Galaxy S 4 vs Lumia 920 | Pocketnow

- You've been asking for it: a head-to-head matchup of the best of Windows Phone with (one of) the best of Android. We had to get the hotter comparisons out of the way first, but here for your viewing enjoyment is the latest piece of Nokia versus Samsung hotness to come out of Pocketnow.
Why the delay? Funny you should ask. We've been churning out quad-vs-octa, Samsung-vs-HTC, and Galaxy-vs-Galaxy comparisons first because, at the moment, they're the more apt head-to-heads. Nokia's Lumia 920 is a half-year old at this point, and the truth is, putting it up against the newest Samsung powerhouse just seemed cruel and unusual from a certain perspective.
That aside, there are people who legitimately want to know how the top-of-the-heap smartphones from Android and Windows Phone stack up. That's why we did an HTC One vs Lumia 920 video last month, and that's why we're following it up with this one right here. So here's hoping this comparison, which aims to showcase the best and the worst of each device, helps some of you folks make some buying decisions. And here's hoping further that the rest of you remain civil in the comments. You know what I mean.
Please Note: Sprint has (very) recently improved its LTE network throughput in the Greater Boston area, so at least in our testing area, and at least for the moment the inconsistency with previous reports of Sprint not measuring up to competitors' speeds is authentic, not an oversight.

Bought a pretty new lumia 920 red colour from 2013 today . Still feels so good and flagship level in the hand .
live tiles makes windows phone different. lumia 920 is the best.
Nokia Lumia is way better than s4
Lumia 920 much more appealing and better hardware and software as far as I'm concerned. Both still brilliant designs
I've been waiting for this so long THANK YOU!!!!
Excellent comparison. Can't wait for your review of the Lumia 928.
My choice is Nokia lumia 920!!!!!
my phone is Nokia Lumia 520 but it can beat your iPhone 5.. :)
This is great, your reviews are completely not bias which is rare in phone reviewers these days! :D
That was one of the best phone review/comparison I have ever seen. Well done
I want the nokia!!!
Am I the only one in loved with windows phones and especially now with 8.1 is amazing 😍😍
Yes, you are.
lol k then
lol no 1 here as well..
lol k
I feel the same!!
Love the videos. So detailed and good. Keep it up!
I wanted to get the iphone 5c but I have some problems so I'm deciding on either of this phones (I'm getting it for Christmas) any advice?
Lumia 920 the best
Yes the battery IS replaceable in the 920, you just have to take the screws out unfortunately. It took me about 5 minutes to replace the battery. (no prior experience) The S4 has better RAM and an SD slot, not to mention faster processor speeds. That being said we all know shortly that will become useless, because like every single Android phone on the market, it will start bogging down heavily. I have an S3 but I am switching to the 920 this week.
I have a 32GB Micro SD card in my s3, and I have not even used half of my device memory much less the SD card. I do a lot of programming, so I keep editing apps etc. on my phone along with a lot of files. The embedded battery makes the phone more durable, so you do not have that cheap thin plastic cover. With the 8.1 update the OS is amazing, and I like the fact all my Office files can be synced. (like most people, I use office heavily).Everything is backed up on the cloud with a good bit of memory to use for free and more with paid. I also notice that this phone is compared with new phones like the S4 and the Iphone 5, and still kicking a** that in itself is pretty amazing. I remember the old Nokia brick phones, you could have holes in the the keypad from so much use and busted screen it still worked. I am glad to see Nokia making a comeback.
dude I switched to the 920 from the S3 three months ago :D
nokia lumia 920 is the second hammer set after the legendary nokia 3310 and the first of its kind in smart phones.. i'm still trying to get my hands on it but no luck.. wish i'll get it this year lol.. and after watching iphone 6 drop test video i've totally lost my faith on apple ;)... lol they are just making craps...
heeey im using a nokia lumia right now but what is the battery app you use in the video?
actually i am coming from the iphone, but it will be cool learning how to use the WP8. And can you answer me if the lumia get hot when you are playing games? And can you conect the wifi from a long distance of the modem? thanks man, I really appreciate
I feel like the Lumia 920 is more user-friendly with its simple home screen and live tiles. And I like how you can change the size, arrangement and color of the tiles. (No hate replies pls!!!😄👍🍟🍔🍝🍗)
i like windows phones because they never get slow even with the lowest spec unlike android with the quad and octa core, they get slower after few month use
i m thinking to buy a windows phone... plz give me some suggestion about it .. Should I buy it or should I go for android.I have short listed Nokia Lumia 920.
if you're a gamer & appfreak go for android , if you want the basic stuff,a more stylish interface and the best camera for that money , buy a 920
Ely Paul thanks...
i had the Lumia one month so far, and its amazing believe me it is way cooler than it looks, if you want to be so easaly in social networks like twitter, facebook its just simple, the galaxy looks more filled with useless things, the camera of the Lumia is outstanding really its amazing you can make videos while shaking the phone and they will be still perfect, im not samsung fan at first place. s yea i like more the lumia but you better go and check both phones in some market and you decide
what's your experience with WP 8? I don't know which one to go for, htc one or lumia 920
Thanks! A great, balanced review. Not sure if you do "major" firmware update reviews or not, on any phones (just saw this). That said, would be great to see a repeat, with the "Amber" and/or "GDR2" update to the 920, that's been going out. Might even be going out to other Nokia products, too. It addresses a few of the camera issues you've mentioned, with the Pro Cam app that's also new, that can be set as default. Plus - now I have FM radio! Thanks again.
