Samsung Galaxy formalizes both leaked Alpha – The Digital

We thought having to wait for the IFA, but it’s finally well before the event that Samsung unveiled what some sensed as the new high-end manufacturer, namely the Galaxy Alpha. And despite the obvious care, the status of second flagship will be difficult to obtain.
If a shell that abandons the plastic for a metal frame was enough to make a high mobile terminal range, the Galaxy Alpha would probably precipitate the successor of Galaxy S5. But with a Super AMOLED 4.7-inch (11.9 cm) in the definition “only” HD (1280 x 720 px), the new Korean baby, suggests that will not drive on high land range reserved for subfamilies Galaxy S and Galaxy Note.

But the rest of the fact sheet is rather high-flying, starting with the engine that drives the beast running. In fact, Samsung has opted for a homemade solution, stamped and Exynos powered by 8-core – 4 units swift Cortex A15 and clocked at 1.8 GHz, and 4 more economical units, Cortex A7 and clocked at 1.3 GHz. This set uses 2 GB of RAM to host Android 4.4.4, while the internal memory is 32 GB. However, Korean has a good reason to be generous on the storage space, since ‘ he ignores the microSD port.
 

picture side, there is a main camera 12MP sensor and a 2.1 megapixel front. Connectivity, meanwhile, is more copies, since Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 4.0, GPS and NFC are part of the side of a guest: 4G Category 6 and theoretical speeds of 300 Mb / s . An addition that should make the Galaxy Alpha terminal to highlight for Bouygues Telecom and Orange, both of which have launched the so-called LTE Advanced , so the 4G class 6 or the “4G +” without being able to offer compatible terminals.

Equipped with a fingerprint reader, the Galaxy Alpha is powered by a battery frail 1860 mAh. We would have liked a higher capacity hair, but that’s probably the price that Samsung has managed to keep all parts of the instrument in a thick shell of 6.7 mm and heavy with only 115 g.

A light weight to be distributed from the beginning of September, depending on the market, black, white, gold, silver or blue. The details are not yet known – nor is the suggested retail price.
