Samsung Announces "Sophisticated" Galaxy Alpha Smartphone, thinner than S5

By Admin 14 August 2014
Samsung has revealed their first ever metal-framed phone, the Galaxy Alpha, which they have described as 'sophisticated'.  The self-proclaimed 'sleekest Samsung Galaxy smartphone ever' boasts a wafer-thin thickness of just 7mm.  This is an impressive 1.1mm thinner than the S5, which is a (no chunky) 8.1mm.

In the past, Samsung has been criticised for the plastic feel of their phones.  The S5 has a plastic removable back cover, for example, whereas Apple regularly uses the sleek metal-finish design of the iPhone as a selling point.  This does not mean that the S5 doesn't feel like a premium handset, personally I prefer the removable back cover.

Apart from the metal frame, the Alpha doesn't seem to have brought anything new to the table.  The S5 still remains the companies flagship smartphone and features better specifications when it comes to the screen (the Alpha is not full HD at a standard 720p with 312ppi), the processer (1.8GHz compared to 2.5GHz in the S5). Other specifications are also inferior to the top phones, such as the Camera (12mp).  On top of this, the screen is slightly smaller than the S5 at 4.7".  The Alpha does, though, feature the touch sensor seen on the S5.
