Could a mid-range smartphone such as the Samsung Galaxy Alpha outthrow the iPhone 6?
For starters, the iPhone 6 is built to have more outstanding features than the new Samsung phone, but given a budget, the Alpha is definitely a good choice.
Do you have the budget? Go for the iPhone 6. But if you're looking for an excellent smartphone sans the hefty price tag, the Galaxy Alpha could be the best bet.
Here's a quick review of the Samsung Galaxy Alpha specs vs. iPhone 6 specs.
Display
According to Phone Arena, "Like we said, they both offer 4.7-inch sized screens, but they employ different resolutions and display technologies. Although they're not necessarily ground breaking in comparison to what's out there, the iPhone 6's 4.7-inch 750 x 1334 Retina display bears a few more pleasing qualities that catch our attention more - like it being slightly more detailed and brighter. Well, the Alpha's 4.7-inch 720 x 1280 Super AMOLED display is still nice, especially when its color accuracy is improved over past AMOLED screens, but it resorts to using a PenTile matrix pixel arrangement, which doesn't make it look as sharp as the iPhone 6's display."
Camera
The Galaxy Alpha has a 12MP camera and boasts of producing better looking images under low light conditions.
Meanwhile, the iPhone 6 Plus boasts of a 8MP rear camera with the true tone flash and a 1.2 front camera.
Battery
The Samsung Galaxy Alpha can run for a maximum of 12-13 hours.
"In real world testing we found the iPhone 6's battery lasted 35 hours of low mixed usage (including standby) and 14 hours of heavy usage, with the brightness set to 50%," said Trusted Reviews.
Processor
"There's no arguing that these are more than capable of running the most demanding tasks, but as we meticulously look at the two side-by-side, we certainly get a snappier response with the iPhone 6's dual-core 1.4GHz Apple A8 chip with 1GB of RAM and the PowerVR GR6650 GPU. Armed with an equally formidable piece of silicon, a quad-core 2.5GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon 801 SoC with 2GB of RAM and the Adreno 330 GPU, the Alpha is pretty responsive with its performance, but it doesn't have the same level of tightness and reaction that the iPhone 6 exhibits," Phone Arena reviewed.
