Your moobilephone
nero:
You let yourself confuse by automatic digital "optimization". No device (except DSRL cameras) take pictures without adding a little saturation/sharpness/whatever to it. You can see that the Nokia fucks up the pixels in some places. The Samsung seems to have fewer saturation.
Here is the comparison (booth zoomed 700% in PS with same section of the photo):
Nokia:
Samsung:
And again with the chimney:
Nokia:
Samsung:
You can see that the Nokia pictures have irregularities in some pixels, where the Samsung pictures have smooth transitions. I can achieve the same effect with the Samsung pictures, if I pull up the saturation and pull together the tonal values. The eye thinks the image is better/sharper/more colorful, but this goes to the expense of the quality of the pixels. Basically, you rip some of the quality of the picture away to make the overall look better. In regards to professional printing, the Samsung pictures would be a better choice.
Edit:
Also, the brightness seems to be a problem here. The camera measures the brightness from a chosen point and then adjusts the aperture and white balance to it. Some smartphones (like the iPhone) offer the ability to choose this point to make better pictures in some situations (taking a photo against a window, measuring point should be on the object in front of the window). It might be, that the Nokia just has a better measuring functionality then the Samsung (or just had luck with these test photos).

I prefer the Samsung picture, I think it could also be sharper if you take the photo again but hold the phone still. Then again, image stabilisation is something you would want from a phone camera.
[MAF]Karlis:
both of the pictures are pretty bad tbh, if you decide to buy a new mid-range+ android you should see a big improvement.
if you really like the sharpening though, you could buy a sony phone, since they have their "bravia" engine which does exactly this on your phone screen, but doesn't do the same effect on the photo itself, where it could cause problems.
and yeah, the samsung's picture is editable to be like nokia's, but not the other way around.

Well I didn't check again what are the phones you currently have and how much they're worth, but if you don't need multiple phones maybe you'd better sell them, in order to get enough money back to buy a mid-range smartphone. Of course if they're hardly worth much anymore it's normal that you don't want to bother selling them.
If you're willing to buy a second hand phone you should certainly find one that fits your criteria within 150€ in perfect condition, probably even less, or maybe you should even ask around if you know somebody getting rid of their previous generation phone to get the newer ones, you might get a better price + you get a better source to tell you if the phone has any problem or not.

ye, now i see, even simple Google picassa let me get result close to nokia... hmm so in fact Samsung is better as can get same result, if needed to read text and more options to edit and adjust picture, also important is that Samsung got option to turn off camera sounds, thats handy if wanna take picture without making noise and disturbing
