A real test of the Samsung Galaxy Alpha is planned, officially, the device appears in October on the market. But now seems to be clear: The Samsung Galaxy S5 could be rather called iPhone killer as the new Samsung Galaxy Alpha. . Because the new device, the manufacturer has sorted a class under the S5, the latter still offers more
Comparing Samsung Galaxy S5 and iPhone 5s in practice, you realize: The technical data does not reveal everything. Example: While both devices have a finger sensor from Apple but much more useful. For details about the Samsung product called our Galaxy S5-test.
Despite these negatives the Galaxy models offer some features that are missing in the small print the iPhone. Wi-Fi 802.11ac offer at Apple currently only new MacBooks and no iOS devices, to name just one example.
Conclusion for comparing the data of iPhone 5s, Samsung Galaxy and Galaxy Alpha S5
Of course can do with all these devices, something that we are in the premium sector. iOS or Android? This is probably more a matter of taste. For iPhone 5s owners the Samsung Galaxy Alpha is not in any case be attractive enough that it would be worth a change. Some interesting features are included, but the display has a lower resolution. Rather, the owners of older iPhones might be interested in it. Priced seen the Alpha is also (still) not a bargain.
For this fall’s release of the iPhone 6 is on. We are excited to see how claiming the Galaxy Alpha and the iPhone 6 in the practice tests
