Comparison: xiaomi mi3 vs nokia lumia 1020

On this occasion, we will analyze in detail one of the members of the Lumia family, the Nokia 1020, which we will face against our Xiaomi Mi3, the Chinese fashion model. These smartphones have excellent features, especially if we refer to their cameras, especially the Nokia. At the end of the article we will check if their amounts are adjusted correctly to their characteristics, and if they are in direct proportion between one terminal and the other. We begin:

Designs: The Xiaomi Mi3 has a smaller size of 114 mm high x 72 mm wide x 8.1 mm thick, compared to 130.4 mm high × 71.4 × 10.4 mm thick. Lumia 1020. As for their casings, we can say that the Chinese model is made of an aluminum-magnesium alloy, which allows an ultra-thin design. It also has a graphite thermal film that achieves better heat dissipation. The Nokia has a body made of a single piece of polycarbonate, presenting a perfect union, which gives it great robustness. We can find it available in white, black and yellow.

Screens: The Chinese model presents a large 5-inch ultra-sensitive IPS screen with Full HD resolution 1920 x 1080 pixels, while the Nokia Lumia 1020 is accompanied by a super-sensitive that has a size of 4.5 inches AMOLED , for which is brighter and consumes less energy. Your resolution It is 1280 x 768 pixels, giving it a density of 334 pixels per inch. It has Clear Black technology, which allows perfect visibility even in sunlight. To all this we can add that the Xiaomi and the Lumia have Gorilla Glass and Gorilla Glass 3 protection, respectively.

Camera: in this aspect there is no discussion; The good 13-megapixel Sony Exmor RS sensor and its dual Philips LED flash, which improves the brightness of the Xiaomi by 30%, we know little if we compare it with the 40.1 megapixels that the Lumia has. To this lens we must add that it has Nokia's exclusive PureView technology, it is accompanied by optical image stabilization, six exclusive Carl Zeiss lenses, Xenon and LED flash (for video and as an aid in autofocus), and an incredible real zoom of high resolution, which allows you to zoom in on any part of a photo without losing any quality, as well as being able to apply numerous effects, such as rotating, cropping or modifying as many times as you want. The Chinese model has a backlit front lens and a 2 megapixel wide angle, compared to Nokia's 1.2 megapixels, so it does lose strength in this regard. As for video recordings, the Finnish model makes them in high definition (1080p at 30 fps), with the possibility of being able to enlarge the image up to six times without losing any quality. Its Nokia Rich Recording application allows us to capture very clear and distortion-free audio.

Processors: The Mi 3 presents a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8274AB 4-core 2.3GHz SoC and an Adreno 330 GPU, the best of Qualcomm, which offers us a great visual experience and better performance without sacrificing battery life: better colors, textures and anti-aliasing for your games. The RAM is 2 GB. Its operating system is MIUI v5, based on Android 4.1 and internationally recognized for its high customization, efficiency and stability. The Nokia Lumia 1020 meanwhile has a CPU from the same manufacturer, Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 dual-core 1.5 GHz and an Adreno 225 graphics chip. It is also accompanied by a 2 GB RAM memory and brings Windows Phone 8 as an operating system.

Batteries: The 2000 mAh that protect the Lumia is far from living up to the 3050 mAh of capacity that comes with the Xiaomi. Their autonomies will be remarkable, especially that of the Chinese smartphone, although it will also depend on the handling we give to the terminal.

Connectivity: In addition to the more basic connections we are used to, such as 3G, WiFi, Bluetooth 4.0 or NFC, the Lumia 1020 offers LTE / 4G support .

Internal Memories: both the Nokia and the Xiaomi have a 64 GB terminal for sale, although they also have another one with a different ROM, 16 GB in the case of the Mi3 and 32 GB if we talk about the Lumia. Neither phone has a microSD card slot, but the Finnish model has free 7GB cloud storage

Availability and price: The general evaluation that we can make of the Xiaomi Mi3 is excellent. And is that, taking into account that its price ranges between € 299 for the 16GB model and € 380 for the 64GB model of internal memory, we have a battery and a camera on the phone that we do not find on Smartphone that double the price of East. That it does not have a memory card can put you back a little, but if you opt for the 16 GB model or, if you prefer, for the 64 GB version, you will have enough space to store thousands of photos, songs, programs, movies and series on your Xiaomi Mi3. The Nokia Lumia 1020 is a much more expensive high-end smartphone that has excellent features, especially if we talk about its camera, which makes its cost skyrocket, making it inaccessible for most people. Whoever can get it will find it in black and free for 549 euros on the pccomponentes website.
