Forums - Gaming - Nokia Lumia 1020 upstages the Sony Xperia Z1 at Sony’s own launch event

These pictures are as fake as they can get. I have a Nexus 4 and that one has a much weaker camera than the Xperia model discussed here. I take better pictures with my phone than what you see here. So this is just absolute crap.

Someone is making false accusations to make one of the two products look bad. It's easy to take a bad picture with a good phone. Just take it really fast, and with the second one focus very well. Not a surprise to see some jumping aboard this and supporting it without knowing any better!

You need to learn how to read and comprehend what youre reading... pbroy already explained what's going on here few posts back and why the photos look like that.

the Sony Z1 is still a far better phone. the lumia 1020 isnt even close. so this isnt really a big deal.


Please provide the reasoning for this.  Hard to take it serious otherwise.

lumia 2010 vs Z1
dual core 1.5gh . VS quad core snapdragon 800 @2.2 GHZ. not even a contest.

adreno 225 VS adreno 330. again, not even a contest.

720 4.5" screen (332P) vs 5" 1080P (441)

32GB memory, NO card slot. VS 16GB memory with an SD card. a win for the xperia.

Z1 is water resistant and dust proof. the lumia isnt. epic win for the Z1

the lumia has a better camera, but the Z1 isnt bad by any means. however the Z1 is an easily better phone. no need to provide any reasoning for this as it cant be more obvious. anyways, wont get into a huge debate about this as i simply dont care that much. so if you do reply to me dont expect a reply back honestly


Here is thing, Windows Phone's as they are now, don't need a Quad Core processor, nor would they even benefit much from it.
I'm yet to run into any application which actually needs more performance on my Lumia, the code is incredibly tight in everything.
If it was Android you are bound to run into something that stutters or drops frames.

Still, If you want a bigger screen and higher resolution screen and a Quad-Core Snapdragon, the Lumia 1520 is the one you are waiting for.
1080P @ 4.5"~ is just silly, you aren't going to discern the pixels even with a 720P panel let alone 1080P, 1080P however would increase the power consumption for little gain.

If you want to get onto the body part, not sure about the Sony, but my Lumia self heals, evident from when I dropped it ages ago, leaving a black gash on the red back, few days after that, it was gone, just a very light scratch, that's actually more important to me than being water resistant. (You're opinion may vary due to personal conditions and/or taste.)

There are 2 ways I managed to stream flash player content. Well 3 if you count splashtop and PC mirroring but thats not very elegant... 

1. Using Plex. It has apps for pretty much every flash player on the web and can stream content from your PC at home to Windows phone. As long as you have a decent upstream (1.5 mbps) you can stream the likes on Gametrailers, The Escapist, CNET...etc

2. FlashVideo - http://www.windowsphone.com/en-ca/store/app/flashvideo/ff811366-4d1b-42be-9254-d9f6f3dd3e8e

The secret to flash players is that virtually none of them actually stream .FLV content. They only use flash for authentication since its way more secure than HTML5. The FlashVideo is able to stream a lot of these flash players that actually play .mp4 files but use flash to authenticate. It also works great for live streams on those questionable streaming sites.  ;)

I must have spent over 10 hours this month streaming US open tennis, soccer and such using this app.

There is also this app which has good reviews, but I haven't used it yet myself - http://www.windowsphone.com/en-ca/store/app/flash-videos/6e5424ae-04ac-4e76-855b-a8cc9ddcc38c


Well. Not exactly what I was hoping for! :P (I wanted it as part of my Browser, not an App) But cheers anyway.
Adobe is such a pain sometimes.
On Android I would just download an old version of Adobe Flash.

I am getting the 1020 next week, upgrading from the 925. Love Nokia and it is a shame that they take so long to get to Australia.

Good to see that the camera is pretty good on this phone, hopefully the software is not to shabby!! Comparisons are pointless as beauty is always in the eye of the beholder and it is especially refreshing to see the same people bashing the Xbox one posting here.

You dont see people bashing PS4 posting here? Its the ones that love Nokia phones and hate Sony Phones

There is only one person in here that has bashed sony phones... dont know if he has a 360 or a wii.

On the other hand there are a lot of people saying either Nokia is shit, Windows OS is shit or both.  Even though they likely have fuck all experience of either.

ok, why Xbox lovers started praising Nokia Phones all of a sudden? Its because they are great phones?

This is way late but i am replying anyway! I have had a Windows phone since day 1 basically - Windows 7 mozart to a HTC HD7 and through to a Nokia Lumia 925 and finally the 1020. Nokia make amazing phones and they intagrate seemlessly to my Windows 8 Laptop and Xbox 360. So basically I live in a house that is all synced through Microsoft and Nokia, i am not afraid to say that I am very happy with all the products I own, also Windows phone is far from rubbish, I happen to find it MUCH better then Iphone and Android. 

Back on topic, get what phone makes you happy and suits YOUR living situation, no need to bash each others opinions etc.

Needs one final comparison shot from inside the pool.


Xperia Z1

Lumia 1020

She looks better in the Z1 shot. It covers up the fact that she wears so much foundation.

No, no, no. I mean a picture from *in* the pool. Submerged. :-p

I saw this thread pop up again so I figured to post this, which was published today.

Here is a camera comparison with iPhone 5s, Lumia 1020 and rest of the big hitters.

http://www.nbcnews.com/technology/smartphone-camera-battle-iphone-5s-faces-stiff-competition-4B11218947

Sadly they didn't compare it to Sony's Z1, but with the 6 phones tested, conclusion is as follows:

"Nokia's Lumia 1020, which runs on the Windows Phone platform, outdistances the other phones by miles, as long as you're shooting ordinary shots and don't need to get in too close. You really must see the quality to believe it."

In terms of phone camera capabilities:
Lumia 1020 >>>>iphone 5s>Galaxy S4= LG G2 > HTC One >>>> Moto X

Samsung and apple laughs at Sony and Nokia. IOS and Android laughs at windows phone especially. The windows phone Eco system, developer support, community, widespread appeal aren't even in the same leage as Apple or android.

Being able to take a better picture is a very niche appeal, is easily achievable by any decent technology capable company. I'm sorry window 8 is a step backward from window 7 and windows mobile is just a knee jerk reaction to google android and IOS.


"Being able to take a better picture is a very niche appeal, is easily achievable by any decent technology capable company."lol, you just implied Apple and Android phone manufactures arn't decent tech companies. Lumia 1020 and Xperia Z1 cameras blow droid and apple cameras out of the water.  

I implied "any decent technology capable companies, if they want to". Clearly camera isn't their focus feature. Galaxy > lumia in every other aspects including sales. Oh yeah, dat massive sales gap. 

Rofl.

Oh yeah just wait another 5 years, android will be the standard platform when the massive Chinese market overtake America in revenue. Apple isn't doing too well, window phones have no presence there. Already, Samsung and numerous other android platforms are building up their brand.
