Comparison: nokia lumia 1020 vs samsung galaxy note 3

This time it is up to a Samsung Grande to face the Lumia 1020. We are talking about the Galaxy Note 3, a smartphone with excellent features that is not available to anyone, just like the Nokia model. Throughout the comparison, each of the specifications that accompany these terminals will be exposed, so that in the end and as always we can see if their quality justifies the amount they ask us to be able to get one of them. In short, to check if its quality / price ratio is good, bad or admissible. Very attentive:

Screens: that of the Lumia 1020 has a size of 4.5 inches AMOLED , which makes it brighter and less consuming, in addition to being accompanied by ClearBlack technology, allowing the screen to be perfectly readable under the light of the Sun. Its resolution is 1280 x 768 pixels, giving it a density of 334 pixels per inch. The Samsung Galaxy Note 3 is equipped with a 5.7-inch super AMOLED screen , which are characterized by having more brightness, reflecting less sunlight and consuming less energy. It has a resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels . The Lumia 1020 uses Corning Gorilla Glass 3 to protect your screen from bumps and scratches.

Processors: Nokia has a 1.5GHz dual-core Qualcomm SnapdragonTM S4 SoC, while the Galaxy Note 3 presents a more powerful CPU although of the same type: Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 quad-core at 2.3 GHz. With its graphics chips the same thing happens: an Adreno 225 GPU accompanies the Lumia, and by the Note 3 We have in mind the Adreno 330, which promises faster processing . The RAM of the Nokia is 2 GB, lower than that of the Galaxy Note, which brings 3 GB. Their operating systems are also different: the Lumia has Windows Phone 8 and Note 3 with Android 4.3 Jelly Bean.

Cameras: from the Lumia we have a 41 megapixel sensor with PureView technology, six Carl Zeiss lenses, optical stabilization, Xenon / LED flash and an incredible high resolution real zoom. The Note 3 features a 13-megapixel primary lens that features autofocus, a CRI LED flash, and Smart Stabilization, which allows you to take high-quality photos even in low light. The front cameras of the Nokia and the Samsung have 1.2 and 2 megapixels respectively. Both terminals make video recordings in Full HD 1080p quality, although the Note 3 is even capable of making them in 4K (3840 x 2160 pixels frame size). To enjoy 100% of this feature we would have to have a monitor capable of displaying such a large number of pixels, like Samsung's UHDs. On the Lumia side we can say that it has an x6 zoom without loss of quality and its Nokia Rich Recording function, which gives it audio without distortion.

Internal memories: the two companies agree on the sale of a model of 32 GB, although in the case of nokia we found another 64 GB . Samsung's smartphone features a microSD card slot of up to 64 GB . The Lumia lacks this feature although it has free 7GB cloud storage .

Designs: the nokia Lumia 1020 has dimensions of 130.4 mm high × 71.4 × 10.4 millimeters thick and weighs 158 grams . Its casing is made up of a perfect union between its front and rear, resulting in a single piece of polycarbonate that gives it great robustness. We have it available in yellow, white and black. The Galaxy Note 3 is 151.2mm high x 79.2mm wide x 8.3mm thick and 168 grams. This model has a rough metallic stripe on the sides that is attached to a plastic casing with a touch similar to leather, and which gives it an elegant appearance.

Connectivity : both devices have basic connections such as 3G , WiFi or Bluetooth , in addition to offering LTE / 4G support .

Batteries : these terminals have very different capacities, containing 3, 200 mAh the Note 3 battery and only 2, 000 mAh accompany the Lumia. In principle we assume that the autonomy of the Samsung model will be much higher, although it is always good to remember that depending on what we play, we play videos or some other function that requires a large energy expenditure, this autonomy will be greater or less, regardless of the capacity..

Prices: the nokia Lumia 1020 is a high-end smartphone with very good features, although it is still very expensive: we can find it in black and free for 562 euros on the website of pccomponentes.com. The Samsung Galaxy Note 3 is a terminal also adapted for unburdened pockets, with its 525 euros, although it may be somewhat cheaper depending on the promotion we choose when buying it. Anyway, it is still something exorbitant for many.
