Final Conclusion
Samsung Galaxy S Advance is fueled by 1 GHz dual core processor, Mali 400-MP GPU and 768 MB RAM. It is regardless to say it runs multi threaded applications and HD games better than Lumia 800. So gamers do not look back and think for Lumia 800. On the other hand, Lumia 800 has 3.7 inch AMOLED display which is though smaller than Galaxy S Advance’s 4.0 inch display still has support of 480×800 px resolution. Corning Gorilla Glass scratch resistant coating on display surface and Nokia ClearBlack Technology together form superb combination. Lumia 800 gets a lead here.
Also primary camera quality of Lumia 800 is way better, so as the video recording. It lacks secondary camera which is a major drawback for this WP. Samsung Galaxy S Advance can hit up to 14.4 Mbps HSDPA speed in 3G network and up to 237 Kbps speed in GSM network which are impressive. Other connectivity features are pretty much the same. Lumia 800 has better quality music player but it lacks DivX and XviD video format support which Galaxy S Advance does. After taking a look at the over all comparison, I can say Samsung Galaxy S Advance is better, go for it.
