The new Galaxy Alpha is quite unusual device offer the Korean manufacturer. This is not a smartphone with high-end performance and price, and differs in terms of performance from the masthead Galaxy S5 presented at the beginning of the year. The release date of this device and screen size, which decided to Samsung made device begs for comparison to yesterday presented the iPhone 6 version of the 4.7-inch screen.
Models and dimensions
New iPhone 6 has been made in the technology unibody from a single piece of aluminum, just like the previous model. However, finished in another way, instead of the sharp corners and device users may expect to see the edge of the oval. Samsung Galaxy Alpha presents a much more interesting in terms of appearance. The device has a sharp, not-rounded edges. The whole phone is surrounded by an aluminum frame extended at the bottom and at the top of the unit. The smartphone is plastic, and plecki are covered with plastic is slightly reminiscent of the Galaxy S5.
In both cases, the producers decided to screen size of 4.7 inches in length, but they differ in dimensions lumps. Alpha Galaxy has dimensions 132.4 x 65.5 x 6.7 mm, while the iPhone 6 is longer, wider and thicker: 138.2 x 67.1 x 6.9 mm. It also differs in favor of the unit weight of the Korean manufacturer. Samsung phone weighs 115 gram, while the new Apple smartphone weighs 129 grams basic version.
Display
Both phones have exactly the same screen diagonal length of 4.7 inches. For comparisons iPhone 5 and 5s with a screen diagonal length of 4 inches and subsequent models Galaxy S with about 5-inch panels, the difference was significant dimensions. In the case of the iPhone 6 and Galaxy Alpha differences are minimal.
Screen resolution is also different, with the benefit of Apple: 1280 by 720 points (312 PPI) in the case of Alpha Galaxy, and in 1334 to 750 pixels (326 PPI) in the case of a new smartphone from Cupertino. The values, however, are close enough that you can safely put the device
System Optimization
It is difficult to compare the device with iOS and Android in terms of performance solely on the basis of the same specification, and even indications of benchmarks. Software Google and Apple are so different in terms of optimization that it is difficult to determine based on the specification table, which one will perform better in practice.
Apple accustomed us to the fact that always selects the components so to the new phone for two years since the premiere of the user experience performance problems. For Samsung Galaxy Alpha we have a system that is not the most efficient unit on the market. Android also has this property, that after a period of use is slower than on release.
Processors
The new iPhone 6 is equipped with a completely new, 64-bit SoC (ang. system on a Chip) called Apple A8. The dual core chip based on ARMv8 was formed in 20 nm process. This is the direct successor to last year’s Apple A7. The manufacturer boasts that it is about 25% and 50% faster than its predecessor, respectively, in terms of processor speed and the graphic. I still do not know with certainty what is the timing of the CPU (it is probably a 1.4 GHz), and how much memory found on the device (probably not a bone 1 GB).
Alpha Galaxy uses a completely different system SoC, which ośmiordzeniowego, 32-bit Exynos 5430 Samsung’s own production. This model also has been made in the 20 nm process, and consists of two sets of four different core performance (4×1,8 GHz Cortex-A15 and 4×1,3 GHz Cortex-A7). Has been used here big.LITTE solution which allows more energy savings than conventional systems quad. Specification is complemented by 2 GB of RAM.
Camera
Another important element in the smart phone is the camera. In the case of the iPhone 6 again, we are dealing with iSight webcam performing pictures at a resolution of 8 megapixels with f / 2,2 and two-color LED Illuminates. Has been improved optics and improved video recording. From now on Apple’s phone can record 1080p material at 60 frames per second and 720p at 240 frames per second. There is here still the possibility of video recording 4K.
Samsung phone is equipped with a camera Isocell doing 12-megapixel photos, even with f / 2,2 and a single LED. Alpha Galaxy 4K UHD video recording, 1080p at 60 frames per second and 720p at 120 frames per second. The unit of the Korean company is indeed available and can be tested in practice, Alpha Galaxy, but the first photos and videos made by independent reviewers Apple iPhone 6 we will wait a few more days. Then only you will be able to compare that with the phone doing better photographs.
Software
Due to the great similarity between the two devices the biggest difference between the iPhone 6 phones and Galaxy Alpha is not a technical specification and the software. The device of the Cupertino company will go on sale the latest version of the operating system for Apple mobile devices, namely iOS eighth By creating a system of only a few models of appliances company Tim Cook is able to refine the software almost to perfection.
Makes that iOS is much more stable 8, has plenty of reach for holders of Android features and much better with Mac computers. In the case of Alpha Galaxy manufacturer has chosen to latest stable version of Android 4.4.4 marked KitKat and TouchWiz overlay. The software is less stable, and the applications on Google Play very often bite the visual system applications, but the user has a much wider possibilities of personalization.
Summary
The iPhone 6, as well as the Samsung Galaxy Alpha is a great device. In terms of quality of workmanship, materials used, dimensions and detail of the screen is hard to fault them. For mobile Apple speaks mostly tailored software components used, even better in terms of performance camera than the iPhone 5s and the legendary Tim Cook’s attention to detail.
In the case of Alpha Galaxy advantage is certainly removable flap battery, slightly smaller dimensions, lower price and unusual finishing devices combining high-quality plastic, metal frame and leather-like finish. It is difficult to give an answer which of these devices is objectively better, because it is up to the individual user. So far, both products promise to be as some of the best available in its class.
