utilised them in their rather poor design and their circus-like Android implementations were always a big turn-off for me. On the other hand, I always wanted to have a Windows phone (apart from one I had back in 2004!), and I was always a big fan of the Nokia Lumia camera philosophy and hardware.

Other than that, it's a matter of personal preference whether you like Android or Windows more. Nowadays, Windows Phone has come a long way and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it. It has a different, much more classy interface than Android, and the apps should be something like 300,000 already...

If someone already has had an Android phone in the past, the differences against Windows become even more pronounced. I think it's an easier decision to choose Windows once you've had a good taste of Android for some months.

Previously I were dying to have the notification center in WP but after I got it in 8.1, I only realized that what's the live tiles exactly meant for me. The notification is useful in 8.1 of course. I had Anroid and WP but obviously WP is my daily drive right now. Hope both of the OS is getting stronger and it is advantage for consumers.

Cryengine doesn't lose every category I guess your forgetting design also screen size isn't a category idiot it matters of the quality of the screen no the size. Wow .1in. Bigger so much of a difference. I'd rather have a realistic looking screen then the cartoonist looking screen and UI on the GS5 and that's another thing the GS5 loses to the One on Software. The One has much better software that has nicely baked in features for Sense 6 while the GS5 software is congested, still ugly, and most of the stuff are still have baked *cough * *cough* My Magazine. And On-screen software keys can go away unlike the extremely bright hardware keys on the GS5 wasting unneeded battery. I know you didn't just say the fingerprint scanner is a great feature.lol Dont make me laugh anymore. That have baked poorly thought out fingerprint sensor can't even be used in one hand easily without even dropping the damn phone.lol Pretty much your entire argument is invalid sir. And btw some news sources say that One has a much better battery life than the S5 due to standby time. And considering the S5 only has slightly bigger screen than the One with a much bigger battery *by 300mAh* you would think that the differentiation on those 2's batteries would be much different but its not because Samsung put piss poor power management in that phone with the only exception being extreme power saving mode.

Michael is easily the best phone reviewer on KZread right now. He is so fair and does more than just Android phones. I've seen people fan boy so much they make allowances for an off element in one device then bash it on another like it's worst thing ever. He never does that. What bothers him consistent in all divices.

I think Windows Phone 8.1 looks way better than Android. It's different and the background on the metro system looks so cool!

I am an Android guy but I would go with the Icon

Maybe samsung's owner has a personal issue with metals. Maybe he's got hit on head by metal. He will never use any metal in the fucking phone.

Lars Reviews if they would have gone with android, they had to compete with Samsung, HTC, LG, Sony and Motorola. Google didn't care about Nokia either. Nokia was in financial trouble when Microsoft came to them knocking. Microsoft was the only company willing to bale them out. Microsoft took care of everything for Nokia. They did the advertisement. They took care of the patents and other things. But things didn't work out quiet well for Nokia so know it is being sold to Microsoft, but they wouldn't even last if they had gone with Android, which means the company that is being sold for 7.2 bil would be sold for much much less than that.

Nokia didn't opt for the Android Route like the other companies did well it was a BOLD Decision.If Nokia would had opted for Android as its Primary Os it would be the *King of SMARTPHONES*. A Lumia 920 running android would had brought Pureview technology & many other software based suppport & apps at risk as Android is an open project and any manufacturer's app can be sideloaded or installed on other OEM's phone running the same Os. Best example : Google it "Lg g2 & many other android phones running NOKIA MIX RADIO which was only intended for NOKIA X"( Forked version of android). I wish NOKIA will be the KING as it was before ANDROID. See ya NOKIA again in 2024(NOKIA & Microsoft is for 10 years) :)

Thanks for the review, I'm looking for an upgrade and had these two phone in mind. I wanted to checkout the ICON merely because I wanted to try out the Windows phone. But looking at reviews and specs, and this video review, I think I am siding on the Galaxy. I want more photography options when taking photos when I don't have a DSLR handy. Thanks again for the review. and also caught the home alone reference.

regardless of the platform, i would never spend money on a crappy piece of plastic. i've yet to see one s4 where the chrome hasn't worn off and the phone has held up to the test of time. Nokia everytime for me.

