Powerful processor
Thin and light.
Great design
Powerful and well-specced

The editors didn't like
No expandable memory
Disappointing screen
No expandable storage
TouchWiz is still a problem
Screen is only 720p
It has a disappointingly low-resolution screen
Which is a particular shame given the extremely high price of the phone. It loses the waterproofing of the S5 and there's no microSD card slot for expanding the storage either

If you're OS agnostic? No, buy an iPhone 6. iOS 8 is a much more pleasant experience than TouchWiz. Do you basically want an iPhone running Android? The Alpha is about as close as you'll get. That's by no means a knock against Samsung's design chops. The...

If you love the high-end tech Samsung crams into its phones but hate the plastic bodies, the Galaxy Alpha may well be the phone for you. Its processor and camera perform brilliantly, while its compact 4.7-inch size makes it very comfortable to hold and u...
Premium design, powerful processor, Thin and light.
No expandable memory, disappointing screen
After a short time with the Samsung Galaxy Alpha, it has to be said that there is a lot to like about the device. If you can forgive its screen shortcomings and the lack of expandable memory, what you are left with is a beautifully designed phone that is...

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
