Comparing the specifications and specifications of the flagship models 1520 and I9500, we can conclude which is better: Nokia or Samsung. They are located in the same price range. But their technical indicators are different. By analyzing their advantages and disadvantages, you can choose the best solution.
Nokia 1520
To give an answer to the question of which is better: Nokia or Samsung?, Let's start with a representative of the first company. Model 1520 is based on Qualcomm's high-performance Snapdragon 800 processor. It has 4 cores running at 2.2 GHz. To display graphic information, the Adreno 330 graphics accelerator is used. It has a screen diagonal of 6 inches (essentially 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 the 1520 is simply fantastic! She has 2 GB of RAM, built-in - 32 GB. There is also an expansion slot with micro-SD support up to 64 GB. The surprises don't end there. Her main cameraat 20 MP. Recording in HD format with a resolution of 1920 by 1080 pixels is supported. There is a second camera of 1.3 megapixels for chatting on Skype. Among the communications there is everything, except for the infrared port. But today they can be found quite rarely, so this cannot be called a disadvantage. All this works under the control of Windows 8. There is also support for all possible networks: GSM, 3G and LTE. In addition to this, the device is equipped with a super-capacious 3400 mAh battery. With a light load, it will last for 2-3 days, which is an excellent indicator for a smartphone of this size.
Samsung I9500
To finally decide which is better: "Nokia" or "Samsung" - let's give the characteristics of the model of the second manufacturer. The heart of the I9500 is the Octa 5410 Exynos 5 CPU. This is Samsung's own design. It contains 8 cores, of which only 4 can work at the same time. At the same time, 4 cores are built on the A15 architecture, and the rest - on the A7. With a serious load, the first of them are included in the work, and in the normal mode - the second. This allows for more efficient use of battery life without sacrificing performance. The graphic subsystem in it is implemented with the help of 544 MP3 of the PowerVR line. Screen diagonal - 5 inches with the same resolution and quality. The matrix itself is made on the basis of Super AMOLED technology. RAM - all the same 2 GB, but the amount of built-in memory can vary. There are models with 16, 32 and 64 GB. Memory cards up to 64 GB are also supported. The main camera of the Samsung I9500 is 13 megapixels, but for Skype it is 2 megapixels. The communication set is the same as the 1520, except that an infrared port has been added. Works smartphone from Samsung running Android 4.2. Among the obvious shortcomings, one can note the lack of LTE, and all other types of networks are supported. Its battery is weaker - 2600 mAh.
Compare
Let's decide which is better: Samsung Galaxy or Nokia Lumiya (the described devices belong to these lineups). In principle, the hardware component of them is identical. Processors show similar results in tests. With the screen resolution, the situation is similar - both devices have HD with a resolution of 1920 by 1080 pixels. The memory subsystem of the I9500 is slightly better due to the model with 64 GB "on board". But this plus is not so important. But the camera is definitely better with Nokia, and you can’t argue here (20 megapixels versus 13 megapixels). In addition to this, the screen is a full inch larger. Also, the battery is more capacious, which means that it is able to work autonomously for a longer time. All these pluses would make it possible to give an unambiguous answer to the question of which is better: Nokia or Samsung, if not for one “but”. Windows 8 is a specific operating system. It hasn't gained much popularity yet. But if this is not critical for you, then it is better to choose a Finnish smartphone. But for those who need "Android" - Samsung I9500.
CV
If we compare the Samsung and Nokia phones described in this material, we can conclude that the Finnish device has a number ofadvantages and one significant drawback, which is the use of an uncommon operating system. If this is not important for you, then the choice is obvious - 1520. And in all other cases, it is better to buy I9500.
