“style, you can buy it,” said Samsung drowned in the press release for Android smartphone Galaxy Alpha. With the new model, the mobile phone manufacturers adopt a short distance from its previous design philosophy that even expensive and technically well-equipped smartphones like the Galaxy S5 wrapped in cheap plastic acting. Alpha, however, has a metal frame. . Nevertheless,
manufacturers such as Apple and HTC have been doing this long: repack their technique in acting noble metal housing and glass. The sometimes like to have technical disadvantages and must be made with considerable material and energy costs. But they give the customer a good feeling to have got something special for his money, no matter what technology is hidden underneath.
Fully consistently Koreans are not but jumped on this trend. When Alpha is only the metal frame. The back of the Galaxy Alpha apparently made of the same plastic as the other current Samsung smartphones. After all, this indicates that the cover is removable and the battery can be changed. To what material it is in the metal, Samsung does not say. Would it be aluminum, it would have the manufacturer probably so named
But even if it should be simple to stainless steel, is negative makes the metal is not the weight noticeable. With only 114 grams, the new Samsung is very easy. Above all, it should be comfortable to wear, because it is exceptionally thin at 6.7 millimeters. Basically, the ingredients for a new high-end phone.
Technically well stocked
Compared to the Galaxy S5 you have the Alpha but accept a few limitations. So the screen is slightly smaller at just 4.7 inches and has 1280 x 720 pixels, a significantly lower resolution than Samsung’s top model.
But otherwise it allows little to be desired: In his Octacore processor ticking four cores at 1.8 GHz and the other four with 1.3 GHz, the RAM is two GB in size. In addition to Gigabit wireless, Bluetooth 4.0 and LTE are all modern radio standards on board, the camera has twelve megapixel resolution. Only in memory it could be tight. Samsung shows a configuration with 32 GB, of an expansion slot is out of the question.
How good is the Samsung with the new design kicks in everyday life, you will probably be able to find out in September. Then the Galaxy Alpha will be available in five different colors at a list price of 649 euros.