LUMIA 920 THE BEST
Lumia off course
Fantastic video! A question where i can find the s4 wallpaper? It's amazing!
Do you know when 8.1 is going to come out and will it be available for lumia 720? :)
I love Lumia 920 > it's best
Samsung of course, Android has so much more apps and features.
More apps, but how many flashlight(using this as an example only) apps do you need?
Thank you and it is a pleasure to be of assistance. Just be sure to put it on charge before trying to install the updates. The latest updates are important to ensure the phone works well and as I previously said; before using the sat nav it is important to install maps or the sat nav and other apps which use map data will not work. I installed the maps for the whole of the UK and the download was about 250mb. Once you have installed the maps, you can use the sat nav when offline which is good.
may i know whats the battery app you use on lumia 920?
I thought that most people prefer Android I thought that I am the only one who likes windows phone 8
you r not the only one
I love windows phone
s4 is just too much in one phone... all those things it offers will eventually become useless... lots of party tricks to brag about with your friends but it feels cheap and i expect it to start lagging like all android phones do... nokia brings the quality to the phone market and i like it as do so many people... it brings the best out of a phone unlike s4 witch is a commercial for samsung it shouts look at me... if you want performance 1.9ghc 64+gb hd screen exc exc you should buy a pc or laptop not a bit of everything but nothing good...
Nice comparison, really helpful!
Will there be a comparison video with the Nokia 1100?
Samsung! !!!!
i gt ma lumia 1020
Your reviews are second to none most of the time. Thanks.
hello.. i wanted to buy a windows phone.. so should i go for htc 8x or lumia 920?? any difference between this 2??
what's the battery app on the lumia 920 @ 9:50 ?
@pocketnowvideo awesome review. please tell me the wallpaper name on Samsung s4.
can you recommend for me what is the best smart phone to buy with 200-250$ budget this days?
Wov!
Can I really create my own widgets directly on my S4?
I have only had this phone maybe 24 days
but I did not know THAT
Then it could be a lot cooler than my Lumia 920
as I'm also a progammer
(but don't much like to do it at home)
Any direct links, please?
Great comparison and cool glasses.
I Loved this comparison! Thank you pocketnow. The comparisons seem to be getting less and less biased. Beautiful!
Thank you, the apps are not the priority, what counts is performance and stuff like mailing and document editing. About 928, I'm from EU and we're getting just 925, do you think 920 weight is annoying enough to go for 925 with just 16 gigs?
Thank you for the great review!
PLEASE RESPONDE
i might get the s4 active does it have a wide variatie of games
Thanks, I hope you guys will do it.
pls show a comparison between the ipad mini and galaxy camera
Special thanks Michel fisher and your friends for such great work, really awesome video ;)
i'm really confused, i do like the lumia alot but what concerns me is the battery life and the facebook app that misses some features like downloading etc....i saw it in another video. can someone tell me what is the best here.
Looking forward to the camera software video! I have my s4 preordered
gained you a new subscriber today (me)
I thought that this video is going to help me to decide which phone to buy, but actually, it's much complicated now!...which one is much better the lumia or GS4?
Does the lumia have most apps that android offers?
How about web browsing using miracast on a big HDTV?
Out of craziness I bought a pre-owned black Lumia 920 from a site similarly to eBay 3 weeks ago (I opt for Lumia 1520 but the condition sold online were mostly poor condition).. Though the Lumia 920 was running Windows 8.1, I was not really happy as there was a slight dent on the top corner (though not that noticeable if just a glance).. I went to a Nokia Service Centre and requested to change to a White housing (thank God they still have it).. Went back then installed Windows 10 Technical Preview at home and it's been an amazing device.. Now I have my daily driver, a white Galaxy Note 3 and a white Lumia 920 :p
I bought an external battery and just ordered a battery sleeve/case for the Lumia 920
The S4A doesn't have a battery sleeve/case until September
Great informed vid . Thanks from Scotland
on a similar note, for HTC one series too....they came just back to back, what was the need to do so and why did HTC flood market with different phones in the same price segments.
Can someone tell me what i should buy s4 or lumia ?
i like lumia because it look better then the s4 look
i mean yellow lumia but just someone tell me whats better for screen and everything s4 or lumia ?
so tell me why there are ~165,000 apps then?
not for sale?
Actually I am from Brazil, but I thing is the same proceeding to download the maps. I will be very careful because here in Brazil the Lumia 920 is very expensive and difficult to find. Am I warn about this updates in my phone or I need to look for it on the internet?
