The Galaxy S5 Alpha may seem like a mid-range phone from Samsung at first glance, but it is in fact a compact power house that can easily hold its own against the likes of the Galaxy S5 and other heavy weights from LG and HTC. In addition to its top-notch specs, the premium build quality of the Galaxy Alpha also gives it a key advantage over the Galaxy S5 — which has a very poor in-hand feel and looks very plastic-y.
However, the Galaxy S5 still has certain advantages over the Galaxy Alpha including a higher resolution camera and screen, an IP67 rating and better battery life, which tips the scale in its favor for many users.
