Apple's rival has officially launched the two competitors to its upcoming iPhone. And with the information we know about the iPhone 6 specs, is it enough to beat the new Galaxy smartphones from Samsung?

Based on what we know through rumors and leaks, there would be two iPhone 6 smartphones this year, one with a 4.7-inch display and another with a bigger 5.5-inch screen. 

The smaller one would certainly be up against the Galaxy Alpha which was announced a couple of weeks ago, while the 5.5-inch edition should be the rival of the Galaxy Note 4 which was launched yesterday. 

According to recent reports, the iPhone 6 will pack a sapphire display, 64-bit A8 chip, the new iOS 8 version, a better and improved Touch ID home button, and a more rounded display. 

The camera is said to retain its 8 megapixel resolution, but with better performance. In alleged leaked images of the device, the iPhone 6 will be the thinnest iPhone yet, and as a result, the camera lens appears to be protruding from the phone's back surface. 

On the other hand, Samsung has really upped its game with the Galaxy Alpha and Note 4 which both comes with metal frames, the first in a Samsung smartphone. Both devices run on super powerful hardware - the Galaxy Alpha gets an Exynos chip while the Note 4 boasts the latest Qualcomm Snapdragon 805 chipset. 

On the design department, the Galaxy Alpha gets a plastic casing, while the Galaxy Note 4 brings back the faux leather back cover. 

As far as the rumored specs of the iPhone 6 are concerned, they are still pretty evenly matched with Samsung's newest high-end devices. Pricing will play a major role in determing which is the better smartphone between the 4.7-inch iPhone 6 and the Galaxy Alpha, and the Galaxy Note 4 and the 5.5-inch iPhone 6.
