Comparison review
The Xperia 10 II has a general score of 78.5, which is slightly better than Galaxy Alpha's 76.3 overall score. Both of these devices work with Android OS, but the Xperia 10 II has the previous 10 version and Galaxy Alpha has Android 4.4.4. The Xperia 10 II design is much heavier and somewhat thicker than the Galaxy Alpha.
The Galaxy Alpha features just a bit better processing power than Sony Xperia 10 II, because although it has a lower amount of RAM memory and a lower number of cores (although they are faster), it also counts with an extra graphics processing unit. The Galaxy Alpha features a little more vivid screen than Sony Xperia 10 II, although it has a really smaller screen, a way lower 1280 x 720 resolution and a lot less pixels per inch in the screen.
Sony Xperia 10 II and Samsung Galaxy Alpha both count with similar cameras, and although the Sony Xperia 10 II has a bigger aperture, they both have the same 3840x2160 (4K) video definition, a 12 megapixels resolution camera and the same video frame rates. The Sony Xperia 10 II features a lot bigger storage for apps and games than Galaxy Alpha, because it has 128 GB internal memory and an external memory card slot that allows a maximum of 1000 GB.
The Xperia 10 II has a very superior battery life than Galaxy Alpha, because it has a 3600mAh battery size.
