back in the month of august is all set to release this month on 27th.

Alpha has the rumors and speculation befitting any high-profile smartphone. The
Galaxy Alpha has come up with distinguished looks and feel and even from the
inside it’s different too.
The
Galaxy Alpha is all set to compete with the existing phones in the market.
Leaked Specs:
Looks and Feel
The
Galaxy Alpha is seemed to have a body as that of an i-phone 5 or i-phone 5S,
very slim and sturdy looks. It is also heard that the Galaxy Alpha is to have a
metallic body. It doesn’t have any curved sides like the previous Galaxy S5
Prime, instead it has curved at the corners of the phone to give it a premium
look altogether. Apart from that it may have a texturized back finish, although
the material of which it will be made is still unclear.
Display
As per the
rumors, the Galaxy Alpha would possess a 4.7 inch full HD display of 720 x 1280
pixels. The display type is heard to be a Super AMOLED capacitive touchscreen
with 16 M colors.
Hardware and Software
Under
the hood, the phone is reported to have Exynos 5 Octa chipset which comprises
of 1.8 GHz Quad-core Cortex-A15 and 1.3 GHz Quad-core Cortex-A7 processors. The
GPU is rumored to be that of MALI-T628. If it is so, it will be a big plus for
the gamers. All these high-end techs are going to be supported by a 2 GB RAM.
According
to hearsay, the Galaxy Alpha will be launched with Android Kitkat 4.4.4 which
will make the user interface butter-like smooth.
Camera
The Galaxy Alpha is rumoured to have a 12 MP primary camera
and a 2.1 MP front facing camera. It may be a disappointment for the selfie
takers. It is heard that the camera quality is inferior to that of the GS5’s 16
MP, as it produces less sharper images.
Other Features
It
is rumored that the Galaxy Alpha can support 2G, 3G, 4G networks. Apart from
that, like in the Galaxy S5 Prime it may possess a fingerprint sensor.
According to the hearsay, the phone will be having in-built storage capacity of
32 GB, but the sad part is that it may not have an external memory card slot.
The power house of the device will likely be a 1860 mAh battery. It will also have the
heart rate monitor, like in the GS5 Prime.
Release, Price and
Availability
The Phone is most
likely to be released on September 27th. The pricing of the phone is
definitely higher than that of S5 and S5 Prime due its very high-end features. Rumors
have it, the phone will be priced around $897 in the UK market and Rs. 45000
(approx.) in the Indian market.
Final Verdict
The company describes
the phone as the ‘Next Generation Style phone’. The Galaxy Alpha has got the
sturdy looks and a metal body with very high-end specs but the price of the
phone might be a small problem.