I'm getting the HTC One. I just listen to the reviews cos this guy is fantastic. Wish all reviewers were this good.
I've had my Lumia 920 for over 2 years, moved from WP8.0, to 8.1 now awaiting WP10. People still ask me "is that the same phone, or is that a new replacement?" Ageless.
Wow...the video that convinced me to get the S4. Two plus years later I am still rocking both phones. But after watching this video again and looking at my use of both phones, I would say that the 920 has done better in the long run. The S4 still beats the 920 in screen quality and battery life, but that is where it ends. Build quality, sound, call quality, camera, and operation fluidity goes to the 920. Fortunately I didn't have the dust front camera issue so that was a plus. Right now the S4 has become the backup mainly because it's become more laggy with the last Android update, but also because it looks bad. Will replace it soon with either a iPhone 6s or Note S6 Edge. As for the 920...still a smooth operating eye turner, but looking to trade it for a new high end Windows Phone as soon as something comes out. But I'm impressed by both phones that after 2 plus years they still function basically the same as the first day.
why do you wear yellow glasses? :) just asking, please answer
man, i wanna buy a lumia 920, but i am a little afraid because some reports about lumia problems. do your have had those problems?
The lumia screen won the direct sunlight test hands down as it was still visible while not perfect because the S4 was totally unreadable. At least you mentioned the shutter button. Not a fan of either really but thinking of picking up a 1020 or preferably a 1520. I have a microsoft 640 that I got for $60 and a Huawei on android I've had for years that cost me $325 back when, both are good bang for the buck. My sis in law and brother still use the original Galaxy S, but I don't think new samsungs have that kind of longevity.
What's the title of that movie @ 4:07
I add also with the Nokia you have live tiles which are constantly streaming content, of course the battery drains quicker.
Thank you guys :-)
Great review.
thanks man for the review and the answer. I will buy my lumia 920 this week ;)
What's better nokia lumia or galaxy s4 ???
must make a camera comparison video, lumia 920 vs htc one.
Very good review!
Had to mention that this was a great comparison
would you do a giveaway of them pleeeeeeese?
I have been a Windows Phone/Mobile user since 2006, my last WP was the Lumia 920. I had issues with signal strength, battery life, and heat on the 920. People are always bragging about the camera on the 920, but I didn't buy a "smartphone" to become a photographer. That being said I recently purchased a Galaxy S4 (out of curiosity) and I love the phone. Its a lot smoother than I thought it would be, apps load right up just like Windows Phone and having a notification area is awesome.
I use Airview regularly. I'm a heavy e-mail user and the client with built in airview preview is brilliant. No longer do I have to go into each e-mail to read them, I can hover my finger over and read them all very quickly.
This is one of the most unbiased reviews I have seen. I appreciate that. I
really liked this review, it went deep into all interesting features both phones had to offer, personally I would go for the lumia as well because I'm not a big fan of android, I still think windows phone delivers a overall bigger and smoother experience, and it would be nice if samsung delivers awesome hardware for a windows phone
You guys seem like smartphone experts. What kind of smartphone do you think I should get? I'm a first time smartphone user and I'm getting one tommorow.
Though it may sound silly, I will be getting a Nokia Lumia 520 for a cheap phone just to play with since aside from the major selling points, 520 and 920 at the core should be the same, But you have confirmed for me that I will be getting the S4 sometime early next year sometime, by then a new one should be out and S4 will be cheaper and older , but not to old that it won't be useful. I like the WP 8 but I will continue to support Android and try them both out. Thanks
nice review
that background on the gs4 looks soooooooooooooo nice
pocketnow pls give this comparison
lumia 920 vs iphone 5 vs galaxy s4 vs htc one camera
which do you prefer for you
This guy has such great reviews
what does that have to do? playstation users have a pc with windows to browse on internet right?
The front facing camera pic from the GS4 was pretty sharp
You should go through all the phones from the galaxy line, comparing how it has changed over time
After you insert your sim (micro sim required) put your phone on charge and power it on, then go to settings which is a picture of a small cog on the main screen. Then connect to wifi. Once your wifi is connected go back to settings until you find 'Phone Update' press the phone update box which says 'check for updates' and then any available updates will be installed. During major updates the phone will switch on and off during the update process. Good luck and I hope you enjoy using the 920.
No worries and I am sure you will not be disappointed as it is a great phone, but if you are coming from Android, be prepared for a steep learning curve as WP8 does take some getting used to at first, but once you get to grips with it, it is great. Also make sure you shop around before buying as Lumia 920’s have been coming down in price (in the UK) due to the imminent launch of the 928. I hope you enjoy your new phone and best wishes :-)
oh thats great because the iphone 4 has a weak wifi, I have to be closer to the modem as I want to connect. Thanks again for all the answers, you make me feel confident about the nokia lumia 920, I hope the best for you !
Michael Fisher i like you videos you are great reviewer. best reviewer of all pocketnow guys.
You should talk about price also. there is huge diff between GS4 and L920...
