Comparison review

These phones have Android OS, but Galaxy Alpha has the previous 4.4.4 version and Moto G7 has Android 9.0 Pie version.
Galaxy Alpha has a little more vivid screen than Moto G7, although it has a much lower 1280 x 720 resolution, a little inferior pixels amount in each inch of display and a really smaller display. Galaxy Alpha has a little bit better performance than Moto G7, because although it has lesser RAM and 4 less CPU cores , it also counts with an extra graphics processor.
The Galaxy Alpha's camera is just as good as the Moto G7 one, and although the Galaxy Alpha has a tinier aperture, they both have the same 3840x2160 video definition, a back facing camera with a 12 MP and the same video frame rates. Motorola Moto G7 has a lot bigger storage to install games and applications than Samsung Galaxy Alpha, because it has a slot for an external memory card that admits up to 512 GB and 64 GB internal memory.
The Motorola Moto G7 features a much longer battery life than Galaxy Alpha, because it has a 3000mAh battery capacity against 1860mAh.
Although Samsung Galaxy Alpha is a better device, it is way more expensive than Motorola Moto G7, and it doesn't have such a good price and quality relation as Motorola Moto G7. If you prefer to save some dollars, you can get Motorola Moto G7, and give up a few features and specifications, but you'll get the most with your budget.
