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

Disappointing battery life, Lack of expandable microSD storage, Screen resolution could be better
The Samsung GALAXY Alpha signals a good initiative, as well as a good move on the Korean giant's part in the right path towards redefining the design of their phone. The use of a metallic frame and chassis is a sign that Samsung is actually beginning to l...