Nokia for the win

Great review as always Michael, keep them coming.

Does the 930 (icon) heat up ? My 920 heats up very quick.

i switched to windows phone from android and guess windows phone smoothes is greater than android's one.

7:10 heheh them effects! nice video, honestly both phones are quite capable, but the Lumia looks so much nicer!!

Pocketnow would you please do a comparison video between the galaxy S5 and the experia z1 compact or the z2

This was a great episode and the hosts voice is dramatic yet not to corney. 👍

Wow I have to admit that Lumia Icon is beautiful!

Anyone who doesn't click the like button on a Michael Fisher video lives in a house with no windows and comes from a sad whale family.

Great review & comparison Mr.Fisher your channel is the place I look to for fair and unbiased reviews. I just received an icon and installed w8.1. Love the look and feel of this phone. Samsung has been my go to phone for a couple of years now, s2 , s3, Note 3 on various carrier's. But I've been in need of a change from the android ecosystem. I in my own opinion think windows phones will be a real contender in the future. Microsoft didn't invest all the money for to sit on the side lines... anyway looking forward to the next video..Cheers

Michael you've been working your butt off. Every video in the last 3 weeks I've watched from Pocketnow has been one of yours. Must only sleep to test the Gear fit

I've been using android my whole life (using the M8 now) . But lately I've been leaning towards the Lumia series. Next phone just might be a windows phone

Big time android fan, and then I tried a lumia 928. I bought it used for like $200 on ebay. The camera during night time was easily the best and trumped any non lumia phone. Plus its standby battery and system efficiency blew Android out of the water. But the lack of google apps (youtube, google maps, google drive, google music,) plus the inability for MS to get their strategy together and actually implement cross platform meant the Windows Phone was lacking serious app support. I was often left embarrassed because I couldnt use popular apps that iphone/android users could. So I had to sell and come back to android. Good things about android is the different manufacturers. Like this Galaxy offers water proof features and IR blaster and heart rate monitor and fingerprint scan. While i feel Lumia line barely has any differences between models. Like I dont see why anyone would want a 930 over a 928 that is half the price. In fact the 928 had better xenon flash. Both versions run WP8 the same. Glad to see HTC is jumping in the WP game again. Maybe they can add some spice to windows phones

Good comparison as I prefer Nokia because I'm a Nokia fan and also like to support an underdog OS. I don't like Samsung phone because of their skin and quality of the build quality. I cannot and don't want to rant about how bad Samsung's build quality is but I understand why they do it. By making it so cheap Samsung can produce large number of phones at a short time frame., but IMO quality matters. With Windows phone 8.1 Microsoft has grown up and like to see where they go from here. So I'm supporting Nokia :-)

LUMIA icon rocks. We have seen what a dual core windows phone with 1 GB RAM can do. Just imagine the amount of power we get with 2 GB RAM and quad core processor on Win phone!! Plus the clear black technology makes the screen looks more vibrant. Play a video on it and you will know. Play GTA on both the devices and you will know. Galaxy is a fancy device with bits and pieces copied from many other smartphones like Lenovo's water proof mobiles, iPhone's fingerprint sensor, optical stabilization from Nokia etc. Where as Lumia icon is for those who wants to get their work done in smarter way through outlook express, office, one note, HERE maps, HERE drive, Smart cam and many more useful software.

i really want a lumia icon, i just beautiful

This is the first time that I see a fair and neutral review for 2 GREAT products; normally when I search/see comparison videos, they either don't show all of the main features that the product has to offer or it is done by a fan boy. I have been a Nokia user for quite a while, then I changed to Apple and came back to Nokia; the phone/platform that I have suits my needs and I think that's what you need to take in consideration when you plan to buy any piece of technology, oh and another thing, it's JUST a phone, it's unfair to judge a human being just because he prefers a brand over the other, it's like judging someone for liking better Vanilla Ice Cream over Chocolate...Job very well done! You have a new subscriber!

