Abstract: The Samsung Galaxy Alpha has a fit and finish similar to the Note Edge, but in a much more pocketable size. I hope we see some of the design elements from the Galaxy Alpha on the next core Samsung Galaxy smartphone, especially after using a Galaxy Alpha f...
The Samsung Galaxy Alpha is a dream come true for not just Samsung purists, but also anyone who is looking for a small phone which doesn't come with big compromises. While argue that it isn't affordable when it comes to pricing, it packs quite a punch to...
Abstract: There is no denying that the firm grasp Samsung has held over the Android smartphone world over the last few years is beginning to slip, and with recent reports showing that the galaxy S5 sold 40% fewer units than they anticipated, it is easy to say that ...

Good mix of sturdiness, comfort and compactness, Fast and powerful, Camera capable of great photos
Underwhelming display, TouchWiz needs an overhaul, Overpriced
Samsung Galaxy Alpha The Galaxy Alpha is a positive development for Samsung, but it's not the evolution in quality that its upgrades would suggest. Its acceptance of higher-quality materials is welcome, but too much of its design is rooted in the bland...
Abstract: “A snappy, snacky review of the Samsung Galaxy Alpha”The Galaxy Alpha (first impressions | camera review) isn't just another loaded smartphone from Samsung. For one, it's quite compact thanks to its 4.7-inch screen – a deviation from the norm since most h...

Slim, elegant design looks decent and makes the phone very easy to use. Highend peak performance in a 4.7inch handset. Great display, even if it's only 720p. Camera is impressive in good lighting.
Substandard battery life with significant performance throttling. Several hardware shortcomings compared to other flagships. Expensive.
The Samsung Galaxy Alpha is one of those smartphones that I like, but wouldn't recommend over the current crop of high-profile flagships on the market today. The design of the Alpha is certainly very nice, and a significant upgrade over the plastic mess ...
Elegant design, Very good build and stiffness, Very compact and light, Removable battery, High-contrast Super AMOLED screen with stable viewing angles and good color reproduction, Appealing performance, All-encompassing configuration including fingerprint
720p resolution only, Screen a bit dark, No micro-SD slot for expanding storage, Micro-USB 2.0 only, Camera's low light performance disappointing
Samsung launches a strong piece of hardware in the competitive high-end market with its Galaxy Alpha. Though it adheres to Samsung's own Galaxy S5, clear concessions have to be made in comparison. The refined manufacturing process of the new casing and th...
Elegant looks and metalreinforced build, Compact size great for onehanded use, Smooth performance, Loaded with features,
720p screen, Nonexpandable storage, Pricey
There's no doubt in our minds that the Samsung Galaxy Alpha is one of the best phones the brand has outed yet. Apart from its low-res screen and non-expandable storage, it's difficult to find fault with it. Sure, the camera is scared of darkness and the b...
The Galaxy Alpha is an interesting device. It's essentially a flagship device with a mid-tier display and a flagship price tag. Although I did enjoy the metallic bezel, I don't think Samsung went far enough. It is a good first attempt however, and I'm ...
