New phones have been released last year, and users still need help in deciding which one between the Samsung Galaxy Alpha vs. iPhone 6 is a better bet.

Both phones have noteworthy features.  However, the two newest offerings from Apple and Samsung greatly vary in price. Experts say that if a potential buyer has the budget for a new phone, the iPhone 6 is the best choice. But if price is a concern, the Galaxy Alpha might have similar feature minus price.

Need help deciding? 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."

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.
