Samsung Galaxy Alpha vs HTC One mini 2 Metal mania

The Samsung Galaxy Alpha comes forward as the next super mini but its armor will surely be tested in battle against the HTC One mini 2. The two have their distinct strengths but enough common ground to meet on - compact and metal.
Samsung Galaxy Alpha vs. HTC One Mini 2
The Galaxy Alpha is lighter and much thinner but Samsung used aluminum sparingly. HTC covered all of the One mini 2 in metal. The Galaxy Alpha has processing power to spare while the One mini 2 has a midrange chipset. The HTC brings the trademark BoomSound speakers while the Samsung promises a better camera.
Before you place your bets, heres specs the rundown.


Samsung Galaxy Alpha over One mini 2

  • More powerful chipset with double the RAM
  • Slightly bigger screen - 4.7" vs. 4.5"
  • More compact and much thinner - 6.7mm vs. 10.6mm
  • 16:9 camera sensor
  • 2160p video capture
  • Faster LTE downlink - 300Mbps vs. 150Mbps
  • Fingerprint scanner
  • Heart rate monitor

HTC one mini 2 over Galaxy Alpha

  • Aluminum unibody
  • Front-facing stereo speakers
  • Expandable storage
  • Bigger battery - 2,110mAh (sealed) vs. 1,860mAh (removable)
  • Better front-facing camera - 5MP vs. 2.1MP
  • Costs less
Its no surprise that the Galaxy Alpha has the faster chipset and more features, Samsung loves heaping those on. What it cant get quite right is nailing down that premium feel that HTC has been nailing since the original One. Geeks are more willing to forgive plastic, while premium users care less about the performance.
Theres no perfect middle ground, a phone that combines the looks of the One mini 2 and the brains of the Galaxy Alpha. Apple fans might argue that the description matches the iPhone but in the Android world theres no exact match. The Xperia Z3 Compact comes close but that calls for its own piece.

The screen size explosion brought us the phablet segment, which basks in growing popularity but, unfortunately, it left midsized devices in the midrange. Now were seeing the tide turn a bit with compact high-enders like the Samsung Galaxy Alpha and the HTC One mini 2 but that direction puts them on a collision course. Flip over to the next page for the first punches exchange.
