Subject to many rumors because of its finish “high end” (ie without plastic in terms of Samsung), the Galaxy Alpha was formalized by the South Korean firm. Eventually it will not be an advanced version of the Galaxy S5, but a full model, thin and light to compete with the next iPhone.
Samsung Galaxy Alpha incorporates the new developed by Samsung, the Exynos 5430 with 4 + 4 cores and Samsung, the new design consists of a more angular design and a metallic edge processor.
A high-end configuration
Samsung Galaxy Alpha adopts the latest generation of 32-bit processor house, namely Exynos 5430 with 4 + 4 cores: the first four cores are clocked at 1.8 GHz and the next four are clocked at 1.3 GHz. It is associated with 2 GB of RAM as well as 32GB of internal storage expandable via MicroSD not.
This smartphone features a controller LTE-A sixth category capable of absorbing rate amount of up to 300 Mb / s.
The display consists of a 4.7-inch screen Super AMOLED 1280 x 720 pixels.
Regarding the photograph, the Galaxy Alpha has a 2.1-megapixel sensor face and a back 12-megapixel sensor.
As for connectivity, the smartphone is not compatible with the latest USB 3.0 standard. It will settle for USB 2.0. This is fortunately not the case for wireless connections since the smartphone is compatible with Wi-Fi 802.11 ac, Bluetooth 4.0, but also the NFC.
The Galaxy Alpha also has a fingerprint reader.
The smartphone will come with Android 4.4.4 KitKat added to the overlay TouchWiz launcher and with the house.
This data sheet is actually quite disappointing for a smartphone we thought was a more powerful version of the Galaxy S5. Indeed, although very innovative Samsung Exynos processor, 8 cores sees its employees in the event of heavy use. Galaxy Alpha will be used most often with four cores, which is being clocked at 1.5 GHz.
Furthermore, the content of the unit size (132.4 x 65 , 5 x 6.5 mm) and especially its finesse required to install Samsung Galaxy Alpha in 1860 mAh battery, which we still seems fair enough to ensure proper autonomy to this smartphone.
A new competitor to the iPhone
The premium character of Alpha Galaxy is mainly resulting from the abandonment of the plastic trim in favor of a border metal. Samsung also said he had to get used to this method. Hopefully the Galaxy Note 4 will benefit from this border.
However, this border is the only element translating this “qualitative increase” to the extent that the casing of the machine returns to the material of the Galaxy S5, namely a foamed plastic flying here a pattern of small squares
Note that this smartphone will be available in five colors:.. black, silver, gold, white and blue
With what we have just said, parallel with the iPhone seems unlikely. Nevertheless, the similarities with the iPhone are numerous.
The first comes from the resemblance colors available. The iPhone is available with a black front and white, but is available regarding its back in black, white and gold. Samsung offers three solid colors for the front and rear, which must be added the color blue. Lovers of external wealth will therefore get noticed with this fully gilded smartphone.
The second comes from the brushed metal trim, which is, like the iPhone, the only metal element This smartphone. However, to stand out, and do not entertain legal problems because of patents filed by Apple about its design, Samsung has made hollow side edges of Alpha Galaxy. It remains to be seen if this is to the benefit or detriment of ergonomics
The third reason of the location of buttons and connectors. Speaker, USB jack and volume buttons are in the same location as on the iPhone, with one exception: the ignition button on the device is on the right of the Samsung while it is at the top of the iPhone. In short, the classic side of Samsung, but the design is such that the resemblance to the iPhone is obvious. Especially since the next iPhone should have a screen similar to the Galaxy Alpha size, increasing the assimilation.
The last similarity is due to the price. The Galaxy Alpha would be sold at around $ 689 and maybe two versions of storage: one with 32GB, the other 64GB If we take the analysis, the resemblance. iPhone can achieve value for money, in which to incorporate a key element: the assimilation of the consumer to a pigeon
A future flop
Indeed.? selling a smartphone with a smaller screen, less powerful and equally a fact sheet battery, or even less than that of the Galaxy S5 for 689 dollars, claiming that it has a metal edge, clearly shows the estimated door Samsung consumers.
This border should have been incorporated in a long time, and should not justify yet another model in the Galaxy range.
While Samsung is not complaining economically, but saw sales fall for the first time by 3.9% in the second quarter.
It is therefore not rest on its laurels and avoid future such productions ultimately pointless If the firm does not want to be overtaken by other manufacturers such as Huawei or Lenovo, which are respectively the third and fourth in terms of volume of sales of smartphones.
Finally, this smartphone can take on the story because in less than a month, the Galaxy Note 4 will be announced by Samsung, which is the flagship of the brand.
