Samsung Unveils Galaxy Alpha Smartphone with New Metal Design
Samsung is worried, that’s a fact. This last quarter, it reported its worst performance in 2 years, mostly because of the faltering sales of its S5 flagship. It’s been just about time that people understand that gimmicks don’t truly matter rather than showing-off (or for point scoring).
But the worst is the design. Samsung’s mobile phones are just about as pleasing design-wise as BlackBerry’s are in terms of apps. It’s about time that it has to change its usual years-old design.
Turns out, Samsung finally has.
After several months of speculation, Samsung lastly revealed the Galaxy Alpha, its first metal top-quality in ages. No need to smash the hell out of your phones (or post an awkward selfie, I’m just saying!) just yet because there is more.
The display screen of Galaxy Alpha is 4.7″ with 720p HD quality. That’s not exactly the flagship-standard for 2014 but offers a decent pixel density of 320ppi. Apart from there, almost nothing is subpar in Galaxy Alpha.
The internals are Samsung’s home baked. The Exynos 5 Octa octa-core cpu comes with 4 Cortex-A15 cores clocked at 1.8Ghz and 4 Cortex-A7 at 1.3Ghz. There’s also Mali-T628 MP6 GPU. Accompanying such power lies 2 GB worth RAM and 32 GB storage space, which is non-expandable.
At the back of Galaxy Alpha is a 12 mp camera capable of shooting 4K video at 30fps. there is also a 2.1 megapixel lens at the front side for all your selfies.
Galaxy Alpha will hit around the world this September for an unspecified price tag.
