After looking at both Jay my option would be the Galaxy Samsung s5. I just like everything about it and it's more established than the Alpha as its been out in the wild longer.

No one can answer for you - It has to be your choice based on your own needs from a mobile phone.
The usual advice is to have a good try in store before committing to one or the other.

I would personally go for the Alpha, but that's just my view

It is definitely a personal thing. However if it was my choice and price was a consideration I would go for the S5.

There are some good deals to be had on the S5...whereas the Alpha seems a lot more expensive.

It appears that the Alpha camera isn't as good as the S5 and the Alpha does not support external memory...

This may be of interest...

Another good trick.

Assign each phone to the side of a coin and flip it. If you're disappointed with the result, pick the other one.

Its silly, but it works more than it should!

It would definitely be the S5 as a choice between the two. I know you don't like too big screens but I'm throwing in the Z3 and the Note 4 into the equation

Glad you are talking about flipping coins and not phones @Toby ...the price of the Alpha would deter me from that trick
