SAMSUNG Galaxy Alpha Looks Alot Like iPhone

SAMSUNG is going to release a new smartphone in September of this year (2014) which is sure to be totally awesome. With a 12 Mega Pixels camera and PayPal certified fingerprint-sensors, SAMSUNG Galaxy Alpha is expected to be released in September as it was announced a few days back.



The SAMSUNG Galaxy Alpha is going to be an astounding change in the SAMSUNG product strategy. It certainly has many of the Galaxy S5 key selling features, while staking on more premium material such as aluminum. But it's not another flagship, no, it's rather an offshoot of the Galaxy family tree - something that the Galaxy S5 mini could have been but is not. A strange bird, indeed.



The new 4G Samsung handset is called the Galaxy Alpha, and on the specs front packs a generous but not crazy big 4.7 inch HD Super AMOLED display; an octa core processor (Quad 1.8GHz + Quad 1.3GHz); 2GB of RAM; a 12 megapixel rear camera and 2.1MP front lens; and it runs Android 4.4.4 KitKat. Samsung’s fingerprint sensor is also on board.



There’s 32GB of internal memory and no Micro SD expansion slot — presumably that’s had to be sacrificed to make way for the seamless metal-band design.



The most notable tweak here is Samsung’s shift away from plastic — with a metal-edged silhouette that closely resembles the iPhone, although the back of the device has a soft texture — rather than the iPhone’s glass/metal — and the same dot pattern Samsung used on its Galaxy S5 flagship earlier this year.



The GSM Arena comments about it: "The Samsung Galaxy Alpha presents a nice departure from the Galaxy S5 design language." The Galaxy Alpha has a smaller screen than the S5 to make it much more pocketable and also, undoubtedly, to allow it to compete with the iPhone 6 directly.
