    1. Prekky how far? The review above was not meant for A+ but just to review specs. However to answer your question, Alpha beats the Phantom A+ based on screen display, camera and battery power considering the everyday usage of life. Games and videos are awesome on the Infinix Alpha. Colour vibrancy is high for the Alpha and you can take moving images with the alpha even in the dark and it will display well.
