Samsung Galaxy Alpha: Samsung’s New Design Philosophy Unveiled
The Galaxy Alpha has
been surprisingly prone to leaks, like none other in its range. The
phone looks like what an arrange marriage between Apple’s iPhone and
Samsung Galaxy S5 might lead to. The phone as expected is made of a
metal frame and boasts an Octa-core chipset.
Galaxy Alpha had been hot in leakster
circuits ever since it was announced but with its official launch, the
leakers now have one less device to worry about. Samsung seems to be
learning the lessons that the market has been trying to teach it for
quite a while. The company has tried a different design approach for
this device. Though it resembles the design of the iPhone, it is still a
welcome change from all that plastic Samsung has been throwing at the
consumers for the last few years.
The phone had seen a lot many leaks before its official release.
The phone is a lot thinner in comparison
to its older siblings. The Alpha is 6.7mm thick and weighs about 115
grams. The display on the phone is a 4.7 inch screen with 1280X720
resolution. The styling does look premium on the device. It is
anticipated that Samsung’s new design philosophy would also influence
the upcoming Galaxy Note 4 which is expected to be made of new
materials.
On the hardware front, the Samsung
Galaxy has a few things that won’t impress the technologically minded.
The device runs on the latest Android Kitkat 4.4.4 OS. It has an unnamed
Octa core processor (Quad 1.8GHz + Quad 1.3GHz), and it is most
probably an Exynos 5 based chipset. The RAM on the device is 2 GB and
has internal storage of 32 GB. It has no expandable storage though. The
Alpha has a dismal 1860 mAh battery which might dissuade a lot of folks
from getting the device.
The main camera on the Alpha is a 12
megapixel shooter and is accompanied by a 2.1 MP front camera. It is
capable of shooting 4K videos. It will retain the usual Samsung features
such as Ultra-Power Saving Mode, S Health, Fingerprint Scanner, and
Private Mode, amongst others.
The Galaxy Alpha will be available in September and will be available in black, white, gold, silver and blue colors.
