Which is better: "Nokia" or "Samsung" - for today?

Comparing the specifications and specifications of the flagship models 1520 and I9500, we can conclude that it's better: "Nokia" or "Samsung". They are located in the same price range. But the technical indicators they differ. By analyzing their advantages and disadvantages, you can choose the optimal solution.

«Nokia 1520 »

To answer the question about what is better: "Nokia" or "Samsung?" - let's start with the representative of the first company. The 1520 is based on Qualcomm's high-performance Snapdragon 800 processor. It is equipped with 4 cores operating at 2.2 GHz. The graphical accelerator Adreno 330 is used to display graphic information. The screen diagonal is 6 inches (in essence it is a mini-tablet), and its resolution is 1920 by 1080 pixels (that is, the picture is in HD quality). The matrix itself is based on IPS technology. The memory subsystem of 1520 is simply fantastic! Operative it has 2 GB, built-in - 32 GB. Also there is an expansion slot with support for micro SD up to 64 GB. This surprises do not end there. The main camera is 20 megapixels. Supports recording in HD with a resolution of 1920 by 1080 pixels. There is a second 1.3 MP camera for communicating in skype. Among the communications there is everything, except the infrared port. But today they can be met quite rarely, so this can not be called a defect. All this works under the management of "Windows 8". Also there is support for all possible networks: GSM, 3G and LTE. In addition, the device is equipped with an ultra-high capacity battery for 3400 mAh. With a non-intensive load, it will last for 2-3 days, which is an excellent indicator for a smartphone of this size.

Samsung I 9500

To finally determine what is best: "Nokia" or "Samsung" - we will give the characteristics of the model of the second manufacturer. The heart of the I9500 is the Octa 5410 CPU of the Exynos 5 lineup. This is Samsung's own development. It contains 8 cores, of which only 4 can work simultaneously. In this case, 4 cores are built on the architecture of A15, and the rest - on A7. When the load is serious, the first of them are switched on, and in the normal mode, the latter. This allows you to more efficiently use the battery life without losing performance. The graphic subsystem in it is realized with the help of the 544 MP3 line of PowerVR. The screen diagonal is 5 inches with the same resolution and quality. The very same matrix is made on the basis of Super AMOLED technology. RAM - all the same 2 GB, but the amount of built-in can vary. There are models with 16, 32 and 64 GB. Also supports memory cards up to 64 GB. The main camera of the Samsung I9500 is 13 Mp, but for skype - 2 Mp. The communication kit is similar to the 1520, except that an infrared port has been added. There is a smartphone from Samsung running Android 4.2. Among the obvious shortcomings can be noted the lack of LTE, and all other types of networks are supported. The battery is weaker - 2600 mAh.

Compare

We will decide what is better: Samsung-Galaxy or Nokia-Lumiya (these devices belong to these model series). In principle, the hardware component of them is identical. The processors show similar results in the tests. With a screen resolution, the situation is similar - for both HD devices with a resolution of 1920 by 1080 pixels. The memory subsystem of the I9500 is slightly better at the expense of the 64 GB "on-board" model. But this plus is not so important. But the camera is definitely better at Nokia, and here you can not argue (20 Mp against 13 Mp). In addition to this, the screen is a whole inch bigger. Also, the battery is more capacious, which means that it is able to work autonomously longer. All these advantages would allow to give an unambiguous answer to the question of what is better: "Nokia" or "Samsung" - if not for one "but". "Windows 8" is a specific operating system. It has not yet become widespread. But if this is not critical for you, then it's better to choose a Finnish smartphone. But for those who need "Android" - Samsung I9500.

Summary

If you compare the phones Samsung and Nokia, described in this material, then we can conclude that the Finnish device has a number of advantages and one significant drawback, which is the use of a small-scale operating system. If for you it is not important, then the choice is obvious - 1520. And in all other cases it is better to buy the I9500.
