Comparison review

Although it's the best in this review, the LG Q70 is a thicker and noticeably heavier device than Galaxy Alpha.
Samsung Galaxy Alpha has a slightly better screen than LG Q70, although it has a little inferior count of pixels per inch in the screen, a way smaller display and a way lower resolution of 1280 x 720px. LG Q70 counts with a much bigger memory capacity for applications and games than Galaxy Alpha, because it has 64 GB internal memory and a SD memory slot that supports a maximum of 1,95 TB.
The Samsung Galaxy Alpha has a little faster CPU than LG Q70, because although it has lesser RAM memory and a lower number of cores (although faster), it also counts with an additional graphics processing unit. LG Q70 features a better camera than Galaxy Alpha, and although they both have the same video frame rate and the same 3840x2160 video resolution, the LG Q70 also has a larger camera aperture to take better captures and video in low-light situations and a back-facing camera with a way higher resolution.
The LG Q70 counts with a really longer battery lifetime than Galaxy Alpha, because it has a 4000mAh battery capacity instead of 1860mAh.
The LG Q70 is a bit more expensive than the Samsung Galaxy Alpha, but it's still a good choice, as you can get a much better phone for that extra money.
