Comparison: nokia lumia 1020 vs samsung galaxy s4

Our new candidate to face our Nokia Lumia 1020 is none other than Samsung's flagship, the Galaxy S4. As we did with the S3, now is the time for the older brother of the family to get into our private ring and fight in some way against this colossal model of the Lumia. It is a smartphone that contains excellent features that have nothing to envy other devices in its range. Be very attentive with this new comparison and perhaps we will see if these devices can compensate or not their quality with the footprint they leave in our pocket. Do not lose detail:

Screens: From the Lumia 1020 we have a super-sensitive that has a size of 4.5 inches AMOLED and with ClearBlack , which makes it brighter, perfectly readable in sunlight and consumes less energy. Its resolution is 1280 x 768 pixels, giving it a density of 334 pixels per inch. The Samsung Galaxy S4 has an excellent 5 inches Full HD super AMOLED (which is characterized by being brighter, less reflective of the sun and consuming less energy) and a resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels, which translates to a density of 441 dpi. The two terminals use the same accident protection, the glass manufactured by the company Corning Gorilla Glass 3.

Processors: the Nokia for its part presents a Qualcomm Snapdragon ^TM S4 dual-core CPU at 1.5 GHz, while the Samsung Galaxy S4 has a Qualcomm Snapdragon 600 CPU at 1.9 GHz. Its graphics chips are also different: Adreno 225 for the Lumia and Adreno 320 for the S4. Instead, the RAM that accompanies them if it is the same: 2 GB. The operating systems of the Nokia model and that of Samsung are Windows Phone 8 and Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean respectively.

Cameras: They present a big difference, since the Lumia has 41 megapixels, accompanied by an LED flash and Xenon in its main objective, while the Galaxy has an appreciable 13 megapixels, which are accompanied by the autofocus function and an LED flash.. The front cameras of the Nokia and the Samsung have 1.2 megapixels and 2 megapixels respectively, very useful for video conferencing or photography. Both devices are capable of making video recordings in Full HD 1080p quality at 30 fps. The Lumia also has the possibility of enlarging the image up to 6 times without losing quality, not to mention its Nokia Rich Recording application, which provides it with very clear and distortion-free audio.

Connectivity: both devices have connections that we are already more than used to like 3G, WiFi or Bluetooth, although we must add that both offer LTE / 4G support.

Batteries: the capacity of the Samsung is remarkably greater, counting with 2600 mAh compared to the 2000 mAh that the Nokia presents, although the Galaxy, registering more power, presumably its autonomy will be more or less equal to that of the Nokia, but even so it will surely continue for above. We must not forget the handling we give to the smartphone, since the fact of using it for games, videos or the type of connection, etc., will directly affect it.

Internal memories: the two terminals coincide in having two models on the market that have the same ROM capacity, such as one of 32 GB and the other of 64 GB. However, in the case of Samsung, we must add a third of 16 GB. In addition we must highlight that the Galaxy has a microSD slot for cards up to 64 GB and the Lumia with a free 7 GB 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 has great robustness thanks to the perfect union between the front and the back, constituting a single piece made of polycarbonate. We have it available in yellow, white and black. The Samsung for its part has a size of 136.6 mm high × 69.8 mm wide × 7.9 mm thick and weighs 130 grams. It has a resistant plastic finish (polycarbonate).

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 S4 is currently sold for more than 400 euros (available on the pccomponentes website for 449 or 499 euros depending on its internal memory, color, if it is a free terminal, etc.). It is a smartphone that has excellent characteristics but is also unfortunately not within the reach of the public.
