Samsung Galaxy K Zoom and Nokia Lumia 1520, two of the most complete smartphones with cameras

The camera is a very important point in a smartphone and the manufacturers will pay more and more attention, coming to offer systems that match and even outperform most cameras. For a time trend is the most important brands have a smartphone with a camera so advanced. For Samsung device that is none other than the Samsung Galaxy K Zoom, a photographic edition of the Samsung Galaxy S5 having a camera 20.7 megapixels and a lens with optical zoom increases ten. Nokia has several models with very full cameras and one of them is the Nokia Lumia 1520. The device is classified in the category of tabletófono by its panel of six inches, at the rear and integrates a 20 megapixel camera with Carl Zeiss lens and advanced features. If you’re looking for a smartphone with a camera toe, these two should be among your options.

As we advance, the Nokia Lumia 1520, has a screen diagonal of six inches, which puts it directly in the category of phablet or tablet-phone. The screen has a resolution FullHD, 368 ppi density and has the technology ClearBlack, which improves contrast and avoid reflections to look good in any situation. Nokia also includes a system of high sensitivity that can handle the screen with gloves. The Samsung Galaxy K Zoom panel has a Super AMOLED 4.8-inch diagonal and resolution is HD, so that the density stays at 306 ppi, which is not bad.

The design of the Nokia Lumia 1520 is more interesting from an aesthetic point of view, but its huge size makes it difficult to use with one hand. The chassis is made in a single piece of polycarbonate with matt finish and is very durable. However we insist that their size does not play in your favor is cumbersome and too heavy (200 grams). The Samsung Galaxy K Zoom design has a more compact and manageable, though its weight is even higher because it is quite thick on the side of the lens and not as aesthetic. The terminal has a texture points in the rear to grip more secure.

As we have said, the two have a very complete photographic profile, but each manufacturer is approaching in a different way. We started with the Samsung Galaxy K Zoom, which has a BSI CMOS sensor of 1/2.3 inch and 20.7-megapixel resolution. The lens has an optical zoom of ten increases, equivalent to a focal length of 24-240 mm. Openness is variable, and ranging from f/3.1 to f/6.3 at the focal closed. Other key points of the Camera of Samsung Galaxy K Zoom are the Xenon flash, system focus and exposure separately, the optical stabilizer, 3fps continuous shooting and recording Full HD video at 60fps. Samsung adds a package of features including a long list of scene modes, but also has an intelligent way to select the best configuration according to the shooting conditions. Finally we highlight its two-megapixel front camera.

The Nokia Lumia 1520 has a sensor BSI measuring 1/2.5 inches and has 20 megapixel resolution. It has a lens of the prestigious Carl Zeiss and although has no optical zoom, it makes a brighter aperture (f/2.4) and a function of high-resolution zoom that is applied after taking a photo, but here the maximum be two increases. The Lumia 1520 also has optical stabilizer to prevent shaking, recording FullHD video at 30fps and has several scene modes to choose from, as well as allowing more technical parameters set by the application Nokia Camera. The company also offers other functions special as Refocus Nokia, Nokia Cinemagraph photo album or Nokia StoryTeller . Before closing this section also include the microphone system Nokia Rich Recording stereo sound recording.

The two models have very powerful processors that allow them to perform any task fluently. The chip of Samsung Galaxy K Zoom is a Exynos with six-core, which is formed by a dual core 1.7 Ghz and 1.3 Ghz quad-core, supported by 2 GB of RAM. The Lumia 1520 features a Snapdragon 800 quad core 2.2 Ghz and the same memory RAM. At this point we want to emphasize that Windows Phone is a system with a simple interface and works very fluid even on terminals with much more modest processors. The internal memory of the Lumia 1520 is 32 GB and can be extended with MicroSD 64Gb, in addition to 7 Gb free OneDrive, cloud Microsoft . The Samsung Galaxy K Zoom offers 8 GB of capacity and accepts cards microSD of 64 GB maximum.

The operating system is a key point when choosing one of the two terminals. On the one hand we have the Samsung Galaxy K Zoom with KitKat Android 4.4, the latest version of the Google system icons. This platform is the most widespread in the world and this gives very clear advantages such as its extensive application ecosystem, which has already exceeded one million in Google Play Store. Android also gives many options for customization through themes, widgets and other tools. Meanwhile the Nokia Lumia 1520 has the Windows Phone 8 and soon receives the update to Windows Phone 8.1, which is loaded with upgrades. The system has a simple and intuitive structure, where all the content is integrated so that the management is as dynamic as possible. However it is a younger platform and its app store is still far from reach Android, although it has the most popular applications.
