Video: Nokia Lumia 920 vs Samsung Galaxy SIV
Check out this 11 minuteside by side comparison between the (now 6 month old as reviewer points out) Nokia Lumia 920 and Samsung Galaxy S4.
I was surprised at the intro when I heard the reviewer mention some downsides of both phones that even with all that heft of processing power in the SGS4, it is still branded as “a bit sluggish”. Sluggish?! Octa core stuttering vs dual core…hmm…
The SGS4 picks up some Nokia Lumia 920 qualities (sensitive screen, lenses like cinemagraph and the multiaction one and wireless charging though not out of the box) and adds a few ‘features’ of their own (some of which are gimmicky and still need better implementation like hover gesture, eye scrolling – though I do like the video pausing when you look away). Note, these gestures, however they’re implemented remind me of those really ancient front-facing camera gestures from old Symbian phones, no? (I forget the name of the app).
Apparently the difference between 1080p (5″ pentile AMOLED and 720p (4.5″ LCD )is not noticeable. The design is favoured on the lumia, nicer, also more robust, but they don’t like the weight (vs the lighter, but flimsier plastic ‘dated’ SGS4).
p.s. when can we have notification LEDs again please? Also do we want infra red back? What about thermometers? ;p (maybe not the last one)
