What app are we talking about here? And where are you looking?
My Android Orbi app (V2.4.21.938) shows an array of icons in the Devices slot. And going in through the Network Map also shows icons.
App Icons
I can't recall jumping through any special hoops to make that happen.
I think the problem the OP is reporting is that when you want to select an icon for the device you’ll only see the different icon options but no description or name for the icon.

In the app, the icon choices probably do not include their text description due to space limitations on a phone screen, although they could have written the app such that it added the text description on the device screen. If you use the web interface for the router, then you will see text descriptions rather than the icon when editing, so use it rather than the app for changing the icons for your devices.
