cameras are becoming one of the most important features of a smartphone is not a mystery. From the time of Philippe Kahn or the Sharp J-SH04 (256 colors, 0.11 megapixel) technology has been refined to to afford to capture on phone shots comparable to those of a compact camera. And despite Nokia Lumia 1020 and Samsung Galaxy S4 Zoom are the last links of this chain of evolution, could not be more different.
What differentiates them is simple: to carry out operations zoom and capture images from the precise color performance, the device of Nokia uses a sensor on the amount of pixels exaggerated (as many as 41 million), while Samsung relies on a more classic model with 16 megapixels 10x optical zoom supported by . These two approaches are reflected on every other aspect of smartphones.
One of these is clutter . Lumia 1020 is not a sample of pocketability, but with a little effort you let slip even in jeans. You can not say the same instead of the zoom, which in the body and is much more similar in size to a compact camera to a smartphone. And also the use of telephony features, it is more practical the Finnish : the bulge back home to the optical sensor and interferes less with the fingers holding the smartphone compared to what happens with the aim of S4 Zoom.
The advantage of
Lumia 1020, however, thins when you start taking pictures. The handle of the Korean smartphone makes it more familiar to use as a camera and ensures a firm grip and more accurate shots. 10x optical zoom and is unsurpassed in the shots in the distance: you do make a half turn to the lens ring and you’re already looking at your subject straight in the eye even at several meters away.
In contrast, the 1020 ensures no loss of detail magnification up to 6x and no moving parts : It is not at the level of the competitor, but proves to be much lighter and more agile Samsung. The ability to capture the image and then decide where to zoom is also a great added value, which allows you to create multiple compositions from the same shoot.
Removed the zoom issue from the equation, the scales tipped back more decidedly in favor of Lumia 1020. When the magnification is equal to zero, in fact, the 41 Megapixel sensor Nokia are combined to create a more accurate picture of the color information than the competitor, even in low light conditions. And from the point of view of the interface, even if the smartphone Samsung has on his side a host of preset programs , the screen of the Nokia commands are easier to use even in manual control of the parameters.
does not live by optical and sun-megapixel however, the two hybrids are especially smartphones . And even in this are completely different: the Finnish mounts Windows Phone 8, the Korean Android 4.2.2. The differences between the two operating systems are known, here applies only worth remembering not just a detail: the operating system from Redmond is still characterized by an ecosystem not necessarily of lower quality, but it offers less choice than the opponent. For example, the app editing and sharing photos and videos on Android are dozens of alternatives in more than what you can find on the Windows Store.
Galaxy S4 Zoom in a few words is more flexible : Snapseed is one of the best photo editing software available for free on Play Store, but Android also offers file manager to copy and move nimbly shots; and slot for microSD cards of the product is entirely missing in the Korean Lumia 1020. The latter on the other hand is perhaps a less versatile device, but definitely more streamlined and convenient to use . The images it captures are the best in the smartphone landscape, and the lighter weight is a benefit that can be appreciated even after a few minutes of use.sheets.
