Quick Comparison: Nokia Lumia 920 trumps Samsung’s SGSIII in low light without flash and more sensitive screen
I didn’t realise there were other videos by Eugen when comparing the 920 aginst the SGSIII. Cheers nabin and Eugen for the heads up.
This is just a quick comparison and not a thorough definitive test.
In the first video, we see what appears to be a very dark scene (could have been made worse by the camera recording it not being very good in low light).
I’m stunned by the SGSIII as it actually managed to pull out a picture.
Here’s a Nokia.
This is a test just demonstrating how much more light a 920 picks up on its own without flash. Obviously if it was this dark, you would turn flash on.
However, there are situations where flash is neither allowed, appropriate or sufficient for the job. Flash may light up objects within 3 metres, but beyond that, they will not be lit. What if you wanted to have a nice backdrop in the night? Sometimes the flash is too harsh. DSLR’s can sort of get around this with controlled flash levels, directional flash, remote flash and diffusers. You’re very limited with an onboard compact flash in terms of the direct in your face look. Situations where flash might not be allowed – you may not want to cause distraction or it might be prohibited.
You won’t have an option to use a faster lens, but you can turn up the ISO. This does come at a cost of more noise, but it does mean you reduce the blur from a longer shutter speed. However, if you can reduce the blur with OIS, you may be able to shoot at a lower ISO but obtain more light. I’m interested to see what pictures in highest ISO with OIS activated in the 920.
The next video is a screen test. You should be able to use any tool on the 920′s super sensitive screen.
Here you can see both cloth and pen in action. A regular pen would be great for drawing (versus those crappy bouncy styluses for capacitive displays).

SGIII is probably in night mode which is less convenient that ‘pull-out-and-shoot’ that Lumia 920 offers. And even then, 920 is better. Awesome.
Some might say the result is obvious and the test is unfair.
The point of these tests is just to show you that PureView phase 2 does indeed work.
For actual picture quality tests and definitive conclusions, we will need to have reviews and rigorous photo shoot tests. For now, this is just an early indication of future results.
2nd video doesn’t work. and you can clearly see a big van parked on the little chair to the right.it’s fake promotion all over again
+1 hahahaha:D
unfortunate most likely mass public may still prefer to buy SGSIII rather than Lumia 920, no matter how many blog try to give positive image about 920. General public still felt Nokia is outdated and old fashion, and most of the user is from older generation or just some tech user.
Many people repeat the previous royal Symbian user altitude, ie ego about how superior the technical spec of Symbian compared to other OS.
IMO, Nokia’s hardware is quite competitive now, but the OS needs to generate better public image. Fluid UI is not enough to attract general mass public, it must be beautifully design UI and acceptable to most of the user, not controversial UI !!
Absolutely clueless it seems, amusing read nonetheless…
2nd video posted doesnt work. i want to see the lumia 920 screen in action. toothpick stylus please!!!!!
Wow at the last video. Is there any evidence of the Lumia 920 working with a basic plastic stylus or fingernails? Because that really would be a big deal.
For that matter, did it end up being true that one or two of the new Asha phones has something like an ultra-sensitive resistive screen that supported multitouch? I could never find a clear answer to this, but if it’s true I’m almost inclined to get one just for use as a pocket web-browser at home, rather than use a tablet.
Point is, a screen with the benefits of both resistive and capacitive screens would be a pretty awesome thing to have. Capacitive screens as we know them are horribly imprecsise, because you can’t see what’s under your fingertip. Which makes the argument that higher resolutions are good for websites a bit pointless since you have to zoom in lots to navigate through hyperlinks anyway.
Tests and comparisons be damned! Like it’s going to make any difference to me at all.
They had me at Lumia 920….
2nd video Working. 920 is best. i have waited so long good fone. still got e51.
Here I come Nokia Lumia 920!
It’s the time to change my phone (:
P.S.: I have a nokia 2650. And yes, it still works and kicks ass
Is it me or did the video look like it was shot on an 808 Pureview?
I’ve got the galaxy s3, and it works with fingernails (short) and my keys. my n8 works with the thumb of my leather gloves and it also works with my s3.
if only 920 was around in June,I would have considered sticking with Nokia as it looks to be a great phone. couldn’t get the 900 as it was too late for that.
android is good, but not as great as it’s made out to be. I look forward to wp8 when my contract is up again.
