Cameras on Smartphones – Nokia Lumia or Samsung?
My Nokia Lumia 920 CAMERA simply ROCKS!
When we talk cameras on Smartphones, I really have to say that although I daily use my Samsung S4 +4G and take photos with it, the Nokia Lumia 920 shines big time in comparison. One for having a physical button to take the snapshots with, which the Samsung and iphone for that matter doesnt. I just took a set of photos of my double espresso coffee cup. And although not unique for Lumia phones in taking sets of images, the stability holding the phone in my hand does. The Lumia is so much more stable to hold. And pressing the button, serioulsy is a greater joy than the Samsung and iphone. For me personally, when I bought my first smartphone, which was the Nokia Lumia 800, I choosed it, in one respect, because of the camera button. I dont have the Lumia 800 anymore, instead have the said Nokia Lumia 920 – and the Samsung S4 +4G.
Illustration & cameras
Being an illustrator, artist and graphic designer by profession, means I take reference photos quite exstensively. I use both Smartphones cameras doing this. And both cameras work fine, but again, that dam Lumia 920 rocks again. What sucks with the Lumia is not the Lumia, it is rather things like the ”never” updated LinkedIn app. And that some app developer UI designers make the graphics user interface to bold, like the Twitter app or LinkedIn app. It is not the camera. It is not the Windows Phone OS, which I like.
When it comes to the camera on a smartphone, it always have to come down to the software used when taking photos, and I just love it on the Lumia. Feel much more ”real” for some reason with the Nokia Lumia.
Okey, if someone only use their smartphone to Pin on Pinterest, or check and post on Facebook, whatsap, Instagram and so on, the camera might not be so important. That icon on the screen might be sufficiant for them and their use. But to me, it wobbles too much. No real stability when you have to hold with one hand and then press an icon on the screen. I sure hope the Lumia phones in the future keep having the camera button, for when I in a few years from now might need to update my phones, and buy another one. Seriously then thinking of another Lumia again.
Have a great weekend
