In this article we are going to make the comparison between the Nokia Lumia 925 and the Samsung Glaxy S3. The first of them, with Windows Phone 8 as the operating system, has a price of € 375 in the market, so we can place it in the upper-middle range of Smartphones. The Samsung Galaxy S3, with a fairly similar price, approximately € 350, has Android 4.0 Ice Cream as the operating system.

Technical characteristics

The first thing to analyze, the screen of both Smartphones. The Samsung Galaxy S3 is 4.8 inches with a resolution of 720 × 1280 pixels and Super AMOLED capacitive touchscreen. The Nokia Lumia 925's screen, quite similar in size, is 4.5 inches with a resolution that is also quite similar at 768 × 1280 pixels. Therefore, as you can see, the screen differences of both mobile phones are small.

As for the internal memory, the Nokia Lumia 925 has 16 GB of ROM and 1 GB of RAM. Of course, it does not have a card slot, a point to keep in mind when buying the Smartphone. The Samsung Galaxy S3 has three models on the market: One with 16 GB of internal memory, another with 32 GB and a last one for those more demanding users with 64 GB of ROM. The RAM is 1 GB in any case and this mobile phone does support a microSD memory card of up to 64 GB.

The rear camera of the Samsung Galaxy S3 is 8 megapixels with a resolution of 3264 × 2448 pixels, which is more than enough for those average users since it also has some features such as autofocus, LED flash or face detector and smile. It also records video with 1080p resolution. The front camera of the Samsung Galaxy S3 is 1.9 megapixels. Regarding the Nokia Lumia 925, its rear camera is also 8 megapixels and its resolution is exactly the same: 3264 × 2448 pixels. It also records video at 720 resolution. The Nokia Lumia 925's front camera is 1.2 megapixels. Therefore, we can say that the rear cameras of both Smartphones are practically the same.

There is not much difference in the battery either. The one of the Samsung Galaxy S3 has a capacity of 2100 mAh and the one of the Nokia Lumia 925, 2000 mAh. Thus, both last in Stand-by approximately 500 hours.
