Samsung Galaxy Note 7 alternatives include mobile phones from different manufacturers that are equally good. Since the Galaxy Note 7 sells at $849.99, users may opt to check on other handsets that offer the same specs, but at a lower price such as LG G5, One Plus 3 and HTC 10, Galaxy Note 5 and iPhone 6s Plus.

The first Samsung Galaxy Note 7 alternative is the LG G5 which sports a smaller 5.3-inch screen with 1440x2560 display. The device also runs on a Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 processor equipped with 4GB of RAM just like the Galaxy Note 7. The price point of LG G5 is only $499.99, Android Headlines reported.

The OnePlus 3 can also be a Samsung Galaxy Note 7 alternative as it also runs on a Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 processor but its RAM is higher at 6GB. The device sports a 5.5-inch screen with a display resolution of 1080x1920 pixels. The One Plus 3 sells only at $399 which is about half of the price of the Galaxy Note 7.

Another Samsung Galaxy Note 7 alternative is the HTC 10. The device has impressive specs at a price of $699.99. It is a good competition to the Galaxy Note 7 as it also pack a 1440x2560 display. It houses a 5.2-inch screen and runs on a Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 processor also equipped with 4GB of RAM, Android Authority reported.

Samsung Galaxy Note 5 also qualifies as a Samsung Galaxy Note 7. It may just be a predecessor of the Galaxy Note 7 but it also packs the same RAM, screen size and resolution of the Galaxy Note 7. The good thing is you can get almost the same specs for just $629.99.

Samsung Galaxy Note 7 last but not the least alternative is the iPhone 6s Plus.
