Alpha Galaxy: What is the new smartphone from Samsung? – Boursorama

As we know, more and more French people are addicted to their phones and thus become more demanding. To overcome this, phone manufacturers unveil each year many new, more powerful one than the other. But in this game, two giants clash. Indeed, war is declared, and well under way, between Samsung and Apple. While the giant launched its new iPhone in September 6, the Korean manufacturer was quick to respond and also to go out, a few days apart, its new smartphone: the Galaxy Alpha. The objective is clear: to win back customers that Apple stole presenting a smartphone in every way comparable to the new iPhone. Design, autonomy, technical expertise, and price, it delivers here a summary of the feedback received on the Galaxy Alpha.



A convincing design

Undoubtedly, Samsung is beginning to catch up in terms of design compared to Apple. Finished in aluminum and aesthetic finesse and minimalist, the Galaxy Alpha is regarded as the most beautiful Galaxy smartphone to date. No doubt, the South Korean manufacturer is now targeting the high end market. First surprise when the grip, the new kid smartphones appears to be a lightweight, ultra-thin! With a screen of the same size as the iPhone 6 (4.7 inches or 12 cm), the Galaxy Alpha is less heavy than its direct competitor (115 grams against 129 for the iPhone). A weight difference is explained among others by the plastic, not aluminum as its main competitor. Another good point that weighs in the balance: the fingerprint reader. Not as intuitive as Apple, the main phone button welcoming a biometric sensor, the same as the Galaxy S5, stands up very well. It is in the quality of photos and videos that disappointment dawns the tip of his nose. With a 12 megapixel sensor, image quality promised grandiose. It is not. Like its predecessors, the Galaxy Alpha by properly spell when the light is at the rendezvous, but lose so much as when it runs out.



A smartphone overestimated

The sound is also reported. The speakers are quite sufficient for watching short videos, but do not think listening to music or movies! Once the volume pushed to the maximum, the sound saturates and becomes unpleasant to the ear. In all cases, the battery would not support the move. Indeed difficult to take a whole day without recharging the smartphone! Fortunately, the battery is removable and may be changed as desired. Many small faults that do not take away in any way the quality of the phone. The real problem lies in the phone’s price. Count 649 euros, excluding subscription, giving you the new smartphone. At that price, it’s easy to find other high-end smartphones with better technical capabilities. One thinks of its main rival, the iPhone 6, which only costs 60 euros more. The calculation is quickly
