Only 7 mm thin metal frame , a revised design language – the Samsung Galaxy Alpha breaks with some Samsung traditions. No wonder, then, that the noble device new ways must follow the manufacturer for Production . We offer some insights into the production process of the Samsung Galaxy Alpha.
Samsung can not slouch in the production, after all, is the Galaxy Alpha can measure at the highest level with the competition. The 4.7-inch smartphone to compete with the next iPhone; even – or especially – in optical terms. These mills Samsung the frame by means of so-called CNC machines from a single piece of metal, which is not only the look but also the robustness benefit. In it the openings for battery or display components be admitted before it goes to the side frame.
In this context then the holes are cut for the buttons and slots, Finally it comes to the color scheme: The Galaxy Alpha is not painted as in different color variants, the manufacturer sets for more on the “anodic oxidation”, an electrolytic process for the production of oxide layers on metals, the HTC already a few years ago has demonstrated an impressive video.
This technique gives the case not only the color produced thereby layer also serves as a protective layer against corrosion and abrasion. What material Samsung mills the parts is actually not known, but we suspect aluminum, simply because the alternative production materials (titanium, magnesium, steel) would be too expensive or can not be treated anodically.
If the housing is finished then, all hardware components are installed. Finally, the final device is subjected to several tests: The lab for quality assurance, for example, is a drop test, in which the Galaxy Alpha is allowed to repeatedly fall from different heights on the ground – thus the resistance of the metallic casing is to be tested. In “Bending Test”, the housing is then squeezed from both sides, the “twist test” provides information about the number of different inputs and surcharges which can put away the Alpha.
Specifications
Samsung is undoubtedly proud of the new high-end device, otherwise it would probably be no own blog entry about the manufacturing processes of the Galaxy Alpha. We call conclude with the specifications of smartphones in memory: Inside a potent Exynos 5430 provides octa-core SoC with the support of a 2 GB memory for lots of power, to be joined by 32 GB not expandable memory. Verso is fitted a 12 MP ISOCELL camera on the front is a 2.1 MP camera is being used. In addition, Samsung equipped the Galaxy Alpha a heart rate monitor and a fingerprint sensor, are used the same modules as it did with the Galaxy S5.
The display has a HD, so 1280 x 720 pixels, so the panel with a diagonal of comes 4.7 inches at 312 ppi decent. Who wants to set the 600 euro expensive device, you are spoiled for choice: In addition to a gold and a silver variant, Samsung offers also a blue, a white or a black version. The Samsung Galaxy Alpha is already on Amazon for pre-order, but an exact delivery date is not yet known
