First impression:. Galaxy in chic
Samsung Galaxy S models are among the best smartphones on the market!. But fans of quality design a la Apple turned up so far about Samsung nose: Too bulky, too much plastic, no clear line. All that is about: With the Alpha Galaxy Samsung also wants the design to catch up with Apple – in many respects the Alpha looks like a copy of the latest iPhone. After the first few minutes with the Galaxy Alpha is certain: So valent has never been a Galaxy smartphone felt. The case of Android 4.4 smartphones is significantly narrower than the Galaxy S5, the angular metal frame feels sturdy and high quality. Overall, the Alpha remembers but rather to the iPhone 5S in the iPhone 6 – obviously Samsung was assumed in the development of its iPhone clone of an unmodified Apple design. Direct comparison with iPhone 5S and 6, see the photo gallery, as well as design comparisons of Flickr user Martin uit Utrecht. The iPhone 6 with its rounded body fits in comparison significantly smoother in the hand than the Alpha. What do you like, but here is ultimately a matter of taste. Despite Metal Alpha is 15 grams lighter, and two millimeters thinner than the iPhone 6 – compared to the S5 (about 20 grams heavier, 1 cm wide), it seems almost dainty
The screen: Galaxy on iPhone-level
corresponds to the display diagonal of 4.7 inches (1280×720 pixels) exactly from the iPhone 6 And when first Galaxy swallows the Alpha only introduced by Apple tiny nano-SIM card, which makes it easier to switch from iPhone 5. In addition, Samsung waived as a sharp full HD screen – the finally has the iPhone 6 is not. And both displays are sharp enough anyway. Thanks to the extreme contrast of the Super AMOLED screen act as the punchy colors still iPhone. This is the iPhone screen brighter.
If you are familiar with the current iPhones, the is the circumferential beveled metal edge before certainly known.

Samsung Copies Apple’s weaknesses?
A bit of a shock for Galaxy Fans: Samsung has removed the memory card slot. After all, the built-in memory with 32 GB (26 GB free from work) is about twice as large as in the S5, but unlike Apple missing lush equipped models with 64 or 128 gigabytes. Even when the battery Samsung the lower level of Apple adjusts accordingly: Instead of 2800 mAH in S5, is in Alpha only a slim battery mt 1860 mAh, also here an almost identical value as the iPhone 6 (1810 mAh). In the test the alpha
Alpha Galaxy: New power-saving processor
Apparently the technology in the Alpha works much more power efficient than the iPhone or S5. Besides the smaller screen might be due to the processor: Samsung Octacore processor Exonys 5430 offers a combination of four low power 1.3 GHz cores and four high-performance cores with 1.8 GHz. In the practical test, he showed himself to be sufficiently fast for all normal applications, but does not reach far the top speed of iPhone 5S, iPhone 6 or Galaxy S5.

12-megapixel camera in the test
The rear camera has a resolution of twelve megapixels Alpha, while the front camera offers 2.1 megapixels. Video records the Samsung Galaxy Alpha on in 4K (3840×2160 pixels). With the 8-megapixel camera in the iPhone 6 the Samsung Alpha can not keep still. The iPhone 6 does in daylight and sports scenes shots that are better in the sight test an entire class (grade 2.4 instead of 3.5) – and photos are much faster in the box. Anyway: Despite fewer pixels (12 instead of 16) offers the Alpha in all visibility testing a similar picture quality as the S5, is not really bad
Strong fitness functions like the S5
calls sound with the Galaxy Alpha just as excellent as with the iPhone 6 However, as the S5 it weakens the UMTS -Reception where Apple continues with the new iPhones standards.

Conclusion: Samsung Galaxy Alpha
The bottom line is that the operation succeeded: The Samsung Galaxy Alpha is handy, easy, and finally offers a high-quality design. Compared to the iPhone, it can score with longer battery life and better fitness functions from the factory. But technically the Alpha is inferior not only the Galaxy S5 scarce. In direct comparison, the iPhone 6 with a great camera, better reception and abundant storage capacity is a bit forward. Incomprehensible but that Samsung has waived the major strengths of the Galaxy models, such as the expandable memory and the waterproof housing. Finally, you must not copy everything Apple. On one point, but the Samsung Galaxy Alpha Apple is clearly superior: When price. Depending on the model variant, the iPhone 6 between 150 and 350 euros will cost more than a new Samsung Galaxy design. Alternative: The Sony Z3 Compact is not only chic and convenient, but also waterproof and upgradeable via memory card.
