Comparison review
The Motorola One Zoom is slightly better than the Samsung Galaxy Alpha, having a global score of 80 against 76.3. Even being the best we compare here, the Motorola One Zoom is a incredibly thicker and heavier phone than Samsung Galaxy Alpha. The Galaxy Alpha has a bit more vivid screen than Motorola One Zoom, although it has a really smaller display, a just a bit worse pixel amount in each inch of screen and a lot lower 1280 x 720 resolution.
Motorola One Zoom has a superior storage for games and applications than Galaxy Alpha, because it has 128 GB internal storage capacity and a SD extension slot that admits a maximum of 128 GB. The Galaxy Alpha has just a bit better performance than Motorola One Zoom, because although it has a smaller amount of RAM and an inferior number of cores (although they are faster), it also counts with an extra graphics processing unit.
Motorola One Zoom counts with a way better battery performance than Galaxy Alpha, because it has a 115 percent bigger battery capacity. The Motorola One Zoom captures a lot better pictures and videos than Galaxy Alpha, and although they both have the same (4K) video quality and the same 30 frames per second video frame rates, the Motorola One Zoom also has a much larger aperture and a back facing camera with much more mega-pixels.
Although Motorola One Zoom is a better device, it is a lot more expensive than the Samsung Galaxy Alpha, and it doesn't have such a good quality/price relation as Samsung Galaxy Alpha. So if you want that extra features and specs, you can buy the Motorola One Zoom, otherwise you can save some money and get the Samsung Galaxy Alpha, giving up some specs and features.
