Stacking up the contenders: The Alpha managed to squeeze itself into a slightly smaller form factor than the iPhone 6—and at 6.7 mm, it's a whole 0.2 mm thinner.

We're sure you'll notice the difference.

The Galaxy Alpha and iPhone 6 look remarkably similar from below.

Speaker grille, data port (standard Micro USB 2.0 on the Alpha and proprietary Lightning on the iPhone), and microphone are in roughly the same places.

Spot the differences!

The iPhone's headphone jack is on the bottom.

None of those pesky Pentalobe screws on the Alpha. Proprietary screws are annoying, but any screws are better than the usual alternative—glue. What will this mean for repair?
