The Galaxy A02s body is noticeably newer and just a little thinner than Lumia Icon's, but it is heavier. The Lumia Icon features a way better screen than Galaxy A02s, because although it has a much smaller display, it also counts with a better resolution of 1920 x 1080px and a much better number of pixels per inch in the screen.
Samsung Galaxy A02s counts with a much bigger storage capacity to install applications and games or saving photos and videos than Lumia Icon, and although they both have the same 32 GB internal memory capacity, the Samsung Galaxy A02s also has an external memory slot that admits a maximum of 1 TB. The Nokia Lumia Icon counts with a bit better processing power than Samsung Galaxy A02s, because although it has 1 GB less RAM memory and an inferior number of cores (although they are faster), it also counts with a graphics processor.
The Lumia Icon captures a bit better photographs and videos than Galaxy A02s, because although it has a tinier aperture which is not favorable for capturing photographs and/or video in low-light environments, and they both have the same video resolution and the same video frame rate, the Lumia Icon also counts with a much higher 20 mega pixels resolution back-facing camera.
The Samsung Galaxy A02s has a very superior battery duration than Nokia Lumia Icon, because it has 5000mAh of battery capacity.
Despite of being the best phone of the ones we are comparing, the Samsung Galaxy A02s is also a bargain compared to the other phones.
