Re: Nokia Lumia Series Smartphones Discussions and Experiences

because he owns a lumia [clap]
So does that make him a " authority " to decide which is better ? [confused] .

And as a owner of lumia your friends words are " golden " for you and all the owners of lumia who have posted there views they hold no value right ?

Shall I post some words of my friends regarding android ? Since they are users of it ?

With all due respect to your friend , Your are quoting his words as if bill gates or Steve jobs have uttered them [lol]

Btw here is what co- founder Steve Wozniak has to say about windows phone

Steve Wozniak: Windows Phone is more beautiful and intuitive than Android, it's 'no contest'

Android users who are into rooting, experimenting etc will/may be disappointed by nokia lumia series. An user who use only for calls/chats/viber/skype/whatsapp/fb and few other applications may feel great while using lumia. They may not like the android interface with a slight lag (in some)
Let's do not fight over it. Use android vs windows thread for that.

Each has own advantages and disadvantages. Everyone got a freedom to think and choose.

You like android? Excellent. Get an android phone.
You love windows? Excellent. Go and buy lumia our windows phone.
You love ios? Excellent. Go buy apple iphone 5

I hate apple though ;-)

Nokia Lumia 1020 camera on show: bokeh – Nokia Conversations : the official Nokia blog

Juha Alakarhu is Nokia’s head of imaging technology. Along with colleague Eero Salmelin, he invented the 41-megapixel sensor technology that lies at the heart of the amazing new Nokia Lumia 1020.
In this series, we take a walk together through a gallery of sample pictures and video taken with our new superphone and Juha discusses how the different components of the camera on the Lumia 1020 can each contribute to taking great pictures.

Please click through on the pictures to see the full image.



Juha says:

A key difference between taking photos on a smartphone compared to an SLR is that, on a smartphone there’s a tendency for the devices to put everything in focus. That’s not a bad thing, but people often wonder why photos taken with professional camera equipment have that added sparkle.

It’s difficult to create photos with sharp foreground and a softer background, or the other way around. In SLR images, bokeh or the use of a shallow depth of field, is a key way to make images unique and to tell stories and extract your subject out of the background.

The Lumia 1020 gives this back. The large image sensor allows for a natural shallow depth of field. The camera also offers the option for manual focus (from 15cm to infinity), which is especially useful for close-up or macro shots. One further option is in the latest version of the Creative Studio app, which allows you to create bokeh effects in post-processing.

The end results are photos with a razor sharp focus area, but a softer focus on the periphery that makes the main focus object or area stand out so much they sparkle.



Tomorrow, in the third part of this series, we’ll be looking at how manual control of the shutter speed can help create some amazing photographs.

Re: Nokia Lumia Series Smartphones Discussions and Experiences

520 seems to have slightly bigger screen and hardware/gpu is the same - it seems to make more sense to buy 520 than 620 at the outset.

Yes , but the 520 doesn't have a front facing camera and no clear black screen ( hence the screen looks a bit washed out when compared to the 620 ) ,both features are present on the 620 .

Re: Nokia Lumia Series Smartphones Discussions and Experiences

Hi guys, I got my lumia 520 a few days back. Just getting used to the new OS [;)],
A few things which I noticed is
1) The resolution or color density is better than my Samsung galaxy R which my wife has.
2) 5 mega pix camera is not as good as the one on my "dead" n8. I couldn't zoom in or zoom out [surprise]:stupid:. And there is no flash + no front facing camera ( But we can't ask for the moon at the price at which it is being sold)
3) Whats app is not working ? And I don't know why, experts your advise on the same will be highly appreciated. But wechat is running well. I cant find out the reason why ?
4) I could send a few pics over bluetooth to my wife's cell, but I couldn't fiddle out how to send songs to another device via blue tooth (here too expert advice will be a huge welcome).
5) Overall the device looks neat and sturdy not like the flimsy phones which samsung makes, No offence meant to samsung phone owners, this is my personal opinion.
