This review revealed one truly mind blowing fact - a 5 times more powerful chipset draws less power than 5 times weaker one!!!

Phenomenal

    darkgamer, 17 Sep 2014These are not flagship cameras and I don't think you should... moreYes indeed... But one of them should be better... I wanted to know which one has better image and which one is faster in low light. Maybe htc was much better in low light and htc would have won the camera versus

              the G alpha battery endurance test are crap = only 52 hours
              (samsung are you smoking??)

              Z1 C = 101 hours = world record for Snapd801 phone

              Z1 C + Iphone6(4.7) = the best of 2014 small compact.

              Galpha = ASS...

                      O.k the Galaxy Alpha might be Samsung First Metal Bodied Phone,but its the lost of Micro Sd Card Slot an no Removable battery an the Price of the Phone,that might keep alot of Consumers away from buying this phone,so Samsungs future Metal Phones will really show to company that removing the card slot and removable battery option might be a Big Mistake,an have also got to think about the Prices as well

                        AnonD-263286, 17 Sep 2014This is a mismatch. Like mike tyson vs a girl. Compare Alph... moreAlpha vs Z3 Compact, thats what I want to see....

                        Both great, Alpha better in some aspects, and Z3 Compact better in others...

                        In my personal preference the Z3 Compact seems to suit me better...

                              [deleted post]Well, I don't see how the HTC could have beaten the Samsung in this case.

                                      Obviously the Alpha. Lol. Both are good though.
                                      Now to read the review.

                                        I think the most important factor for comparing things is "PRICE", and these two phones are not competitors for each other! I'm waiting for Alpha VS Z3C and of course i prefer Z3C at this time!