@rajifusama yes, but it only lags when switched on

Awrr, I wanted to buy 930 as soon as it comes out so badly, but I need an android device, since WP doesn't support google services, which I'm bound to use at work. Even gmail synchronisation is a drag. But the 930/Icon is such a great device...

sorry, there's no such thing as nokia phone. surprisingly though, i would choose the icon.

I sincerely hope that any newer videos include this often unspoken feature that windows phones have. It is NOT a default feature however. By going into settings, selecting "Touch" and and pressing 'on' for 'wake up' you will be able to wake up the phone by simply double tapping the screen. This is a handy feature in some LG smartphones, but it is often overlooked for windows phones. Take a look sometime and please include it in any comparison videos in the future.

Mike, a hard choice between the 2 especially with the new updates here know which are windows phone 8.1 and droid 4.4.2 . I think I would go with the windows phone because I do not like Samsung because their phones are cheaply made but the S5 makes a compeling case but between the Nokia and HTC M ONE 8 I would really haft to flip a coin or something.

Will this ever be available for AT&T???

the s5 is shit, the skin of it is untolerable, windows phone is much better than Samsung's skin. android is better but Samsung ruins the android experience on their devices.

Lumia for me , thanks. Samsung it's very ugly ugly ugly ugly and bad materials...

I purchased the Icon when it first came out and this is one solid device. Even though I was with Android since the beginning, having a Windows phone is a refreshing change. The OS is really smooth and elegant and it just plain works with hardly any issues. Dare I say this but it seems like MS borrowed a bit of the buttoned-down efficiency of Apple with a smidgen of Android customization. It really works well.

Great comparison Michael...

I love the line from Home Alone 2 at the end.

I have a Samsung Galaxy S5 and a samsung galaxy round. I also have a LG G Flex and a Nokia Icon. They all work great. With the icon, I watch any movie I want, for free. Windows has a special app that lets you watch any movie or show hd for free.

Thank you Michael for the front reminder that Icon can be loosely referred to 930. It helps a lot for me outside US.

You know, that Nokia Lumia Icon focus the microphone to where you pointing the camera right?

Please do GS5 vs 1020 camera comparasion

Enjoyed your comparison

Watching this in 2021 Michael Fischer sounds exactly the same today and hasn't changed a bit!

I've been heavily leaning towards the Galaxy Note 4 sometime in a couple of months, but that doesn't mean I don't like a Windows phone. I would love to try it out, but to own one for a long period of time, I will just have to go with the Note 4. Only because you should be able to switch out the battery, and on top of that, I can still get the Windows experience on my Galaxy note with a Windows Phone 8 launcher. Currently I have the Note 2, and it is absolutely the best phone I've bought in years. So when the Note 4 comes out, it should be one gigantic upgrade. Possibly a 5.9" Amoled display, water resistant, and microsd card expansion.

The bloopers scene at the end of the video. epic stuff (Y)

i ordered the nokia today but I'm almost regretting it now.. i do a ton of snowboarding and water sports galore. a waterproof phone would be sick. but i do spin a ton of fire and the nokias slow shutter low light camera would be nice….. decisions decisions… can i make the lumia waterproof lol?

Man, I so want to move to WP. I was on iOS, switch to Android for the past 2 years. WP looks exactly what I want from a phone. Smooth, fast, simple yet with all the right information as soon as you unlock the device. The only problem is, the one app that I need for work (I'm a musician), is not available. The app is iReal Pro. If this app comes to WP I'm switching in a heartbeat. Anyone know if it's possible to emulate the app on WP?

Bought a S5 for my mother. Its easy mode includes many features friendly to senior people. I am able to use super large fonts and there is even a magnifier on the home screen.
